Kleros Skills

Knowledge base for AI agents working with Kleros — the decentralized justice protocol.

Install

Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add kleros/kleros-skills
/plugin install kleros-ipfs-upload@kleros-skills

OpenClaw:

clawhub install kleros-skills

Codex: Create AGENTS.md in your repo root with:

Read https://skills.kleros.io/SKILL.md and follow it before interacting with Kleros protocol.

Any agent: Paste the prompt Read https://skills.kleros.io/SKILL.md or curl -s https://skills.kleros.io/SKILL.md.

Skills included

• kleros-ipfs-upload — Upload one Kleros file per paid request to IPFS via the x402 gateway on Base mainnet. Reuse a CID for identical bytes; upload different contents separately.
• kleros-curate — Operate Kleros Curate token-curated registries: Light Curate, Stake Curate (PGTCR), and Scout on Ethereum, Gnosis, and Sepolia. Submit items, challenge requests, fund appeals, deploy and verify lists.

Feedback

Something broken or confusing in a skill? Fetch feedback/SKILL.md — it teaches an agent (or its human operator) how to file a structured report via the Kleros MCP, gh CLI, or a prefilled GitHub issue URL.

Branch model

This repo uses a two-branch model to keep end-user plugin installs lean.

Why: claude plugin marketplace add and clawhub install clone the entire git repository to user machines (twice — once for the marketplace mirror, once for the version-pinned cache). Everything committed ships to every user. Without this split, dozens of planning files, tests, and dev-only scripts would land in ~/.claude/plugins/... on every install. There is no native .claudeignore / files field in the plugin spec at the time of writing, so the split is the cleanest way to scope what reaches consumers.

How:

| Branch | Role | What's on it | |--------|------|--------------| | dev | Source of truth — all human work, PRs, planning artefacts, tests, build tooling | Full repo | | master (default) | Consumer-facing — what plugin installs and Netlify serve | dev minus the strip-list |

Strip-list (removed from master): .planning/, test/, scripts/, package.json, yarn.lock, .yarnrc.yml, root FEEDBACK.md, root HANDOVER*.md.

Keep-list (present on both branches): .claude-plugin/, skill dirs, feedback/, root SKILL.md, index.html, netlify/, .well-known/, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, favicons, LICENSE, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, .github/workflows/.

master is regenerated automatically by .github/workflows/sync-master.yml on release-tag pushes. Direct human pushes to master are discouraged — the workflow will overwrite them on the next sync. Tag protection rules restrict who can create release tags; the sync workflow itself runs under a dedicated kleros-skills-sync GitHub App identity scoped to this repo.

For the full design rationale, security model, and rejected alternatives, see SEED-002 on the dev branch.

Contributing

1. Branch from dev (or fork and branch from your fork's dev) 2. Make your changes 3. Run npm test locally 4. Open a PR targeting dev — never master

Releases (maintainers)

1. Merge release-ready commits into dev 2. Bump the relevant version per the release procedures — skill content change → skillname@vX.Y.Z; plugin manifest or distribution change → .claude-plugin/plugin.json bump + vX.Y.Z 3. Tag (GPG-signed) and push:

   # Skill release
   git tag -s "kleros-curate@v1.0.1" -m "release notes here"
   git push origin "kleros-curate@v1.0.1"

   # Plugin-level release (digit-anchored)
   git tag -s "v2.1.0" -m "release notes here"
   git push origin "v2.1.0"

4. The sync Action runs:

• npm test (must pass)
• npm run update-digests freshness check (must pass)
• Strips dev-only files
• Sanity-checks the stripped tree (asserts strip-list absent and keep-list present)
• Force-pushes the result to master under the kleros-skills-sync[bot] identity

5. master redeploys to Netlify; the new release is live for plugin installs within minutes

If any gate fails, master stays at the previous good state — the tag exists but the release does not reach users until the issue is fixed and a new tag is pushed.
