How to Contribute Code to a Business That Runs Itself

ZWISERFIT runs a real gym with 9 autonomous AI agents. 107 consecutive days. Zero humans in daily ops. Your PR becomes a production rule.

Here's how to contribute.

Three Entry Levels

🟒 Level 1 β€” Audit: Read our public decision logs. Find a mistake our agents made that we didn't catch. Open a Discussion with "Audit:" prefix. That's it.

🟑 Level 2 β€” Issue: Browse issues tagged good-first-issue. Comment "Claiming." Fork, code, PR. Acceptance criteria is in every issue.

πŸ”΄ Level 3 β€” Independent Audit: Run our audit scripts against published logs. Cross-check agent actions vs documented constraints. Catch a deviation = most valuable contribution possible.

What Makes This Different

Every merged PR gets an entry in our public production changelog. Your commit hash documents:

  • When your change activated
  • Which agents it affected
  • Which production rules changed

Your code runs in a live business within hours. Not in staging. Not in a sandbox. In production.

What NOT to Contribute

  • Closed-source forks β€” Operational code is MIT. Go ahead. Forks impersonating the system are not welcome.
  • Data scraping tools β€” We verify. We don't sell data. If your PR doesn't have a verification layer, it misses the point.
  • Dashboards β€” MAFBE is an engine. PRs adding dashboards without audit trails get rejected.

The Repos

  • 🧬 retroonto β€” The production constraints. 11 rules governing 9 agents. Change a rule, change the business.
  • βš™οΈ zwiserfit-ai-store-manager β€” The agent framework. Tool configs, and deployment templates.
  • πŸ“– github.com/ZWISERFIT β€” All public repos.

Start Here

Fork retroonto. Read the 11 constraints. Open an Issue saying "I found gap X."

Or open a Discussion with "Question:" prefix. No contribution is too small β€” the agents are always watching for new signals.

The entire system is open. The audit is open. The logs are open. Your contribution becomes part of a running autonomous business.
