## What it does

The skill splits rewards into two independent stages: planning and sending. During the `plan` step, it queries the GitHub API for merged pull requests across an ISO week, assigns rewards between 5 and 25 USDC based on contributor rank, and records a 5 USDC bonus for a first merged PR. The output lands in `memory/distributions.yml`, creating a reviewable git diff before any funds transfer.

The `send` step dispatches USDC or native ETH on Base through the Bankr Wallet API. Idempotency is tracked in `memory/state/distributions.json` by recipient and UTC date to stop duplicate payouts on workflow restarts. Running transfers requires a read-write `BANKR_API_KEY` with Wallet API permissions enabled, though planning runs without it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill distribute-tokens -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/distribute-tokens/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/distribute-tokens/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill distribute-tokens -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/distribute-tokens/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill distribute-tokens -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/distribute-tokens/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon distribute-tokens
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/distribute-tokens/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill distribute-tokens -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/distribute-tokens
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/distribute-tokens/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill distribute-tokens -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon/tree/HEAD/skills/distribute-tokens/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- rank weekly GitHub contributors and compute tier-based payouts
- generate a reviewable payout list in `memory/distributions.yml`
- distribute USDC or ETH on Base with idempotency per recipient
- preview token distribution runs using `dry-run` mode

## Example prompts
- Calculate rewards for the most recent completed week: plan:
- Preview payouts without sending tokens: dry-run:contributors
- Plan contributor rewards and execute transfers immediately: all:2026-W17

<!-- autoresearch: variation C — robustness via per-recipient idempotency state, two-phase resolve→execute, dry-run, retries, 403/429 handling, recovery.

> **${var}** — Phase + target selector. Grammar: `[plan:|all:][dry-run:]<target>`
> - `` (empty) / `<label>` / `dry-run:<label>` → **send** phase: distribute a list from `memory/distributions.yml` (empty = first list). *[default — no prefix]*
> - `plan:` / `plan:<week>` / `plan:dry-run` / `plan:dry-run:<week>` → **plan** phase only: compute rewards from the repo's merged PRs and write the list into `memory/distributions.yml`.
> - `all:` / `all:<week>` / `all:dry-run` / `all:dry-run:<week>` → **plan then send** in one run.
>
> `<label>` is a distribution-list label (e.g. `contributors-2026-W17`). `<week>` is an ISO week (`2026-W17`); empty `<week>` = most recent completed ISO week. `dry-run:` previews without side effects (no yml/state writes in plan; no transfers in send).

## Why this design

This skill owns the whole contributor flywheel: **who deserves what** (plan) and **moving the money** (send). It is split into two phases that can run independently or chained.

**Plan phase — the wiring the project was missing.** Merged PRs already name the people moving the project, but shipped work had no path to a wallet credit. The plan phase is that wiring: it ranks contributors by the PRs they merged in the target week (straight from the GitHub API), prices each eligible contributor against a tier table, and writes a labelled list into `memory/distributions.yml` — the exact file the send phase reads. Keeping a human-visible diff on `memory/distributions.yml` between plan and execution is the cheapest possible audit trail when real money is involved: the plan lands in git, and the operator (or `all:` mode, or a chained step) runs the send next.

**Send phase — this moves real money.** The biggest failure mode is double-sending (re-runs, retries after partial failures, day-rollover bypass of "skip if today" logic) or sending into a black hole (no preflight balance, deprecated API path, missing handle resolution). The send phase therefore:

1. **Persists per-recipient idempotency state** in `memory/state/distributions.json` keyed on `(list, recipient, date_utc)` with the txHash. A successful transfer is *never* re-sent within the same UTC day, even across re-runs or workflow restarts.
