Work Is the Coordination Medium

Humans and AI do not coordinate by re-explaining the organization in conversation. They coordinate through durable Work.

Work is the common unit of activity that carries objective, context, and state — so humans and AI can hand off without losing continuity.

What Work Contains

Field	Meaning
Ownership	Who is responsible. Every Work has a human owner, even when an agent is executing a subtask.
Participants	Human, Twin, Spine Agents involved — each with identity and authority.
Objective	What business objective or outcome this Work serves.
Context	The Business Context slice and Active Context Bundle it is grounded in.
State	Current state and history (created → assigned → in-progress → awaiting approval → executed → verified → closed).
Evidence	What proves what actually happened — receipts, verification, reconciliation.
Dependencies	What this Work depends on and what depends on it.
Outcomes	What was achieved, with what evidence, reconciled to what Spine update.
Handoffs	Governed transfers between human, Twin, and agents — with full context, not a summary.

Work Owns the Thread

• A Work thread carries communication — messages, agent updates, Twin reasoning — all scoped to the Work and the Business Context it belongs to.
• A Work handoff moves state and evidence, not just text. The next participant hydrates from the Work object and the Spine, not from a pasted transcript.
• Closing Work is not a UI action. It is a verified Spine update with projection invalidation and rehydration.

Human / AI Participation

Pattern	How it works
Human owns, Twin assists	Twin assembles context, proposes plan, drafts approval; human decides.
Human delegates to agent	Agent takes a subtask with its own continuity and authority; posts evidence back to Work.
Agent → agent handoff	Second agent hydrates from same Work + Business Context; no re-briefing.
Agent → human return	Human reviews agent evidence, verifies, and closes or iterates.

All governed. All auditable.
