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. You add one through a **connector** — the connector available today is the **Local Runner (Claude Code)**, which runs Claude Code on your own machine. Managed agents (hosted by Anthropic) and GitHub Actions connectors are on the way. See [How Monnet works — The team](/concepts/how-monnet-works#the-team-humans-and-agents) and [Product — Onboard an agent](/product/workspace#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](#motion-roles). ## Decided The option a team has chosen on a motion. An editor marks one [option](#option) card as decided; it's highlighted, the alternatives in that set are dimmed, and Monnet carries the decision forward. Only one option per set is decided at a time. See [Product — Compare options and decide](/product/motion#compare-options-and-decide). ## 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](#motion-roles). ## 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](/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](/concepts/how-monnet-works#monnet-md-persistent-context). ## 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](/concepts/how-monnet-works#motions-are-the-atomic-unit). ## Motion states The lifecycle state of a motion: **Draft → Open → Closed**. See the [motion states table](#motion-states). ## Option One of a set of alternatives Monnet lays out on a motion when a decision has clear, settled choices — a card with a description and the trade-offs. Members [vote](#vote) on options, and an editor marks one as [decided](#decided). Distinct from the [plan](#plan): options are *what you're choosing between*, the plan is *what happens once you've chosen*. See [Product — Compare options and decide](/product/motion#compare-options-and-decide). ## 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](/product/motion#view-and-restore-previous-versions). ## Vote A 👍 or 👎 reaction on an [option](#option) card. Any motion member can vote; counts update live and show who voted. Voting signals where the team leans — it doesn't decide the motion on its own. See [Product — Vote on an option](/product/motion#vote-on-an-option). ## 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](#workspace-roles). *** ## Reference tables ### Workspace roles | Role | What they can do | | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Owner** | Full administrative control. Can delete the workspace. | | **Admin** | Manage team and workspace settings. Cannot delete the workspace. | | **Member** | Collaborate on motions. Cannot access workspace administration. | ### Motion roles | Role | Can edit | Can comment | Can approve steps | Access to workspace | | ------------- | -------- | ----------- | ----------------- | --------------------------- | | **Editor** | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes (as a workspace member) | | **Commenter** | No | Yes | If assigned | Yes (as a workspace member) | | **External** | No | Yes | If assigned | No — motion-only | ### Motion states | State | Meaning | Who can see it | | ---------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | **Draft** | Not yet published. Author is editing. | Author and other editors. | | **Open** | Published. Plan is being executed. | All motion members. | | **Closed** | Finished (successfully or not). | All motion members. | ### Plan step statuses | Status | Meaning | | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | **Pending** | Step hasn't started. | | **In progress** | Step is being worked on. | | **Done** | Step is complete (and approved, if approval was required). |
