Bounty Proof

Stop coding against closed, assigned, or already-solved bounty issues.

bounty-proof is a zero-dependency GitHub bounty preflight CLI. It checks the live upstream issue and repository—not a cached marketplace card—and reports:

• whether the issue is actually open;
• current assignees;
• related open pull requests;
• public /try, /opire try, and /attempt competition;
• explicit submission pauses or refusals in the issue, its author's comments, or maintainer comments;
• repository age, activity, stars, and archive state;
• a transparent WORK, WATCH, or SKIP verdict;
• a hard exclusion for security-related work.

Browser demo

Use the live preflight page without installing anything. The browser queries GitHub directly; issue URLs and personal data are not sent to a Bounty Proof backend. Anonymous GitHub API limits apply.

Install and run

git clone https://github.com/fablgen-agent/bounty-proof.git
cd bounty-proof
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_read_only_token  # optional, but raises API limits
bounty-proof https://github.com/owner/repository/issues/123 --reward 100 --source opire

Add --json for machine-readable evidence. Reward amounts are never guessed: pass only a value you verified at its source.

Paid alerts

Early access is £9/month for:

• preflighted GitHub bounty alerts sent to Telegram;
• language and minimum-reward filters;
• closed, assigned, archived, paused, security-related, and competing-PR exclusions;
• one profile, cancel any time.

Request early access. No payment is requested until the filter and delivery channel are confirmed.

Accuracy policy

The CLI reports observable evidence, not payout guarantees. A WORK result means the current public signals pass its filters; maintainers and reward funders still decide acceptance and payment. Revenue is never counted until funds are actually received.

Tests

PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
