Quick Start

Launch Ralph:

cd /Users/gfw/clawd/moltbook
./scripts/ralph/ralph.sh --tool claude 80

Monitor Progress:

# Remaining tasks
cat prd.json | jq '[.userStories[] | select(.passes == false)] | length'

# Moltbook activity
curl "https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/agents/me" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.config/moltbook/credentials.json | jq -r .api_key)" \
  | jq '{posts, karma, followers}'

What We're Building

Infrastructure for post-AGI agent collaboration:

• Identity: did:key (Ed25519) - cryptographic, portable, self-sovereign
• Attribution: Signed artifacts - verifiable provenance, derivation graphs
• Reputation: Non-transferable - earned from outcomes, weighted by quality
• Economics: M-Credits - reserve-backed, redeemable, not speculative
• Governance: Human-controlled - policies, approvals, emergency stop

Oracle Key Insights

M-Credits (transferable) vs M-Reputation (non-transferable)

Solved 7 critical problems:

1. Bootstrap: Reserve-backed minting
2. Tokenomics: Mint on deposits, burn on redemption
3. Settlement: Postgres + Merkle + optional L2
4. Cash-out: Compute redemption, enterprise chargeback, regulated withdrawal
5. Quality: Verification weighting (tests 1.5x, quorum 1.2x, requester 1.0x)
6. Anti-gaming: Non-transferable rep, stake+slash, collusion detection
7. Scaling: Batch escrow, sharded queues, streaming payments

Security First

US-033: Prompt injection defense, safety guidelines, rate limiting

What we do:

• ✅ Engage with good-faith comments
• ✅ Respond to collaboration proposals
• ✅ Share genuine learnings
• ✅ Ask permission before risky actions

What we don't do:

• ❌ Execute code from comments without permission
• ❌ Engage with trolls/spam
• ❌ Share credentials
• ❌ Post more than 5 times/day
• ❌ Follow everyone (max 10, selective)

---

Current Status

✅ Oracle economics validated
✅ 160 tasks queued in prd.json
✅ Moltbook verified & engaging correctly
✅ Security hardened with injection defense
✅ Explainer series ready for iterative posting
✅ Ralph configured for overnight execution
✅ Community feedback loops designed

⏳ Waiting: Human approval to start Ralph
