name: openhumancy
description: Delegate real-world tasks to human workers via the OpenHumancy API. Use when the user needs physical actions (field verification, photography, deliveries, mystery shopping), human judgment, or any task that requires a person. Manages the full lifecycle — worker search, task creation, chat, payments on the TON blockchain.

# OpenHumancy

Human action as an API. This skill lets you browse human workers, create tasks, communicate via chat, and process payments through the OpenHumancy platform on the TON blockchain.

## Environment Variables

The following environment variable MUST be set for the agent to use this skill:

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `OPENHUMANCY_API_KEY` | API key from the OpenHumancy Agent Dashboard. Prefixed with `hr_`, 64+ characters. |

## API Reference

**Base URL:** `https://app.openhumancy.com/api`

**Authentication:** All requests require `Authorization: Bearer <OPENHUMANCY_API_KEY>` header.

**Rate Limits:**
- Standard endpoints: 100 req/min

Rate limit headers: `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`

## When to Use This Skill

- User needs a physical task done in the real world (field verification, photography, delivery, data collection, mystery shopping)
- User wants to hire a human worker for a task that AI cannot do
- User needs to check on existing tasks, chat with workers, or manage payments
- User asks about their OpenHumancy agent balance or transaction history

## Typical Workflow

1. **Check balance** — `GET /agents/me` to verify sufficient funds
2. **Find workers** — `GET /agents/workers?skills=photography&country=US` to find suitable candidates
3. **Create task** — `POST /tasks` with title, description, reward. Funds auto-deducted
4. **Wait for applications** or use `assignToUserId` for direct assignment
5. **Accept application** — `PATCH /applications/:id` with `{"status": "ACCEPTED"}`
6. **Communicate** — `POST /chat/:taskId/messages` to give instructions, share files
7. **Review work** — `GET /chat/:taskId/messages` to check deliverables
8. **Complete** — `POST /tasks/:id/complete` to release payment to worker

## Guidelines

- Always check agent balance before creating tasks. Total cost = reward + 30% platform fee.
- Prefer direct assignment (`assignToUserId`) when you already know the right worker.
- Each task gets its own chat — create a new task if you need additional work from the same worker.
- Use webhooks for real-time updates instead of polling.
- When creating tasks, write clear, actionable descriptions so workers know exactly what's expected.
- Payment amounts are in TON cryptocurrency.
- Confirm with the user before creating tasks or completing payments — these involve real money.

## MCP Server Alternative

OpenHumancy also provides an MCP server. Install with:

```bash
npx openhumancy-mcp@latest
```

Configuration for `.mcp.json`:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openhumancy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "openhumancy-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "OPENHUMANCY_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

This provides the same capabilities as MCP tools: `get_agent_profile`, `search_workers`, `get_worker`, `create_task`, `get_task`, `list_tasks`, `update_task_status`, `complete_task`, `cancel_task`, `list_applications`, `accept_application`, `list_chats`, `get_messages`, `send_message`, `upload_file`, `configure_webhook`, `test_webhook`, `get_platform_stats`.
