+# compensation-bot
+a bot to parse bisq compensation requests
+
+Specification is here: https://github.com/bisq-network/projects/issues/32
+
+
+## Configure settings
+follow instructions for the `.env` file at https://probot.github.io/docs/development/#manually-configuring-a-github-app
+
+
+## Setup
+
+```sh
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Run the bot
+npm start
+```
+
+## Tools
+
+`linter_tool.html` is a thin test harness for the linter.  It can be used for
+
+- testing an individual compensation request
+- running the linter test suite
+- loading an existing compensation request from github to examine & test it
+
+
+`reporting_tool.html` allows the end of cycle data to be analysed.  It works from a JSON data blob which can be obtained from a file, or generated by re-parsing all GitHub compensation reports.  
+The cycle report outputs the following CSV reports:
+- cycle issuance by team (in BSQ)
+- cycle issuance by team (in USD)
+- cycle issuance by team/user (in BSQ)
+- cycle issuance by team/user (in USD)
+
+
+`issuance.json` is the JSON blob used to store a record of parsed compensation reports.  Ideally it should be updated by a maintainer at each cycle end.  This is something that `reporting_tool` can help with.
