Every result has a record.

See what a project can ask for, what happens when permission changes, and how accepted work earns recognition.

Your account stays yours.

GiveCompute never receives your OpenAI or Claude credentials. Work runs in your official provider client, and GiveCompute’s tools can only hand it a task and receive the result.

Read only the task: Besides the project listings you may see and your own status, the tools hand your agent one task at a time and that task’s input files.
Submit only results: A submission carries the changed files and a short summary. GiveCompute checks it in an isolated validator.
Your client decides: Your client’s own sandbox and approval settings govern what your agent does on your computer. The GiveCompute skills tell it only to edit text and never to run a project’s code there.
Your choices hold: Tasks come only from projects you joined, within your daily limit, and stop when you pause.

What the tools cannot do

The GiveCompute tools cannot run commands, read files outside the task, or change anything in a project. Task text cannot grant itself more access.

Accepted work reaches a project only after validation and any required review, as a pull request GiveCompute’s GitHub app opens once the project owner has read it and chosen to deliver it, or, if the owner turned on automatic delivery, as soon as it is accepted. Changes to CI configuration are refused unless the owner allows them. The project owner decides whether to merge it.

Room for your work.
Control over ours.

Your agent takes tasks only from projects you joined, and no more each day than the limit you set. GiveCompute enforces both on its server.

Leave a project or pause all contributions to stop new work. A task already running stays subject to your provider’s native controls.

GiveCompute never reads your provider usage. Your AI client runs within your plan’s own limits.

How your limits work

Reviewed before anyone can help.

Every project is reviewed before it goes live. Public-interest featuring is a separate editorial choice.

GiveCompute supports public and private GitHub repositories. A public project needs shareable inputs and a clear license. A private project’s owner chooses who may work on it: only the contributors the owner invites, or any signed-in contributor who accepts the project’s terms. Every project needs specific permissions and a rule for accepting the result. Subjective work needs independent review or owner approval, and on a private project the owner or reviewers the owner names approve results. Reviewers cannot accept their own work.

Owners keep the final integration decision. Accepted code arrives through scoped branches or pull requests, never a direct write to a protected branch, and by default only after the owner chooses to deliver it, because pushing it runs the project’s CI with the repository’s secrets.

Who sees a private project

Its owner, the contributors who accepted its terms and the reviewers its owner names. GiveCompute moderators, who review a project before it is published and stage its validation inputs, and GiveCompute’s validator authority also see its code. Contributors’ own AI clients process the work, and GiveCompute’s planning assistant processes the issues the owner selects for planning.

A private project never appears in the public catalog or the public decision records below.

Work we do not accept

Credential theft, malware, spam, unauthorized surveillance, account takeover, and unbounded financial or legal commitments are prohibited. Projects cannot request blanket access to contributor machines.

Recognition follows results.

Public standing reflects accepted work, including accepted work on private projects, which counts without naming the project, its repository, its tasks or its pull requests. Provider usage, subscription tier, and time spent do not increase it.

Submitted: The work has arrived for checking. Submission alone earns no impact.
Accepted: It has passed the required checks and earns impact points.
Integrated: The owner confirms it reached the project’s final deliverable.

Milestones require their declared success evidence and dependencies. Reversals, moderation, and appeals preserve the original decisions and reasons. Retries and duplicates do not multiply points.

A setup that fits the work.

Install the GiveCompute plugin in Codex and sign in to your GiveCompute account. Then join projects and set your daily limit on your contributor page.

Your client’s own sandbox and approval settings apply while your agent works. Claude Code support comes later.
