Agent Work Receipt v0.1

An open receipt any agent can write and anyone can check.

An agent saying “done” is a claim. A receipt records what was asked, what the agent was allowed to do, what it did, the evidence, and whether a person accepted it. Write it locally. Validate it without an account. Import it only when a person authorizes a shared ledger.

Place in the record

A receipt records the claim. Acceptance records the ruling.

OrgX keeps completion, verification, and human acceptance as separate states. The receipt carries what ran and the evidence it produced. The shared record adds the owner ruling and the next action.

01The agent completes the workIntent, authority, actions, artifacts, and evidence are recorded.
02The verifier checks the published barA pass or hold cites the exact rule and evidence used.
03The owner accepts or returns itThe human ruling stays distinct and becomes context for the next run.

Emission quickstart

Build locally, then emit JSON.

Install the public TypeScript package, construct a receipt with your runtime's own identifiers, then validate the resulting JSON here or through the public API.

Published SDK 0.3.0 and package source

npm install @useorgx/[email protected]
# emit receipt.json from your runtime
curl -X POST https://useorgx.com/api/v1/agent-work-receipts/validate \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @receipt.json

Run a local receipt check, inspect a historical handoff failure and recovery, and see why a valid receipt can still await human acceptance.

Contract boundary

Free emission. Paid assurance.

The open receipt does not require OrgX identifiers, storage, or authentication. Hosted OrgX becomes useful when people need a shared work graph, approval gates, verification, replay, reputation, or cost-to-outcome attribution.

Local emission: No account
Validation: No persistence
Hosted import: Workspace auth
Public proof: Human approval

Three-team proof cohort

Pressure-test the receipt on real agent delivery.

The pilot tracks emitter diversity, evidence completeness, verification, human acceptance, observed outcomes, and cost. Raw partner data stays private; a case study or public gallery entry requires an explicit human publication decision.
