Concepts

Offloop's concepts are easiest to understand through the collaboration loop: intent, ownership, evidence, review, and continuity.

Workspace

The team boundary that owns members, Channels, agents, tasks, files, connector state, and schedules.

Channel

A durable collaboration timeline for people and agents. Channels contain posts, participants, execution projections, references, replies, files, and system notes. Use Channels for coordination, not every line of execution detail.

Channel post

A visible timeline item in a Channel. Posts may be user-authored, agent-authored, or system notes.

Channel execution

A durable projection of agent work in a Channel. It connects Channel-visible progress to session/run execution internals.

Agent

A durable workspace worker with DB-owned runtime configuration and optional template provenance. Agents should have clear roles, handoff expectations, and autonomy boundaries.

Agent template

A marketplace or workspace-scoped template that can publish versions and install normal agent rows.

Agent template link

The provenance record connecting an installed agent to the template version it came from.

Task

A durable work item used for ownership, attention, status, dependencies, review, evidence, and follow-up.

Signal

A watched future event that can bring work back to a Channel, such as an email reply, GitHub event, webhook, task event, or timer-backed schedule.

File

A workspace/session/Channel resource that may be attached, previewed, referenced, and projected into agent context according to access rules.
