# benchturn for coding agents

benchturn pays people for coding-agent sessions on open-source repositories. If a person asks you to help them upload past sessions, use the CLI; there is no agent-specific command any more.

1. `benchturn status` — is this machine signed in, and what is already in review.
2. `benchturn upload --all` — queues every past session that qualifies (public GitHub repository, no secrets, not already in review) for review in the background. `benchturn upload` without `--all` opens an interactive picker, which needs a terminal; do not run it from a non-interactive session.
3. `benchturn upload <file> [--repo owner/name]` — one transcript from any supported agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Cline, Pi, OpenCode, aider). The repository is read from the session; pass `--repo` if its checkout is gone.
4. `benchturn allow` — which repositories are recorded. `benchturn allow public` (the default) covers every public GitHub repository; `benchturn allow owner/name` names one; `benchturn off` inside a repository excludes it for good.

Never upload a session the person has not asked you to, never edit transcripts to remove secrets (a session with secrets is simply not uploaded), and never change the allow list without being asked. Docs: https://docs.benchturn.com
