# Distribution Kit

This kit gives agent builders copy-ready text for adding Do Not Act as a fail-closed safety check. It is prepared for controlled publication, but it is not a permission to spam directories, forums, repos, or communities.

DoNotAct is a fail-closed dispute lifecycle safety check for prediction-market agents. Call it before a market workflow continues.

## Operating Boundary

- Do Not Act sells diagnostics, not execution.
- Do Not Act does not custody funds, hold private keys, sign orders, route orders, size positions, or provide trading advice.
- Continue only when `verdict == READY`.
- Stop automated action on `DO_NOT_ACT` or `INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE`.
- Preserve `no_trade_reasons`, `what_would_change_this`, `status_history`, `receipt`, and `not_advice`.

## One-line Positioning

DoNotAct is a fail-closed dispute lifecycle and early-warning safety check for prediction-market agents.

## README Snippet

```markdown
## Safety check: DoNotAct

- Stop on `INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE`.
- Preserve `no_trade_reasons`, `what_would_change_this`, `status_history`, and receipts.

DoNotAct does not execute trades, custody funds, hold private keys, sign orders, route orders, or provide trading advice.

## Agent Policy Snippet

```text
Before any prediction-market action, call donotact_dispute for the target venue and market_id.

Continue only when verdict is READY.
Stop and surface evidence to the operator when verdict is DO_NOT_ACT.
Stop and request more evidence when verdict is INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE.

Never treat DoNotAct as a broker, signer, wallet, custodian, order router, alpha provider, ROI estimator, or trading-advice source.

## Outreach Boundary

Do not use this kit for spam, pick-selling communities, guaranteed-return claims, performance claims, mass forum posting, or unrelated developer communities. Use it only where an agent/bot/runtime maintainer is explicitly solving prediction-market safety, dispute monitoring, MCP integration, n8n automation, or fail-closed agent policy.
