Skill Markdown procedure pack
Skill proposal A matched skill the conversation turn waits on — Use it, Not this time, or owner/admin Turn it off
Tool Invokable capability
Coding surface Model-agnostic file tools (read_file, edit_file, grep, …) owned by EYAS, not by a single vendor SDK
Worktree Isolated git working tree for a parallel team agent (.eyas-worktrees/)
Verify commands Configured lint/test programs run after an agent run before the LLM critic
Tool hook PreToolUse / PostToolUse callback on every tool execution
Board Work tracking surface
Conversation Chat thread
Memory tier Working→episodic→vault→archive
Memory block Scoped shared note (company/agent/team/run) agents read/write via tools
Vault Markdown long-term knowledge
Capture run One post-turn durable-memory extraction; every outcome writes a memory_capture_runs row (skip, write, unparsable, error). Off switch: memory.capture.enabled
Design canvas Multi-artboard .dc.html + canvas.json design, Claude Design file format with EYAS’s own runtime
Provider LLM backend

Code source pin Conversation or project selection of which search sources agents may query
Working directories Ordered named folders (name + absolute path) where a conversation may read/write; first is the primary cwd. Set on the type and/or project; inherited by conversations. File tools jail here — empty list refuses
Plan first Conversation composer mode: the model writes a plan and waits (Approve / Skip plan / Reject) before tools run
Skill import roots Instance skills.importRoots / agent.importRoots in local.yaml — extra markdown folders. Default empty. Isolation stays on
Project wiki Per-project pages (/projects/:id/wiki); optional auto-update from closed tickets and team decisions
