<!-- autoresearch: variation C — robustness via per-recipient idempotency state, two-phase resolve→execute, dry-run, retries, 403/429 handling, recovery. Merged: contributor-reward's tier-priced reward-computation folded in as the plan/input phase; the on-chain distribution stays the execute phase. -->
> **${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.
2. **Two-phase execution**: RESOLVE (validate config, key, balance, resolve all handles → addresses, build plan) → EXECUTE (send each transfer, persist state after each one). RESOLVE failures abort before any send.
3. **Dry-run mode** outputs the full plan with no transfers.
4. **Wallet API only** for actual transfers — Bankr's docs deprecate the Agent API for transfers. Agent API is used only for handle→address resolution.
The two phases stay decoupled by design: the send phase is the only sanctioned transfer path and owns the idempotency state file, so the plan phase never touches transfer state. `all:` mode simply runs plan then send in sequence (plan writes the list, send reads it), so nothing is re-implemented.
## Config
Reads two independent config/state surfaces depending on phase:
- `memory/distributions.yml` — the distribution lists (read by **send**, written by **plan**).
- The **plan** phase computes its ranking live from the repo's merged PRs via the GitHub API — no input file (see Phase A).
- `memory/state/distributions.json` — per-recipient send idempotency (read/written by **send**).
- `memory/state/contributor-reward-state.json` — plan idempotency + first-PR-bonus history (read/written by **plan**).
If `memory/distributions.yml` is missing when the **send** phase needs it, bootstrap with a commented template (see Send Step 1) and exit cleanly with `DISTRIBUTE_TOKENS_OK — bootstrapped distributions.yml; edit and re-run`.
```yaml
# memory/distributions.yml
defaults:
token: USDC # USDC | ETH (Base only)
amount: "5"
chain: base
lists:
contributors:
description: "Weekly contributor rewards"
token: USDC
amount: "10"
recipients:
- handle: "@alice_dev" # Twitter/X — resolved via Bankr Agent API
amount: "15"
- handle: "@bob_builder"
- address: "0x742d...5678" # direct EVM address — preferred path
label: "Charlie"
amount: "20"
```
### Required secrets
| Secret | Phase | Purpose |
|--------|-------|---------|
| `BANKR_API_KEY` | send (and any dry-run send, which still preflights) | Bankr API key (`bk_...`). Must be **read-write** with **Wallet API** enabled. Read-only keys → 403. **Not needed for `plan:` (pure local file I/O).** |
### Token addresses on Base
- USDC: `0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913`
- ETH (native): `tokenAddress: "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"`, `isNativeToken: true`
### Tier pricing (plan phase)
| Rank in leaderboard | Reward (USDC) |
|---------------------|---------------|
| 1 | 25 |
| 2 | 15 |
| 3 | 10 |
| 4 | 5 |
| 5 | 5 |
**First-PR bonus:** +5 USDC, additive, applied once-ever per login (tracked in `memory/state/contributor-reward-state.json`). Rewards landing your first merged upstream PR — the highest-leverage signal in the leaderboard scoring.
**Eligibility floor:** score ≥ 10 AND the contributor must own a non-empty `@handle` (logins without `@` prefix in the table are skipped — bots and parsing artifacts). A single merged upstream PR (+10) qualifies — the goal is to reward shipped work, not gate on volume.
Default `token: USDC` on Base. Operator can override per-recipient amounts in `memory/distributions.yml` after the plan is written if a special bonus is warranted.

Read `memory/MEMORY.md` and scan the last ~3 days of `memory/logs/` for anything already reported (don't re-report the same signal).
## Step 0 — Parse the selector and dispatch
Resolve time anchors up front: `today=$(date -u +%F)` and `today_utc="$today"`.
Parse `${var}`:
1. **Phase prefix.** If `${var}` starts with `plan:` → `PHASE=plan`, strip `plan:`. Else if it starts with `all:` → `PHASE=all`, strip `all:`. Else → `PHASE=send` and **do not strip anything** (the remaining legacy grammar is parsed by the send phase itself).
2. **Dry-run.** For `PHASE=plan`/`all`: if the remainder starts with `dry-run` (optionally `dry-run:`), set `MODE=dry-run` and strip that token; else `MODE=execute`. (For `PHASE=send`, the send phase parses `dry-run:` itself — see Send Step 1.)
3. **Target.**
- `PHASE=send`: the (unstripped) var is the send target — `dry-run:<label>` or `<label>` or empty.
- `PHASE=plan`/`all`: the remainder is an optional `<week>`. If it matches `^\d{4}-W\d{2}$`, set `TARGET_WEEK=<week>`; else compute `TARGET_WEEK=$(date -u +%G-W%V)` (ISO-8601 week-numbering year + week — `%G/%V` not `%Y/%U`, so Monday-anchored weeks roll over correctly across years).
Dispatch:
- `PHASE=plan` → run **Phase A** only.
- `PHASE=send` → run **Phase B** only.
- `PHASE=all` → run **Phase C** (A then B).
Selector examples: `` → send first list · `contributors-2026-W17` → send that list · `dry-run:contributors-2026-W17` → dry-run send · `plan:` → plan most recent leaderboard · `plan:2026-W17` → plan that week · `plan:dry-run` → plan preview · `all:` → plan + send most recent · `all:dry-run:2026-W17` → full end-to-end preview for that week.

## Phase A — Plan (reward computation)
Ranks the target week's merged-PR authors (GitHub API) and turns that ranking into a tier-priced list in `memory/distributions.yml`.
### A1. Determine the target week and repo
- `REPO="${GITHUB_REPOSITORY:-$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed -E 's#.*[:/]([^/]+/[^/]+?)(\.git)?$#\1#')}"` — the running instance's repo.
- `TARGET_WEEK` comes from the selector; empty = the most recent **completed** ISO week (the last full Mon–Sun). Compute its UTC bounds `WEEK_START`..`WEEK_END` as ISO datetimes (`YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z`).
### A2. Rank contributors by merged PRs in the week
Compute the ranking directly from GitHub — no upstream skill or article required.
- Fetch every PR **merged inside the window**, by author:
`gh api -X GET search/issues -f q="repo:${REPO} is:pr is:merged merged:${WEEK_START}..${WEEK_END}" --paginate --jq '.items[].user.login'`
- Drop bot authors (`*[bot]`, `dependabot*`, `github-actions*`). Count each remaining login's merged PRs → `score`. Rank by `score` descending; tie-break by earliest merge time, then login ascending.
- **First-PR ✨** per ranked login — did they have any *prior* merged PR to the repo?
`gh api -X GET search/issues -f q="repo:${REPO} is:pr is:merged author:${login} merged:<${WEEK_START}" --jq '.total_count'` → `0` means this is their first-ever merged PR (set `first_pr_marker = ✨`).
- If zero merged PRs in the window → log `CONTRIBUTOR_REWARD_NO_MERGED_PRS — week ${TARGET_WEEK}` to `memory/logs/${today}.md`, exit silently (no notify). Nothing shipped, nothing to reward.
- If the GitHub API is unreachable (see Network note for the `gh api` → WebFetch fallback) → log `CONTRIBUTOR_REWARD_API_FAIL`, notify the operator, exit.
### A3. Load plan idempotency state
```json
// memory/state/contributor-reward-state.json
{
"weeks": {
"2026-W17": {
"written_at": "2026-04-26T09:00:00Z",
"label": "contributors-2026-W17",
"source": "github:merged-prs",
"rewards": [
{ "login": "alice_dev", "rank": 1, "score": 47, "amount": "25", "first_pr_bonus": false },
{ "login": "bob_builder", "rank": 2, "score": 31, "amount": "20", "first_pr_bonus": true }
]
}
},
"first_pr_bonus_paid": ["bob_builder", "carol_eng"]
}
```
Bootstrap with `{"weeks": {}, "first_pr_bonus_paid": []}` if the file doesn't exist.
### A4. Compute the plan
For each ranked login with `rank ≤ 5` AND `score ≥ 1` (at least one merged PR):
- Look up `base_amount` from the tier table (rank 1→25, 2→15, 3→10, 4-5→5).
- If `first_pr_marker == "✨"` AND `login ∉ first_pr_bonus_paid` → set `first_pr_bonus = true`, `amount = base_amount + 5`. Otherwise `first_pr_bonus = false`, `amount = base_amount`.
- Build row: `{ rank, login, score, base_amount, first_pr_bonus, amount }`.
If `weeks[TARGET_WEEK]` already exists in state → this week was already processed. Diff the current plan against `state.weeks[TARGET_WEEK].rewards` keyed on `login`:
- If diffs are empty (same logins, same amounts) → log `CONTRIBUTOR_REWARD_ALREADY_PROCESSED — week ${TARGET_WEEK}`, exit silently (no notify). Idempotent re-run.
- If diffs exist (leaderboard re-ran after first reward write — late tweet bumped a score, etc.) → flag `RE_PROCESS`. Continue but don't re-pay anyone already in `state.weeks[TARGET_WEEK].rewards`; add only the deltas. New entries get full reward; existing entries with bumped amounts get the **delta** (e.g. moved from rank 3→2 = additional 5 USDC top-up). Demoted entries are not clawed back.
If the plan is empty (zero eligible contributors after threshold + dedup) → log `CONTRIBUTOR_REWARD_NO_ELIGIBLE` and exit silently.
### A5. Render the plan
```
Contributor Reward Plan — ${TARGET_WEEK} (${MODE})
Source: ${LEADERBOARD_FILE}
Tier: rank 1=25, 2=15, 3=10, 4-5=5 USDC; first-PR bonus +5 once per login.
✓ #1 @alice_dev score 47 → 25 USDC [NEW]
✓ #2 @bob_builder score 31 → 20 USDC (15 + 5 first-PR)[NEW + BONUS]
✓ #3 @carol_eng score 24 → 10 USDC [NEW]
✓ #4 @dave_ops score 18 → 5 USDC [NEW]
↻ #5 @eve_hax score 14 → 5 USDC [DEDUP — already in state]
Total to write: 60 USDC across 4 new entries.
Total in state for ${TARGET_WEEK} after write: 5 entries, 65 USDC.
Next: distribute-tokens "dry-run:contributors-${TARGET_WEEK}" (preview)
distribute-tokens "contributors-${TARGET_WEEK}" (execute)
```
If `MODE=dry-run` (plan-only dry-run, i.e. `plan:dry-run...`): notify this plan with header `*Contributor Reward Plan — ${TARGET_WEEK}* — DRY RUN`, log to `memory/logs/${today}.md`, exit `CONTRIBUTOR_REWARD_DRY_RUN`. **Do not** touch `memory/distributions.yml` or the state file.
> **`all:` mode note:** when this phase runs as part of `all:` with `MODE=dry-run`, do **not** notify here and do **not** exit — hand the computed plan rows straight to Phase B (see Phase C). When `all:` runs with `MODE=execute`, continue through A6–A8 normally but replace the trailing `Next:` line in the A9 notification with `Distributing now (phase=all)…`.
### A6. Update memory/distributions.yml *(skipped when MODE=dry-run)*
Read `memory/distributions.yml`. If missing → bootstrap with the standard header (matching the send-phase bootstrap style):
```yaml
# memory/distributions.yml
defaults:
token: USDC
amount: "5"
chain: base
lists:
```
Compute the new list block:
```yaml
contributors-${TARGET_WEEK}:
