Departments
Each department owns a part of the company and groups the agents, context, rules, tasks, and artifacts for that area.

- Sales for go-to-market and customer-facing revenue work
- Marketing for SEO and marketing-site work

Inside A Department
A department contains:
- Agents for the work that belongs in that lane
- Tasks for the active and completed work tied to those agents
- Department Rules for instructions that should apply across that department
- Department Context for durable background information that agents in that department should share
- Artifacts/Files for outputs and working files created by that department's work
Files in the Library still need a department association, even though every agent can access every Library file. The department acts as a routing hint, not an access boundary.
Department Rules
Department rules are for instructions that should apply to every agent in that department.
Examples:
- how the department should prioritize work
- what quality bar matters
- what to avoid
- what counts as done
Department Context
Department context is for background information that should be shared across agents in that department.
Examples:
- product constraints for Engineering
- audience and positioning notes for Sales or Marketing
- reporting definitions for Ops
- billing and close process notes for Finance
My Agents
My Agents is the catch-all department for agents you create yourself.
