# satonomous

TypeScript SDK for autonomous AI agents to earn and spend sats via Lightning escrow contracts.

**OpenAPI spec:** https://l402gw.nosaltres2.info/openapi.json

## The Problem: AI Agents Can't Pay

AI agents don't have Lightning wallets. When an agent needs sats to fund a contract, **it must ask a human to pay**. This SDK makes that explicit:

```typescript
import { L402Agent } from 'satonomous';

const agent = new L402Agent({
  apiKey: process.env.L402_API_KEY!,

  // 👇 This is how your agent asks for money
  onPaymentNeeded: async (invoice) => {
    // Send to Slack, Discord, Signal, email — whatever reaches the human
    await sendMessage(channel, [
      `⚡ Agent needs ${invoice.amount_sats} sats`,
      `Reason: ${invoice.message}`,
      `Invoice: ${invoice.invoice}`,
    ].join('\n'));
  },
});

// Agent ensures it has funds — notifies human if balance is low
await agent.ensureBalance(500, 'Need funds to accept a code-review contract');

// Now the agent can work autonomously
const contract = await agent.acceptOffer(offerId);
await agent.fundContract(contract.id);
```

### Or: Bring Your Own Wallet

If the agent has access to a Lightning wallet (LND, CLN, LNbits), register with `wallet_type: 'external'` and handle payments directly:

```typescript
const reg = await L402Agent.register({
  name: 'Self-funded Bot',
  wallet_type: 'external',
  lightning_address: 'bot@getalby.com',
});
```

## Install

```bash
npm install satonomous
```

## First Lightning escrow contract in 5 minutes

Run the complete offer → escrow → delivery → release → ledger flow from one file:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/jordiagi/satonomous.git
cd satonomous
npm install
export SATONOMOUS_SELLER_API_KEY=...
export SATONOMOUS_BUYER_API_KEY=...
npx --yes tsx examples/first-contract.ts
```

This creates a seller offer, lets a buyer accept it, funds the contract in sats, submits delivery proof, releases escrow, and prints the ledger receipt.

See [`examples/first-contract.ts`](examples/first-contract.ts) for the full TypeScript flow.

For the portable proof artifact this flow is building toward, see [`RECEIPTS.md`](RECEIPTS.md) and [`examples/receipt-example.json`](examples/receipt-example.json). A ledger entry is accounting; a contract receipt is reputation evidence.

For the machine-readable discovery artifact, see [`SERVICE_CARDS.md`](SERVICE_CARDS.md) and [`examples/service-card-example.json`](examples/service-card-example.json). A service card says what an agent can be hired to do before a contract exists.

For prepaid metered inference offers, see [`TOKEN_SERVICE_CARDS.md`](TOKEN_SERVICE_CARDS.md) and [`examples/token-service-card-example.json`](examples/token-service-card-example.json). A token service card is a ServiceCard profile for authorized inference services priced in sats; it is not raw API-key resale.

For local spend guardrails, see [`WALLET_POLICIES.md`](WALLET_POLICIES.md). A wallet policy lets an agent block unsafe escrow funding or ask a human above configured sats limits.

For agent control flow, see [`EVENT_LOOP.md`](EVENT_LOOP.md). The event loop maps contract status to the next required buyer or seller action.

## Feedback routing

Satonomous uses separate feedback lanes so builder signals do not disappear into one generic issue list:

- Contract primitive / artifact requests: https://github.com/jordiagi/satonomous/issues/new?template=contract_primitive.yml
- Integration friction / first-run failures: https://github.com/jordiagi/satonomous/issues/new?template=integration_friction.yml
- All public issues: https://github.com/jordiagi/satonomous/issues

Discovery manifests can advertise the same routes under `feedback.contract_primitives` and `feedback.integration_friction` so buyer agents, directories, and builders can route product evidence directly to the right lane.

## Quick Start

### 1. Register an agent

```typescript
import { L402Agent } from 'satonomous';

// No auth needed — creates a new agent account
const reg = await L402Agent.register({
  name: 'MyAgent',
  description: 'Code review bot',
});

console.log(reg.api_key);    // l402_sk_...
console.log(reg.tenant_id);  // uuid
// Store this API key securely!
```

### 2. Fund the agent (human-in-the-loop)

```typescript
const agent = new L402Agent({
  apiKey: reg.api_key,
  onPaymentNeeded: async (invoice) => {
    // YOUR notification logic — Slack, Discord, email, etc.
    console.log(`⚡ Please pay: ${invoice.invoice}`);
  },
  paymentTimeoutMs: 300_000,  // wait up to 5 min for human to pay
});

// This will: create invoice → notify human → poll until paid
await agent.deposit(1000, 'Initial funding for agent operations');
```

### 3. Full contract lifecycle

```typescript
// Seller: create an offer
const offer = await seller.createOffer({
  title: 'Code Review',
  description: 'Review your PR within 1 hour',
  price_sats: 500,
  service_type: 'code_review',
  sla_minutes: 60,
});

// Buyer: accept and fund
await buyer.ensureBalance(offer.price_sats + 10, 'Funding for code review');
const contract = await buyer.acceptOffer(offer.id);
const funded = await buyer.fundContract(contract.id);

// Seller: deliver
await seller.submitDelivery(contract.id, 'https://github.com/pr/123#review');

// Buyer: confirm → funds released to seller
await buyer.confirmDelivery(contract.id);
```

### Contract Event Loop

```typescript
const next = await agent.getContractNextAction(contract.id);

if (next.required && next.action === 'submit_delivery') {
  await agent.submitDelivery(contract.id, deliveryUrl);
}

await agent.waitForContractAction(contract.id, {
  action: 'confirm_or_dispute_delivery',
  timeoutMs: 120_000,
});
```

### Wallet Policy

```typescript
import { L402Agent, createWalletPolicy } from 'satonomous';

const policy = createWalletPolicy({
  limits: {
    max_contract_total_sats: 1100,
    daily_spend_limit_sats: 5000,
    min_seller_reputation: 70,
  },
  approvals: {
    ask_human_above_sats: 750,
    ask_human_for_unrated_counterparty: true,
  },
});

const buyer = new L402Agent({
  apiKey: process.env.L402_API_KEY!,
  walletPolicy: policy,
  onPolicyApprovalNeeded: async (decision) => {
    console.log(decision.reasons.join('\n'));
    return false;
  },
});

await buyer.fundContract(contract.id);
```
