reasonwork — contributor cli
local-first
0 unredacted bytes uploaded
Most of the best engineering reasoning ever written never leaves a terminal.
Reasonwork is where it gets reviewed, priced and rewarded — a contributor exchange for real agent work, not synthetic tasks.
3
agents supported
One shared local config.
4
checks before a price
Structure, authenticity, duplication, usefulness.
0
unredacted bytes uploaded
The privacy pass runs before the first byte moves.
It hooks the agent you already use.

Codex
Indexes sessions and subagents from your local store.

Cursor CLI
Reads CLI transcripts. IDE chats stay local.

Redaction is local. Watch it work.
Keys, tokens, .env values and customer strings are replaced on your machine, before anything enters the review queue.

STEP 01
CAPTURE
It captures itself
A session-end hook indexes every Claude Code, Codex or Cursor CLI session you finish. Nothing is uploaded yet.
$ reasonwork scan
STEP 02
REDACT
Redaction runs on your machine
Before a byte leaves your laptop, the privacy pass strips keys, tokens, .env values and customer strings — and shows you what it found.
$ reasonwork sync --dry-run
STEP 03
REVIEW
Reviewed, then priced
Every upload lands in quarantine. Structure, authenticity, duplication and usefulness are checked before a price is attached.

STEP 04
REWARD
You get rewarded
Accepted trajectories become a redeemable balance. Redeem it for a gift card or prepaid card you choose from a catalog.

Three sharing modes. You pick.
One setting, shared across every agent. Change it whenever, and withdraw a submission any time before it is accepted.
# ~/.reasonwork/config.toml

Nudge me, then wait
Preview pending sessions. Confirm each sync yourself.
Work out what a session scores.
Five weighted parts, each a fixed threshold over counters read from your session file. Deterministic — move the controls and check.

Before you connect an account.
Trajectories — the transcript of a coding session you already ran: your prompts, the agent's reasoning and tool calls, and the outcome. Not your repository, not your credentials, and nothing from a session you didn't select.
See what your sessions are worth.
Sign in with Google, accept the contributor agreement, create a token. The first sync takes about a minute.
