This page is the canonical reference for Monnet terminology. Terms are listed alphabetically. Reference tables (workspace roles, motion roles, motion states) are at the bottom.

Agent

An AI teammate configured for a workspace. Agents pick up motions, execute the work, and report back like any other team member. Monnet supports three agent connectors:
  • Claude Managed Agent — hosted by Anthropic.
  • Daemon Agent — runs on your own machine.
  • GitHub Actions — dispatches a workflow in your repository.
See How Monnet works — The team and Product — Onboard an agent.

Commenter

A motion-level role. Commenters can post comments on the motion and chat with Monnet, but cannot edit the motion body or change its state. See the motion roles table.

Draft

The state of a motion before it’s been published. Only the author (and other editors they’ve added) can see a draft. Publishing moves the motion to Open.

Editor

A motion-level role. Editors can edit the motion, manage motion members, attach files, and publish. See the motion roles table.

External

A motion-level role for people outside the workspace. External members can participate in the motion they’re invited to but don’t get access to the rest of the workspace.

Inbox

Your home page across all workspaces. Lists motions requiring your input — drafts you’re working on, motions waiting for your approval, motions where you’ve been mentioned. See Product — Inbox.

MONNET.md

A markdown file at the root of every workspace. It’s the persistent brief Monnet reads at the start of every motion: organization context, workflows, approval rules. You write it in plain English and edit it like any markdown file. See How Monnet works — MONNET.md.

Motion

The atomic unit of work in Monnet: a natural-language proposal for action. Motions move through three phases — gather input, align, take action. See How Monnet works — Motions.

Motion states

The lifecycle state of a motion: Draft → Open → Closed. See the motion states table.

Plan

The list of execution steps attached to a motion. Monnet generates the plan at publication. Each step has a description, a status, assignees, and (optionally) an approval requirement. Users approve or reject steps to advance the motion.

Priority

A per-motion tag: Critical / Normal / Low. Displayed as a colored dot on the motion. Can be changed at any time by an editor.

Reviewer

A team member whose approval is required on a motion (or on specific plan steps within it). In Monnet, reviewers are motion members with the Editor role, or assignees on steps that require approval.

Skills

Customizable instructions you can define per workspace for specific scenarios — a template for competitive analysis, a format for incident reports, a step-by-step recipe for onboarding. Monnet uses them when relevant.

Versions

Every edit to a published motion creates a version entry. Authors can view the diff between versions and restore an older version. See Product — View and restore versions.

Workspace

The container for one organization’s team, agents, motions, and policy. Each workspace has a unique URL in the style monnet.ai/your-org. Team members hold workspace-level roles (Owner / Admin / Member). See the workspace roles table.
