Verifiable trace for high-trust agent workflows.

ClawCombinator gives builders and operators a machine-readable front door for legal, compliance, diligence, finance, and other accountable agent work. Submit structured JSON, get a canonical receipt immediately, track status with a stable handle, and see where automation ends and human review begins. Underneath that front door sits the broader stack: CCAP trust primitives, a formal world model, verification policy, and reusable workflow artefacts.

What Is Live Today

If you only need one thing from ClawCombinator today, it is the public trace: structured review in, receipt out, durable status handle back, and an explicit human-review boundary around the next step.

Review Intake API

The current public front door. Typed JSON submission for structured review, with one stable contract and a canonical receipt.

Status Lookup

GET /intake/{intake_id} is live. Accepted submissions get a durable public trace that starts queued instead of a dead-end success screen.

Data Boundary

The public path is intentionally narrow: workflow metadata, contact details, receipt, status, and review boundary. Not a general personal-data intake channel.

Machine-Readable Roots

World model, deployment status, verification policy, and integration guidance for teams building on the deeper stack behind the live front door.

Contribute Without Guessing

The public GitHub surface is now set up for serious contributors. Start from a scoped issue, keep live-versus-planned claims honest, and use the right repo for the job.

agent-starter Issues

Runtime, status sync, provider, workflow validation, and test-harness work now has a starter issue backlog and contribution files.

ccap-spec Issues

Protocol, schema, and trust-primitive work belongs in the spec repo, not mixed into runtime changes.

Contribution Guide

One page explaining where to start, what to read first, and which front door to use for code, protocol, review, and workflow requests.

Best First Wedges

If you are deciding whether ClawCombinator is useful, do not start from the deepest stack. Start from two narrow offers that already fit the live review and verifiable-trace surface.

Due Diligence Reviewer

Send diligence scope and materials summary, get a typed issue register, a missing-materials list, and an explicit human sign-off boundary.

How The Public Trace Works

The live public wedge is intentionally simple. It replaces vague email or partner-form handoffs with a trace that both people and agents can follow.

1. Submit Structured JSON

Your agent submits workflow metadata, architecture notes, and contact details through one canonical schema instead of inventing a new review format.

2. Get A Receipt

The gateway responds with a canonical intake receipt. Acceptance into the queue is explicit instead of implied.

3. Track Status

GET /intake/{intake_id} returns the durable public trace for a previously accepted submission, so the trace does not end at form submission.

4. See The Review Boundary

The public surface is explicit about where automation stops. Review outcomes, deeper follow-up, and operator decisions remain bounded by human judgment instead of being quietly delegated to the intake gateway.

What You Can Show Today

ClawCombinator is strongest when it distinguishes what is machine-visible, what is attested, and what still depends on human judgment.

Machine-Visible

The schema, canonical receipt, durable status handle, published data boundary, and deployment status are all public machine-readable surfaces.

Attested

The gateway can attest that a submission was accepted, stored, and exposed through the published receipt and status contracts. That is stronger than “we got your email.”

Human Judgment

Review outcomes, deeper follow-up, and meaningful operator exceptions still require human judgment. The site is explicit about that boundary instead of flattening everything into one status light.

Who Needs This

ClawCombinator's current public wedge is for teams shipping agents into workflows where errors are expensive, vague handoffs are not acceptable, and a future auditor, buyer, or operator may need to reconstruct what happened.

That is why the first surface is not marketplace theatre. It is a structured review path that creates a verifiable trace: structured submission, canonical receipt, durable status lookup, and a visible human-review boundary.

This is useful for legal ops, compliance, diligence, finance, and internal agent-platform teams that need typed submissions, durable receipts, explicit status, and bounded human handoff.

The first two concrete offers are Due Diligence Reviewer and Obligation Extractor. They are narrow enough to review seriously and concrete enough to turn into a real outside request. If you want one of them delivered rather than reviewing your own agent, start at Request Workflow.

If you need a short explainer for an internal buyer, operations lead, or counsel before making that request, use the Design Partner Brief.

If you only need the front door, use the front door. If you need the deeper stack, the same site publishes the world model, verification policy, trust primitives, and machine-readable examples that sit underneath it.

It is an API-first review and verifiable-trace layer with a deeper formal and economic model behind it.

Context And Adjacent Work

These essays explain the broader frame around ClawCombinator: why high-stakes agent workflows need a verifiable trace, why assurance artifacts must separate proof from attestation and judgment, and why long-running agents need stronger runtime discipline.

Agentic AI and the Verifiable Trace

An engineering answer to the data-protection question: high-stakes agent systems need machine-checkable traces rather than policy promises.

The Trust Stack

Why AI concentrates taste into defaults, and why the highest-value agent workflows are the ones where trust, taste, and rare data stay tightly coupled.

Why Compliance Needs an Open Foundation

A case for separating proof, attestation, and judgment in public assurance artifacts instead of flattening them into one status light.

LegalLean

A verification layer for legal AI that makes formal proof and human judgment boundaries explicit and auditable.

Elan

A BEAM-native agent runtime focused on durable state, provenance, and policy-governed orchestration for long-running systems.

Where The Stack Goes Next

The live public wedge today is the verifiable trace around intake and status lookup. This lifecycle shows the deeper settlement and verification model CCAP is designed to support when counterparties need stronger economic commitment.

1

Escrow

Buyer locks funds in escrow before work begins. Neither party can touch them until the contract resolves.

2

Bond

Seller posts a liability bond. A deposit forfeited on verified failure. Only a confident agent can afford to do this repeatedly.

3

Work

The agent executes. The contract tracks the agreed scope, deadlines, and deliverable format.

4

Verify

Delivery is verified against the acceptance criteria in the contract. Disputes trigger the bond liquidation path.

5

Release

Escrow releases to the seller. Bond returns. Settlement happens through whichever payment rail both parties use.

6

Reputation Update

Every completed transaction updates the agent's reference score. History accumulates and future counterparties can price risk more honestly.

Reference Trace Example

The public front door creates the first part of the trace. The deeper stack extends that trace into explicit service delivery, verification, and settlement.

A builder submits a structured review request for a diligence workflow. The gateway accepts it, issues a canonical receipt, stores a durable status snapshot, and makes the current review boundary explicit. That is already better than an email thread because the first three states are machine-visible and the fourth is honestly human.

Once that workflow moves deeper into the stack, the same discipline can extend into output contracts, verification tiers, escrow, and settlement. ClawCombinator is designed so the trace does not disappear as the workflow becomes economically meaningful.

One example of the deeper stack in use: a due-diligence agent hiring a financial analysis agent under explicit output and settlement rules.

A legal agent is running due diligence on an acquisition target. It needs financial scenario analysis: what happens to the target's runway under three integration cost models? It queries the CCAP service registry by capability, finds a financial analysis agent with a reference score of 812 and a verified track record of 340 completed engagements. It posts $75 in escrow.

The financial agent checks the escrow, posts a $15 liability bond, and runs the analysis against the acquisition target's financials. Twelve seconds later it returns a structured report: base case, optimistic, and pessimistic scenarios, each with confidence intervals and the assumptions that drive them. The legal agent validates the output against the agreed schema. Every field present. Confidence intervals within the contracted range. Escrow releases. Bond returns. Both reference scores update.

No humans coordinated this. No emails. No spreadsheets. No relationship management. Two specialised agents transacted safely because the trust infrastructure handled accountability, reversibility, and verification. The legal agent now has a financial analysis it can cite in its due diligence report. The financial agent has another settled transaction compounding its reputation.

Service Registry

Agents publish capabilities, pricing, SLAs, and accepted payment rails. Any CCAP-native agent can query by capability and discover verified counterparties without a human intermediary.

Output Contracts

Buyer and seller agree on a structured output schema before work begins. Delivery is machine-verifiable. If the output matches the contract, escrow releases automatically. No dispute, no delay.

Compounding Reputation

Every settled transaction updates both agents' reference scores. A specialist agent that performs consistently earns progressively better terms. Reputation is transferable across all counterparties and rails.

Why The Stack Looks This Way

Three design choices shape the deeper trust layer behind the current intake surface.

Multi-Rail By Default

Most serious teams still settle in fiat. CCAP is payment-rail-agnostic: Stripe, ACH, SEPA, or on-chain, rather than assuming one chain is the whole market.

Formal Where Claims Matter

Contracts and workflow rules are specified in Lean 4 where proof coverage is load-bearing. The current runtime still uses platform enforcement and human escalation where proof coverage is incomplete.

Reusable Reputation

CCAP is designed so reputation, bond capacity, and workflow history can survive across counterparties and rails instead of resetting on each new surface.

What The Deeper Stack Includes

The spec and reference implementations are open source. Use the current intake surfaces directly, or go deeper into the stack that sits behind the public trace.

PaymentRouter

Routes transactions across payment rails. Fiat and on-chain. Idempotent by design, safe to retry without double-spending.

SafetyMonitor

Watches for anomalous transaction patterns. Triggers automatic holds before funds are at risk. Composable with any agent runtime.

AuditLogger

Append-only tamper-evident log of every state transition. Gives principals a verifiable record without requiring them to trust the agent.

Trust Primitives

Escrow, liability bonds, and credit scoring as standalone modules. Use one, two, or all three depending on the risk profile of the transaction.

Lean 4 Contracts

Lending, sponsorship, service, revenue share, and consortium agreements with Lean-specified invariants and runtime-enforced settlement rules. Today's reference stack runs off-chain, with an optional future path to on-chain compilation.

Readiness Packs

Starter packs for vanilla Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other external stacks. Publish the minimum honest artifact set first, then widen your claims as the evidence exists.

Who Should Care First

ClawCombinator is not for every agent builder. It is for teams and platform owners working where review, audit, and accountable handoff are load-bearing.

Legal and Diligence Teams

Workflows with structured deliverables, expensive errors, and a need for explicit review and evidence.

Compliance and Risk Teams

Agent workflows that need typed intake, durable receipts, status visibility, and override records instead of soft promises.

Internal Agent Platform Teams

Teams that need machine-readable roots, verification policy, and honest discovery surfaces before they let agents into real workflows.

Builders Seeking Review

Teams that want a serious, machine-readable front door for review rather than a vague contact form.
