The third intake offered "Ship the 28 commits now (Recommended)" and it was exactly what the owner wanted — and it was a task, not an arrangement. Pick it, the work happens well, and nothing is armed at the end. The option said nothing about that, so the way you find out is a tag going unnoticed the next day. A commander exists to end up watching something, so a one-off is never an option by itself: it is the first half of one, and the second half is what it leaves running. "Ship these now, then arm the watcher" against "just arm it, they go with the next tag" offers the same work and makes the difference visible. Wanting only the one-off is still a fine answer. It just has to be chosen knowingly — "then I am not a commander, just an agent that did a job" — rather than by accident. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Officer capabilities
The file-based store Officer reads agent items from. This repository holds the ones the platform ships; everything else in this directory is yours.
affordances/officer/core/ ← shipped here
skills/ tools/ tasks/ processes/ extensions/ agents/
Those six directories are created by the platform at boot and are where you and your agents author
items. They are deliberately not tracked here — your work is not ours to version. extensions/tool-loader
is written by the platform from its own source and will reappear if you delete it.
Affordances
An affordance is what the surface on the other end of the conversation offers the agent: what the client will render, accept or ignore. Not what the agent can do — what it will get away with.
The platform compiles every affordance into one block and appends it to each agent session, so an agent
knows things it could not otherwise discover from the filesystem. plugins/CLAUDE.md in the platform is
the authority on the format and on what belongs in one.
Layout is <publisher>/<plugin>/, with core in the plugin slot for the platform's own. A plugin ships
its own affordances/ directory and installing it copies them in.
Updating
git pull, or press Update all on the platform's marketplace screen, which updates this alongside
every installed plugin.
Your own untracked items are unaffected by either.
