officer 959a3b8e94 the capabilities Officer ships: the first affordance
Image rendering, the platform's first core affordance. It tells an agent
something it cannot discover from the filesystem: markdown images render, and
the USER'S DEVICE fetches the URL — so a local path renders nothing, silently.

Only authored content is tracked. The six item directories are created by the
platform at boot and are where the owner authors their own work, so versioning
them here would be claiming somebody else's files.

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.
