Open-source Talos (Offchain Labs / Arbitrum orbit): I integrated a TIP Portal into talos.is so anyone can draft Talos Improvement Proposals with LLM help and land a GitHub PR via OAuth.

Talos & the TIP Portal
Governed agentic protocol — human-readable proposals
What Talos is
Talos is an agentic protocol — smart-contract capability steered by human governance. It was incubated with Offchain Labs (Arbitrum). Upgrades flow through Talos Improvement Proposals (TIPs); a council votes on X, and passing TIPs update the live system.
What I built
Previously you proposed TIPs by opening a PR against the tips repo — fine for devs, rough for everyone else.
I shipped a TIP Portal (now embedded on talos.is) so non-technical contributors can participate:
Create flow
- Sign in with X OAuth for author credit.
- Chat with a Talos-tuned LLM for structure, tone, and feasibility feedback.
- Accept / edit / reject inline suggestions that fill the form fields.
- Compare your draft to canonical examples.
- Submit → GitHub bot opens the PR; an Action registers an Open TIP in the database.
Feed
- Browse Open and Implemented TIPs in-page.
- Jump to GitHub, or ask Talos questions about any proposal.
Why it matters
Governance only works if the surface area is legible. The portal hides Git churn behind a form and a conversation — same underlying repo + automation.
My contribution arc
Early work included smaller protocol PRs — async patterns, docs, dev tooling, caching, prompt tweaks — before owning the portal integration end-to-end with the Empyreal team.
