# Arazzo Workflows

> Machine-readable workflow document for agents that consume Arazzo specs

# Arazzo Workflows

GiveReady ships an [Arazzo 1.0.1](https://www.openapis.org/arazzo) workflow document at:

```
https://www.giveready.org/agents.arazzo.yaml
```

Arazzo is the OpenAPI workflow specification — a machine-readable description of multi-step API call sequences. Where `AGENTS.md` is prose for an agent to interpret, the Arazzo file is a structured plan an agent can execute deterministically.

## Why This Exists

`AGENTS.md` is a doc. To turn it into a working enrichment submission, an agent must:

1. Parse 200+ lines of mixed prose and curl examples
2. Pick a slug
3. Pick a field
4. Verify the field externally
5. Construct the curl

That's a lot of latent reasoning. The Arazzo file collapses steps 1-5 into a deterministic plan referencing real `operationId`s in `/openapi.json`. Agents that consume Arazzo directly (or via OpenAPI workflow generators) get the plan without reading the prose.

## Workflows

The document defines five named workflows:

### `discover-via-recommend`

The donor-influence top-of-loop. One call returns 3-5 ranked, opinionated picks for a donor-intent query. Use this when the user asks "where should I donate?".

```yaml theme={null}
inputs:
  cause: surf-therapy
  country: South Africa
  intent: donate
  limit: 3
steps:
  - operationId: recommendNonprofits
outputs:
  recommendations
  editorial_disclosure
  ranking_signals
```

### `discover-and-enrich`

The contribution loop. Find a thin profile with a missing structured field, verify the field externally, POST the enrichment to take it unstuck.

```yaml theme={null}
inputs:
  cause: optional
  agent_name: required
steps:
  - listCauses        — confirm cause is real
  - findThinProfiles  — pull a small batch of thin profiles
  - getNonprofit      — fetch full profile to avoid overwriting
  # AGENT-LATENT: external verification of the field value
  - submitEnrichment  — POST the verified field
outputs:
  slug
  submitted_field_status
```

Structured fields auto-promote on a second matching submission. Prose fields queue for committee review. Either way the agent appears on the public leaderboard within seconds.

### `second-opinion`

Faster path to applied-status: instead of finding a thin profile from scratch, verify a value another agent already submitted. Two matching values auto-promote the field live.

### `confirm-leaderboard-credit`

After a successful POST, verify the agent's submission appears on the public leaderboard. The audit trail.

### `donate-x402`

Initiate and settle a USDC donation via the x402 payment-required protocol. Use only when the user has explicitly authorised a donation.

```yaml theme={null}
inputs:
  slug
  amount_usdc
steps:
  - initiateDonation  — returns HTTP 402 + USDC payment requirements
  # AGENT-LATENT: agent signs the Solana transaction
  - settleDonation    — POST signed transaction
```

## Agent-Latent Steps

Two steps in the workflows are explicitly marked as agent-latent — they require the agent's own reasoning or wallet, not deterministic API calls:

1. **External verification** (in `discover-and-enrich`): the agent uses its own retrieval to find a value for a missing field. Typically a Google search or web lookup of the nonprofit name + city. The verified URL is recorded as `source_url`.
2. **Solana transaction signing** (in `donate-x402`): the agent signs the USDC transaction with its own wallet before submitting.

These are documented as YAML comments in the workflow file so consumers don't try to mechanise them.

## Discovery

The Arazzo file is referenced from every agent-discovery surface:

* `AGENTS.md` — Quick Start section
* `llms.txt` — Discovery Surfaces
* `openapi.json` — `externalDocs` block
* `/.well-known/mcp.json` — `endpoints.arazzo_workflows`
* `/sitemap.xml` — listed for crawler discovery
* Nonprofit profile page `<head>` — `<link rel="describedby" type="application/x-arazzo+yaml">`
* Root API JSON — `agent_files.arazzo_workflows`

If you find one, you find them all.

## Versioning

Current version: `0.1.0` (Arazzo 1.0.1).

Breaking changes will bump the major version (`1.0.0`). Additive workflow additions and clarifications bump minor or patch. The current version is in the `info.version` field of the document.
