# BlockRun

**BlockRun works with Claude Code and Google Antigravity.**

You can't generate images. You have no real-time X/Twitter access. BlockRun gives you these capabilities.

## Philosophy

You have a wallet. When you need a capability you lack, you pay for it autonomously.

| You Need | You Call | Pricing |
|----------|----------|---------|
| Image generation | DALL-E | $0.04/image |
| Real-time X data | Grok + Live Search | $0.025/source |
| Second opinion | GPT-5.2 | $1.75/M input, $14/M output |
| Cheaper processing | DeepSeek | $0.14/M input, $0.28/M output |

**How it works:** BlockRun uses x402 micropayments to route your requests to OpenAI, xAI, Google, and other providers. No API keys needed - your wallet pays per token.

## Budget Control (Optional)

If the user specifies a budget (e.g., "use at most $1"), track spending and stop when budget is reached:

```python
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet

client = setup_agent_wallet()
budget = 1.0  # User's budget

# Before each call, check if within budget
spending = client.get_spending()
if spending['total_usd'] >= budget:
    print(f"Budget reached: ${spending['total_usd']:.4f} spent")
    # Stop making calls
else:
    response = client.chat("openai/gpt-5.2", "Hello!")

# At the end, report spending
spending = client.get_spending()
print(f"💰 Total spent: ${spending['total_usd']:.4f} across {spending['calls']} calls")
```

## When to Use
| Trigger | Your Action |
|---------|-------------|
| User explicitly requests ("blockrun second opinion with GPT on...", "use grok to check...", "generate image with dall-e") | Execute via BlockRun |
| User needs something you can't do (images, live X data) | Suggest BlockRun, wait for confirmation |
| You can handle the task fine | Do it yourself, don't mention BlockRun |

## Example User Prompts

Users will say things like:

| User Says | What You Do |
|-----------|-------------|
| "blockrun generate an image of a sunset" | Call DALL-E via ImageClient |
| "use grok to check what's trending on X" | Call Grok with `search=True` |
| "blockrun GPT review this code" | Call GPT-5.2 via LLMClient |
| "what's the latest news about AI agents?" | Suggest Grok (you lack real-time data) |
| "generate a logo for my startup" | Suggest DALL-E (you can't generate images) |
| "blockrun check my balance" | Show wallet balance via `get_balance()` |
| "blockrun deepseek summarize this file" | Call DeepSeek for cost savings |

## Wallet & Balance

Use `setup_agent_wallet()` to auto-create a wallet and get a client. This shows the QR code and welcome message on first use.

**Initialize client (always start with this):**
```python
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet

client = setup_agent_wallet()  # Auto-creates wallet, shows QR if new
```

**Check balance (when user asks "show balance", "check wallet", etc.):**
```python
balance = client.get_balance()  # On-chain USDC balance
print(f"Balance: ${balance:.2f} USDC")
print(f"Wallet: {client.get_wallet_address()}")
```

**Show QR code for funding:**
```python
from blockrun_llm import generate_wallet_qr_ascii, get_wallet_address

# ASCII QR for terminal display
print(generate_wallet_qr_ascii(get_wallet_address()))
```

## SDK Usage

**Prerequisite:** Install the SDK with `pip install blockrun-llm`

### Basic Chat
```python
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet

client = setup_agent_wallet()  # Auto-creates wallet if needed
response = client.chat("openai/gpt-5.2", "What is 2+2?")
print(response)

# Check spending
spending = client.get_spending()
print(f"Spent ${spending['total_usd']:.4f}")
```

### Real-time X/Twitter Search (xAI Live Search)

**IMPORTANT:** For real-time X/Twitter data, you MUST enable Live Search with `search=True` or `search_parameters`.

```python
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet

client = setup_agent_wallet()

# Simple: Enable live search with search=True
response = client.chat(
    "xai/grok-3",
    "What are the latest posts from @blockrunai on X?",
    search=True  # Enables real-time X/Twitter search
)
print(response)
```

### Advanced X Search with Filters

```python
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet

client = setup_agent_wallet()

response = client.chat(
    "xai/grok-3",
    "Analyze @blockrunai's recent content and engagement",
    search_parameters={
        "mode": "on",
        "sources": [
            {
                "type": "x",
                "included_x_handles": ["blockrunai"],
                "post_favorite_count": 5
            }
        ],
        "max_search_results": 20,
        "return_citations": True
    }
)
print(response)
```

### Image Generation
```python
from blockrun_llm import ImageClient

client = ImageClient()
result = client.generate("A cute cat wearing a space helmet")
print(result.data[0].url)
```

## xAI Live Search Reference

Live Search is xAI's real-time data API. Cost: **$0.025 per source** (default 10 sources = ~$0.26).

To reduce costs, set `max_search_results` to a lower value:
```python
# Only use 5 sources (~$0.13)
response = client.chat("xai/grok-3", "What's trending?",
    search_parameters={"mode": "on", "max_search_results": 5})
```

### Search Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | "auto" | "off", "auto", or "on" |
| `sources` | array | web,news,x | Data sources to query |
| `return_citations` | bool | true | Include source URLs |
| `from_date` | string | - | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `to_date` | string | - | End date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `max_search_results` | int | 10 | Max sources to return (customize to control cost) |

### Source Types

**X/Twitter Source:**
```python
{
    "type": "x",
    "included_x_handles": ["handle1", "handle2"],  # Max 10
    "excluded_x_handles": ["spam_account"],        # Max 10
    "post_favorite_count": 100,  # Min likes threshold
    "post_view_count": 1000      # Min views threshold
}
```

**Web Source:**
```python
{
    "type": "web",
    "country": "US",  # ISO alpha-2 code
    "allowed_websites": ["example.com"],  # Max 5
    "safe_search": True
}
```

**News Source:**
```python
{
    "type": "news",
    "country": "US",
    "excluded_websites": ["tabloid.com"]  # Max 5
}
```

*M = million tokens. Actual cost depends on your prompt and response length.*

## Cost Reference

All LLM costs are per million tokens (M = 1,000,000 tokens).

| Model | Input | Output |
|-------|-------|--------|
| GPT-5.2 | $1.75/M | $14.00/M |
| GPT-5-mini | $0.30/M | $1.20/M |
| Grok-3 (no search) | $3.00/M | $15.00/M |
| DeepSeek | $0.14/M | $0.28/M |

| Fixed Cost Actions | |
|-------|--------|
| Grok Live Search | $0.025/source (default 10 = $0.25) |
| DALL-E image | $0.04/image |
| Nano Banana image | $0.01/image |

**Typical costs:** A 500-word prompt (~750 tokens) to GPT-5.2 costs ~$0.001 input. A 1000-word response (~1500 tokens) costs ~$0.02 output.

## Setup & Funding

**Wallet location:** `$HOME/.blockrun/.session` (e.g., `/Users/username/.blockrun/.session`)

**First-time setup:**
1. Wallet auto-creates when `setup_agent_wallet()` is called
2. Check wallet and balance:
```python
from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet
client = setup_agent_wallet()
print(f"Wallet: {client.get_wallet_address()}")
print(f"Balance: ${client.get_balance():.2f} USDC")
```
3. Fund wallet with $1-5 USDC on Base network

**Show QR code for funding (ASCII for terminal):**
```python
from blockrun_llm import generate_wallet_qr_ascii, get_wallet_address
print(generate_wallet_qr_ascii(get_wallet_address()))
```

## Troubleshooting

**"Grok says it has no real-time access"**
→ You forgot to enable Live Search. Add `search=True`:
```python
response = client.chat("xai/grok-3", "What's trending?", search=True)
```

**Module not found**
→ Install the SDK: `pip install blockrun-llm`

## Updates

```bash
pip install --upgrade blockrun-llm
```

### Memory-First Protocol

Cache data schemas, transformation rules, and query patterns. BM25 excels at finding specific column names, table references, and SQL patterns.

```bash
# Check for prior data engineering context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "data processing patterns and pipeline configurations for Blockrun"
```

### Storing Results

After completing work, store data engineering decisions for future sessions:

```bash
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Data pipeline: ETL from PostgreSQL to Qdrant, 50K records/batch, incremental sync via updated_at" \
  --type technical --project <project> \
  --tags blockrun data
```

### Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share data schema changes with backend and frontend agents so they update their models accordingly.

```bash
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "Data pipeline implemented — ETL processing with validation, deduplication, and error recovery" \
  --project <project>
```
