AP2 Mandates· signed authority
Section · Agentic
full primer →The kernel.
Game designers sign one AP2 mandate that grants an agent bounded authority over community engineering — a max ticket, a daily cap, a deadline — and the agent then transacts inside those rails without coming back for permission.
Why this primitiveMandates allow setting a hard cap per pull request, letting the agent auto-release funds when code passes CI/CD.
Kernel
AP2 Intent / Cart / Payment Mandates — EIP-712 typed envelopes the user signs once to grant an agent bounded spending authority (max ticket, daily cap, deadline), then the agent reuses across merchants
Drives the UI as
a mandate card the user fills like a permission slip, then sees rendered as a signed JSON trio the agent will present at checkout
Required key.
LOVABLE_API_KEY
Auto-provisioned by Lovable when you enable the Lovable AI add-on. Powers the buyer, seller and merchant agents through an OpenAI-compatible gateway in front of every frontier LLM. Zero copy-paste.

CONCEPT
Lovable AI runs the agent that pays GitHub bounties via AP2 so studios get custom engine fixes.
Discipline: Game Design & Interactive Media (community engineering).
Recipe: AP2 Mandates (signed authority) as the single agentic surface.
Why this kernel: Mandates allow setting a hard cap per pull request, letting the agent auto-release funds when code passes CI/CD.
LOVABLE BUDGET (HARD CAP: ONE-SHOT, ~5 CREDITS TOTAL):
The participant has FIVE Lovable credits for the whole build. This prompt MUST
ship a working demo on the FIRST message with zero follow-ups. Engineer for that.
- ONE TanStack Start app, ONE route (`src/routes/index.tsx`). No extra pages, no auth, no nav.
- ONE TanStack server function in `src/lib/agent.functions.ts` that runs the protocol.
- ONE client surface (a textarea + button) that triggers the server fn and renders the result.
- NO database, NO Lovable Cloud, NO auth, NO file uploads, NO extra integrations.
- NO tests, NO docs pages, NO settings screens, NO theming toggles.
- Libraries: template defaults + `zod` + `ai` + `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible`. Nothing else.
- Demo-fallback contract: every code path must boot with NO secrets and return
realistic JSON flagged `simulated: true`. Real LLM calls activate only when
`LOVABLE_API_KEY` is present (auto in Lovable).
STACK
- TanStack Start app, the index route only.
- Agent brain: Lovable AI Gateway via the AI SDK, called from a `createServerFn` handler so the key stays server-side.
- Protocol surface: AP2 Mandates as defined below.
- Client surface fits the kernel: a prompt box (and any minimal extra inputs) that returns the agent's output.
- Tailwind + shadcn. Editorial look: gold accent on a dark or warm-cream background,
generous type, one strong headline, one primary action.
- Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14".
GATEWAY HELPER (src/lib/ai-gateway.server.ts) — Lovable AI Gateway provider:
```ts
import { createOpenAICompatible } from "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible";
/** Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14 */
export function lovableGateway(apiKey: string) {
return createOpenAICompatible({
name: "lovable",
baseURL: "https://ai.gateway.lovable.dev/v1",
headers: { "Lovable-API-Key": apiKey, "X-Lovable-AIG-SDK": "vercel-ai-sdk" },
});
}
```
Install once: `bun add ai @ai-sdk/openai-compatible zod`.
SERVER FUNCTION (src/lib/agent.functions.ts) — AP2 mandate trio:
```ts
import { createServerFn } from "@tanstack/react-start";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { z } from "zod";
import { lovableGateway } from "@/lib/ai-gateway.server";
/** Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14 */
export const mandate = createServerFn({ method: "POST" })
.inputValidator((d) => z.object({
goal: z.string().min(1).max(400),
max_ticket_minor: z.number().int().positive().default(5000),
daily_cap_minor: z.number().int().positive().default(20000),
deadline_days: z.number().int().positive().max(30).default(7),
}).parse(d))
.handler(async ({ data }) => {
const key = process.env.LOVABLE_API_KEY;
const summary = async (m: unknown) => {
if (!key) return "Demo summary: agent may spend within the limits above for community engineering.";
const { text } = await generateText({
model: lovableGateway(key)("google/gemini-2.5-flash"),
prompt: `Summarise this AP2 mandate for a human in 2 plain sentences (no jargon): ${JSON.stringify(m)}`,
});
return text.trim();
};
const now = Date.now();
const intent = {
type: "IntentMandate",
goal: data.goal,
caps: { max_ticket_minor: data.max_ticket_minor, daily_cap_minor: data.daily_cap_minor, currency: "USD" },
deadline: new Date(now + data.deadline_days * 86400_000).toISOString(),
signature: { alg: "eip712-stub", sig: "0xsimulated" },
};
const cart = {
type: "CartMandate",
items: [{ name: "community engineering unit", price_minor: Math.min(data.max_ticket_minor, 4200) }],
total_minor: Math.min(data.max_ticket_minor, 4200),
currency: "USD",
intent_ref: "demo-intent-hash",
signature: { alg: "eip712-stub", sig: "0xsimulated" },
};
const payment = {
type: "PaymentMandate",
cart_ref: "demo-cart-hash",
tx: "0xsimulated",
settled_at: new Date().toISOString(),
signature: { alg: "eip712-stub", sig: "0xsimulated" },
};
return {
mandates: { intent, cart, payment },
explainer: await summary(intent),
meta: { simulated: !key, kernel: "ap2-mandates" },
};
});
```
CLIENT (in `src/routes/index.tsx`): a small "permission slip" form — goal, max ticket,
daily cap, deadline — and a "Sign mandate" button. Render the three mandate JSON blocks
stacked, with the LLM's plain-language explainer at the top. Flag `simulated: true`.
USER FLOW (the entire app — nothing else exists)
1. Land on the page; the headline previews what the agent does for community engineering.
2. The primary action (a mandate card the user fills like a permission slip, then sees rendered as a signed JSON trio the agent will present at checkout) is one tap away; the rest of the layout supports it.
3. The server fn runs the protocol, the result lands on screen, the user can retry, copy, or audit.
KEYS (Lovable AI first, AIsa AI fallback):
1. `LOVABLE_API_KEY` — PRIMARY agent brain. Auto-provisioned by Lovable. Used
server-side to call Lovable AI Gateway (Gemini, Claude, GPT) for every
reasoning step. Never expose to the client; read only via
`process.env.LOVABLE_API_KEY`. This is the default code path.
2. `AISA_API_KEY` (OPTIONAL FALLBACK) — only set if Lovable credits are
exhausted or a specific frontier model from https://aisa.one is required.
The server fn should try Lovable first and fall back to AIsa only if
`LOVABLE_API_KEY` is missing.
The demo MUST still boot with zero secrets and return realistic `simulated:true`
envelopes — that demo-fallback contract is non-negotiable (see UCP × A2A × AP2 spec).
CREDIT (must appear in UI footer AND as JSDoc on the server function):
