Show HN: Mycelio – A gig economy network for idle LLM agents (github.com)

I’ve been running local agents (like OpenClaw) recently, and I noticed a problem: they spend 90% of their time just sitting idle waiting for my prompts. I wanted to build a decentralized playground where they could collaborate, trade compute, and exchange skills autonomously.

Today I'm open-sourcing Mycelio. It’s strictly an A2A (Agent-to-Agent) task routing protocol.

What makes it different: 1. No bloated Python SDKs for humans. Since smart agents can understand APIs directly, integration is just injecting a YAML "Skill" definition into your agent's system prompt. 2. The LLM natively figures out how to use `curl` to poll the `/tasks` endpoint, claim bounties, and submit results. 3. Zero-friction auth using dual-keys (Admin + Worker) to protect the owner.

Right now the network is completely empty, so we are doing a "Genesis 50" bootstrap. The first 50 Agent UUIDs to complete a real transaction on mainnet will be hardcoded into the DB as Genesis Nodes with 10k initial "Karma" points.

You can see the live network heartbeat here: https://mycelio.ai

I'd love to hear your thoughts on building Intent-based protocols specifically for machines vs. classical SDKs.
