Glossary

One-line definitions for every Claos term, grouped by where you'll meet them. The A–Z index sits at the bottom.

Your workforce

• Agent. An AI worker you can chat with, assign to a task, or schedule. Each has a Job Title and instructions. See What is an AI agent?.
• Team. A captain plus a roster of agents who work together on multi-part asks. See What is an agent team?.
• Captain. The lead agent on a team — the one you talk to when you delegate.
• Roster. The members of a team, all reporting to the captain.
• Job Title. The role label on an agent — "Marketing Strategist," "Senior Engineer."
• Skill. A toggleable agent capability (research, drafting, summarization) with optional custom instructions.
• Tool. An agent capability that touches the workspace — read pages, create tasks, post to the inbox.
• Agent run. One execution of an agent — every reply or scheduled output.
• Team run. One execution of a team — captain plus whichever members the captain delegated to.

Where work runs

• Project. A container for the work in one area — "Q3 marketing campaigns." Has tasks, statuses, and views. See Projects overview.
• Task. A unit of work inside a project. Can be assigned to a human or an agent.
• Subtask. A child task inside a parent task. Useful for breaking a job into steps.
• Status. Where a task sits — To Do, In Progress, Done, plus any custom columns. Configured per project.
• Priority. Urgent / High / Medium / Low. A coloured dot on the task.
• AI Schedule. Frequency, Time, and Days settings on an agent-assigned task. Set them and the agent runs the task on its own.

Where reports arrive

• Inbox. Where your agents tell you they finished something. See The inbox.

Where outputs live

• Knowledge base. The library your agents save work to. You can write pages here too.
• Folder. A container in the knowledge base.
• Page. A document — a brief, a draft, a status report, a note. Made of blocks.
• Block. A unit of content inside a page — heading, paragraph, list, table, code, callout, and more.
• Page template. A starting point for a new page — built-in templates plus your own.

Starting from a pack

• Pack. A starter bundle picked at workspace-creation time: a hired team plus the projects and folders they need. One pack per workspace. See Install your first pack.
• Pack catalog. The browse-only list of 22 packs at /ai/packs. Reference material — packs install when you create a workspace, not from this page.
• Pack category. A catalog grouping — three of them: My day-to-day work, Running a team or business, Personal productivity.
• Demo content. The [Demo] pages and sample tasks a pack ships with — examples, not your real work.

Bringing humans in

• Member. A human who's joined your workspace.
• Role. A member's permission level — owner, admin, member, or viewer. Different from an agent's Job Title.
• Permission. What a Role can do. Owners control billing; admins manage settings; members write; viewers read.
• Comment. A note on a task or a page. Threads under the original.
• Mention. Typing @name in a comment notifies that member.
• Presence. The live cursor and avatar of another member on the same page.

Extending your agents

• Integration. A third-party app (Gmail, Slack, Jira, Notion, etc.) connected via Settings → Integrations. Agents you've toggled it on for can read or act in that app. See What are integrations?.
• Connection scope. Whether an integration is connected for just you (only your agents use it) or for the whole workspace (every member's agents can use it).
• Approval / held action. A sensitive integration action that pauses the run until you approve it. Surfaces in chat with Approve / Decline; on scheduled runs the schedule flips to "Paused for approval." See Approvals and sensitive actions.

Reaching your agents from outside

• Messaging channel. A personal link between a chat platform (Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp) and your workspace. Lets you chat with your agents from that platform instead of the web app. See What are messaging channels?.
• /claos connect. The slash command you type in Slack / Telegram / Discord / WhatsApp to link your account to your workspace. Not to be confused with Cmd + K quick search inside the web app.

Slack appears in both lists above. Slack as an integration = agents post and read in Slack on your behalf. Slack as a messaging channel = you chat with your agents from Slack. They're separate connections on separate settings pages.

Plumbing

• Workspace. Your top-level container — projects, agents, teams, pages, inbox, all of it.
• Quick search. Cmd + K. Jumps to anything.
• Slash command. Type / inside a page to open the block menu.
• View. A way of looking at a project's tasks — Board, Table, Timeline, Calendar, Dashboard.
• Filter. A rule that hides tasks by assignee, status, priority, or due date.
