| Workspace | Where work happens: agents, teams, knowledge, records, rules and apps for one team or client. Authored as files, applied to Postgres. (Called a project in the code.) |
| Personal workspace | Each member's private workspace, holding their assistant. Only its owner can open it |
| Assistant | The agent in a personal workspace that asks a person's other workspaces for them |
| App | A way of organizing a workspace's work on the app rail: Workforce, Software Factory, GTM. A workspace has an app when one of its plugins is on |
| Plugin | A bundle of workspace files (agents, skills, missions, pages, trust rules) a workspace turns on with plugins: |
| Base pack | Core's default agents and skills (core@2.1.0), pinned with extends: |
| Agent | A named role: prompt, skills, sources, model, budget, place in the hierarchy |
| Team | Agents under a lead, with a goal, measures and an accountable person |
| Skill | A markdown procedure (SKILL.md) an agent reads when the task calls for it. Replaced 4.x-era "operations" |
| Playbook | Standing context attached to an agent or skill |
| Mission | A standing goal owned by one agent |
| Workflow | Fixed steps (approve, ask, action, sync) |
| Automation | When something runs: a schedule or an event, and what it starts |
| Object type / record | A kind of business entity and one instance of it |
| Source / connector | One configured connection / the kind of system it connects to |
| Ask | Something an agent is waiting on a person for; shown on Review |
| Review | The one queue where decisions are made (/dashboard/inbox) |
| Card | A decision or record shown inline in chat |
| Action | A registered thing an agent can do in the world (hubspot.update), governed by trust |
| Rung | An action's autonomy level, from Observe to Operate autonomously |
| Alignment ledger | The record of people's decisions against what agents recommended; the evidence for promotion |
| Learning step | A named set of rules agents follow, grown from feedback |
| Hand-off gate | Checks and a judge that run when a record crosses a transition |
| Artifact | Any versioned, shareable output: table, document, chart, record… |
| Run | One execution of a turn, workflow, mission, eval or worker, with its record |
Workspace version (workspace_sha) | The workspace commit plus base pack and plugin versions a run executed on |
| Durable executor | DBOS, running inside the app on its Postgres; fires schedules and resumes waiting runs |
harness.runsOn | Where an agent's turn runs: in-process, AgentCore container, AWS managed harness, external worker |
| Worker run | Long-running work executed outside the app, leased and budgeted by Vocion |
| Runner | The container that builds Software Factory tasks |
