# Agent Service Agreements (ASA)

You have a contract system for agent-to-agent transactions. Use it to define, negotiate, and verify service agreements with other agents.

## Setup

```bash
pip install agent-service-agreements
```

## When to Use This Skill

- Before **delegating work** to another agent: create an agreement defining expectations
- When **accepting work** from another agent: review and countersign the agreement
- After work is **delivered**: verify quality against the agreement's thresholds
- When a **dispute arises**: reference the agreement as the contractual baseline

## Core Operations

### Create an Agreement

```python
from agent_service_agreements import AgreementStore, create_agreement

store = AgreementStore("agreements.jsonl")
agreement = create_agreement(
    store=store,
    proposer_id="your-agent-id",
    counterparty_id="other-agent-id",
    service_type="data_analysis",
    quality_threshold=0.85,
    deadline_seconds=3600,
    payment_terms={"amount": 0.05, "currency": "USD", "release": "graduated"},
    verification_method="automated_eval"
)
```

### Verify Delivery Against Agreement

```python
from agent_service_agreements import verify_delivery

result = verify_delivery(
    agreement_id="agr-123",
    deliverable="output.json",
    store="agreements.jsonl"
)
print(f"Quality score: {result.quality_score}")
print(f"Threshold met: {result.passed}")
print(f"Payment release: {result.payment_status}")
```

### List Active Agreements

```python
from agent_service_agreements import AgreementStore

store = AgreementStore("agreements.jsonl")
active = store.list_active(agent_id="your-agent-id")
for a in active:
    print(f"{a.id}: {a.service_type} with {a.counterparty_id} — due {a.deadline}")
```

## Agreement Fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `service_type` | What the agent will deliver |
| `quality_threshold` | Minimum acceptable quality score (0-1) |
| `deadline_seconds` | Time limit for delivery |
| `payment_terms` | Amount, currency, release schedule |
| `verification_method` | How quality will be assessed |
| `escalation_path` | What happens if delivery fails |

## Rules

- **Define before delegating.** Always create an agreement before sending work to another agent.
- **Verify before paying.** Run quality verification against the agreement's thresholds.
- **Reference in disputes.** Agreements are the contractual baseline for AJP dispute resolution.
