Glossary

Stable AgentOS terms and the boundaries they name.

Agent

A model-driven actor that owns a bounded outcome through a harness. Capitalized for the AgentOS organizational concept.

Assignment

The active bounded outcome bound to one accountable Agent. Handoffs create history rather than rewriting ownership.

Captain

The human role—held by a person or team—that owns purpose, risk and consequential decisions.

Crewmate

A bounded ship or scout worker for one Assignment.

First Mate

The Captain-facing persistent Agent that accepts intent, forms the Fleet and supervises direct reports.

Fleet

The AgentOS organization and its connected native authorities.

Harness

The runtime that gives a model session, context, tools, permissions, sandboxing and recovery.

Herdr

The native terminal and harness-session surface used by AgentOS runtimes.

Second Mate

A persistent First-Mate report with one durable domain charter and its own Crewmate subtree.

Task

Stable accepted intent that can survive several Assignments.

Wake hint

A targeted notification that prompts reconciliation. It carries no durable business meaning by itself.

Standing authority

A durable, exact human decision covering a narrow repeatable class of consequences.
