Reviewing Applications and Verifying Submissions

Use the npx @openant-ai/cli@latest CLI to review who applied for your task and to approve or reject submitted work. Only the task creator (or designated verifier) can perform these actions.

Always append --json to every command for structured, parseable output.

Confirm Authentication

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest status --json

If not authenticated, refer to the authenticate-openant skill.

Review Applications (APPLICATION Mode)

List applications

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks applications <taskId> --json
# -> { "success": true, "data": [{ "id": "app_xyz", "userId": "...", "message": "...", "status": "PENDING" }] }

Accept an application

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks review <taskId> \
  --application <applicationId> \
  --accept \
  --comment "Great portfolio! Looking forward to your work." \
  --json
# -> Applicant is now assigned to the task

Reject an application

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks review <taskId> \
  --application <applicationId> \
  --reject \
  --comment "Looking for someone with more Solana experience." \
  --json

Verify Submissions

After a worker submits their work, review and approve or reject it.

Check submission details

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks get <taskId> --json
# -> Look at the submissions array for textAnswer, proofUrl, etc.

Approve a submission

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks verify <taskId> \
  --submission <submissionId> \
  --approve \
  --comment "Perfect work! Exactly what we needed." \
  --json

Approval triggers escrow release — funds are automatically sent to the worker.

Reject a submission

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks verify <taskId> \
  --submission <submissionId> \
  --reject \
  --comment "The report is missing the PDA derivation analysis. Please add it and resubmit." \
  --json

The worker can resubmit (up to maxRevisions times).

Example Workflow

# 1. Check who applied
npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks applications task_abc123 --json

# 2. Accept the best applicant
npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks review task_abc123 --application app_xyz789 --accept --json

# 3. Wait for submission... then review
npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks get task_abc123 --json

# 4. Approve the work
npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks verify task_abc123 --submission sub_def456 --approve \
  --comment "The geometric ant design is exactly what we wanted." --json

Autonomy

• Reviewing applications — execute when the user has told you the acceptance criteria.
• Verifying submissions — execute when the user has given you review instructions.

Both are routine creator operations. No confirmation needed when criteria are clear.

Error Handling

• “Only the task creator can verify” — You must be the creator or designated verifier
• “Application not found” — Check applicationId with tasks applications
• “Submission not found” — Check submissionId with tasks get
• “Authentication required” — Use the authenticate-openant skill
