# karma

A plugin that handles grants, projects and funding programs on the Karma protocol. You talk to the agent; the chain work happens behind the API.

## What it does

Five skills ship in the box. `setup-agent` registers you and stores an API key, `project-manager` builds projects, grants, milestones and updates, `funding-program-manager` runs a program with its reviewers, applications and payouts, `find-funding-opportunities` searches the Karma Funding Map for grants, hackathons, bounties, accelerators, VC funds and RFPs, and `simocracy-milestone-evaluations` has a program's Simocracy Sims score delivered milestones.

Every on-chain action goes through the Karma Agent API. A server-side wallet signs and submits, so there is no gas to pay and no browser wallet to connect. Each action lands as an EAS attestation and shows up on karmahq.xyz. Any client that follows the Skills Standard can run these skills.

Run `setup-agent` first. Without the API key the other skills have nothing to authenticate with. Simocracy verdicts stay as private drafts until a reviewer approves them, which is worth knowing before you expect a public evaluation.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```

## When to use it
- search live grant programs for a project
- set up a project with milestones
- post a progress update after shipping

# Karma Skills

Agent skills for the Karma ecosystem — find funding opportunities, create and manage projects, administer funding programs, and post milestones and updates.

## Quick Start

```bash
npx skills add show-karma/skills
```

Then ask your agent:

> Create a project called "My DeFi App" on Optimism

> Find active grant programs on Ethereum

> Post an update on my project — we shipped the MVP

> List reviewers for Optimism Audit Grants Season 8

> Show pending applications for my grant program

> Add a reviewer to my program

## What Are Skills?

Skills are reusable instruction sets that encode domain expertise into repeatable workflows. Each skill teaches an AI agent how to perform a specific task within the Karma ecosystem. Skills work with any compatible agent client, including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others.

The `SKILL.md` file contains YAML frontmatter (name, description, version, tags) followed by the instructions agents will follow.

## Available Skills

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [`setup-agent`](skills/setup-agent/) | Register and get your API key — quick start (no account), email login, or manual. Saves key to shell config. |
| [`project-manager`](skills/project-manager/) | Create and manage projects, grants, milestones, and updates on-chain. Handles all attestation actions in one skill. |
| [`funding-program-manager`](skills/funding-program-manager/) | Administer a funding program — manage reviewers, applications, milestones, payouts, grant agreements, and AI evaluations. |
| [`find-funding-opportunities`](skills/find-funding-opportunities/) | Search the Karma Funding Map for grants, hackathons, bounties, accelerators, VC funds, and RFPs. |
| [`simocracy-milestone-evaluations`](skills/simocracy-milestone-evaluations/) | Let a program's Simocracy Sims evaluate an application's delivered milestones — name the program and project or pass ids; one GET for the context (answers, completed milestones, council, drafts and reviewer feedback), one POST per verdict; Karma keeps it as a private draft until a reviewer approves it, then posts it to Simocracy as the Sim. |

All on-chain skills use the Karma Agent API with a server-side wallet. No gas fees, no browser wallet needed.

## How It Works

```
You
  ↓
AI Agent (picks the right skill)
  ↓
Karma API (encodes attestation)
  ↓
Server Wallet (signs + submits tx, gasless)
  ↓
Blockchain (EAS attestation created)
  ↓
karmahq.xyz (visible on the web)
```

- **No gas fees** — transactions are sponsored via account abstraction
- **No browser wallet** — your agent gets a server-side wallet
- **On-chain** — every action creates a verifiable [EAS attestation](https://docs.attest.sh/)
- **Client-agnostic** — works with any AI agent that supports the Skills Standard

## Skill Format

Each skill is a directory under `skills/` containing:

```
skills/my-skill/
├── SKILL.md          # Skill definition (required)
├── references/       # Reference documents (optional)
└── assets/           # Templates, scripts (optional)
```

## Karma Ecosystem

[Karma](https://www.karmahq.xyz) helps projects build reputation and find funding opportunities. Karma's grants platform can be used by organizations to run their grant program (application intake, funds disbursal, milestone and metrics tracking). Key areas:

- **Project Profile** — Share progress updates, show traction and get funding
- **Funding Map** — Discover funding opportunities for your project
- **Grants Management** — Grant operators can administer grants efficiently
