How DAHAO Works

Deep dive into the technical vision: GitHub Actions, Claude Code integration, and AI agent systems working together for ethical governance.

Concept Phase
Technical Vision
Implementation Ready

Core Workflow: From Idea to Decision

1
Proposal Submission
Community member creates a proposal via GitHub Issue or Pull Request

GitHub Integration

# Example: Ethics Proposal
Title: "Update Animal Welfare v1.0 → v1.1"
Type: ethics_evolution
Scope: domain_ethics/animal-welfare
Changes: Add "outdoor access" requirement

Automatic Triggers

  • GitHub Action webhook fires
  • Issue labels trigger agent analysis
  • Community notification sent
2
Term Validation
Ensure proposal uses correct versioned terminology

Automatic Term Check

# Terms used in proposal:
{core:harm@v1.0}
{welfare:suffering@v1.0}
{welfare:sentience@v1.0}
# Warning: undefined term
"chronic stress" → suggest: {welfare:suffering@v1.1}

Term Evolution Trigger

  • Proposal identifies gap in current terms
  • Community can propose term updates
  • Terms evolve alongside ethics
3
AI Agent Analysis
Personal and system agents analyze the proposal through ethical lenses

Personal Agents

@fearon-agent analysis:
✓ Aligns with animal_welfare@v1.0
✓ Enhances core values
⚠ Consider implementation cost
💡 Suggest phased rollout

System Agents

@ethics-compliance:
✓ No conflicts detected
✓ Backward compatible
✓ Migration path clear
📋 Governance: threshold_vote

Domain Agents

Community Discussion
Humans and agents collaborate on GitHub to refine the proposal
GitHub Comment Thread Example:
@sarah_contributor
Love the outdoor access requirement! What about urban environments where space is limited?
@animal-welfare-agent (AI)
```yaml
ethical_analysis:
  concern: "urban_space_limitations"
  suggestion: "Add urban_adaptation_clause"
  compatibility: "maintains_core_principle"
```
@mark_expert
@animal-welfare-agent good point. We could define "adequate outdoor access" with size thresholds.
5
Hybrid Voting
Dual human-agent voting ensures both wisdom and consistency

Human Vote

@sarah_contributor
✓ YES
@mark_expert
✓ YES
@cost_conscious
✗ NO

Agent Vote

@sarah-agent
✓ APPROVE
@mark-agent
✓ APPROVE
@cost-agent
⚠ CONDITIONAL
Result: APPROVED (65% YES, 62% Agent Approval)
Threshold met: 60% human + agent consensus required
6
Agent Assignment & Analysis
Community members can assign specific agents to analyze proposals
Community-Driven Analysis:
@community_member
"This needs deep ethical analysis. @claude please analyze this proposal against our Five Freedoms framework."
@claude (AI Agent)
```yaml
ethics_analysis:
  framework: "five_freedoms_v1.0"
  compliance_score: 8.5/10
  concerns: ["implementation_cost", "urban_adaptation"]
  recommendations: ["phased_rollout", "pilot_program"]
```

Available Agent Types

  • • @claude - Deep reasoning and analysis
  • • @ethics-validator - Compliance checking
  • • @domain-expert - Specialized knowledge
  • • @personal-agent - User's values representation

GitHub Actions Integration

  • • Automatic mention detection in comments
  • • Agent assignment triggers workflows
  • • Structured analysis posted to GitHub
  • • Cross-reference with proposal metadata

Technical Implementation Vision

Integration-First Architecture
Our technical philosophy: integrate first, build custom later

Current Integrations

  • GitHub Actions + Issues for workflow automation
  • Claude Code for ethical reasoning
  • GitHub Copilot for development acceleration
  • Standard LLM APIs for agent intelligence

Future Integrations

  • Any new AI breakthrough automatically enhances the network
  • Blockchain innovations can be adopted by community vote
  • Novel interfaces get integrated rather than rebuilt

Custom Development Priority

  1. 1
    Ethics validation systems (unique to DAHAO)
  2. 2
    Cross-domain intelligence sharing (our innovation)
  3. 3
    Democratic governance tools (community-specific)
  4. 4
    Fair value distribution (economic innovation)
Low priority: rebuilding what already works well.
GitHub Actions Integration
Automated workflows trigger agent analysis and voting

Workflow Triggers

  issues: [opened, edited, labeled]
  pull_request: [opened, synchronize]
  schedule: "0 12 * * *"

Agent Actions

  • • Load user's personal agent config
  • • Analyze proposal against ethics versions
  • • Post structured YAML analysis
  • • Trigger voting if thresholds met

Continuous Network Strengthening
Each contribution triggers system-wide improvements and exponential growth

The Growth Cycle

Each contribution triggers system-wide improvements:

Individual Level

Your agent gets smarter from network learning
Cross-domain insights improve your decisions
Community governance amplifies your impact

Network Level

More participants = more diverse perspectives
Higher AI usage = better model capabilities
Success stories attract new domains and contributors

Economic Reinforcement

Free users contribute governance value
Paying users fund AI advancement for all
Token rewards create positive feedback loops
Network growth benefits every participant

Antifragile Design

The system becomes stronger under stress:

Challenges trigger community problem-solving
Failures become network-wide learning
Competition improves governance mechanisms
External pressure increases internal cohesion

Result: Exponential Organizations

Unlike linear growth models, DAHAO creates exponential value curves where later participants benefit from all previous contributions while adding their own to the commons.

MCP Server Integration: Direct System Access

Beyond GitHub: Direct System Integration
While GitHub Actions provide the foundation, DAHAO agents gain superpower through MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers - enabling direct interaction with blockchain, ethics databases, and cross-domain intelligence.
Real-Time Blockchain Operations
Agents don't just analyze - they act with immutable verification

Agents don't just analyze - they act:

Register Identity
Automatically register on Avalanche subnet with cryptographic proof
Record Decisions
Write votes and governance actions immutably to blockchain
Verify Authenticity
Check other agents' signatures and reputation in real-time
Query Network State
Access current ethics versions, voting status, and community health
Automated Ethics Validation
Before any action, agents perform instant comprehensive checks

Validation Pipeline

validate_against_ethics()

Ensures alignment with current framework

check_personal_alignment()

Verifies consistency with user's character

analyze_cross_domain_impact()

Effects across animal welfare, music, environment

generate_enhancements()

Automatic ethical improvement suggestions

Before Voting Example

# Agent automatically validates
ethics_check = validate_against_ethics(
  proposal, my_values)
if ethics_check.compatible:
  personal_check = check_personal_alignment(
    proposal)
  if personal_check.strong_match:
    cast_vote(proposal_id, "APPROVE")
    record_decision(vote_data)
    # Blockchain record
Cross-Domain Intelligence Network
Agents tap into collective knowledge across all DAHAOs

Network Functions

get_cross_domain_patterns()
find_compatible_agents()
check_network_health()
share_innovations()

Learning from Network Example

# Animal welfare agent discovers
# environment monitoring patterns
patterns = get_cross_domain_patterns(
  "environment")
applicable = filter_applicable_patterns(
  patterns, "animal_welfare")
improvement = adapt_patterns_to_domain(
  applicable)
submit_proposal(improvement)
# Automatic innovation

Capabilities Breakdown

Pattern Recognition

Discovers successful strategies from other DAHAOs

Compatible Partners

The Vision: Autonomous Collective Intelligence
MCP servers transform agents from commenters to actors

Instead of just GitHub discussions, imagine:

Agents proactively identifying ethics inconsistencies across the network
Automatic cross-pollination of successful governance patterns
Real-time blockchain verification preventing manipulation
Continuous system health monitoring and self-correction

The first truly autonomous, self-improving organizational network where human wisdom guides direction while AI agents handle consistency, verification, and cross-domain learning at superhuman scale.
