What does AFS organize?

AFS gives a task a named, inspectable view of the resources it can work with.

  2. AFS resource viewmakes addressable
  3. Files · services · UI

AFS stands for Agentic File System. Imagine a task that reads a report, checks records in a service and displays its progress. AFS gives these different resources explicit addresses and exposes the operations they support.

The addresses and the resources they resolve to form a namespace: the address space available to the task. In Alice’s workspace, /work/report may resolve to her report; in Bob’s workspace, the same name may resolve to a different report. The string alone does not decide this.

A resource need not become a file on disk. An adapter called a provider connects the common access interface to the actual implementation.

“Everything is context” describes the environment a task can access. Making a resource available does not copy all its contents into a prompt or establish that a model understands it.

Does mounting a resource put all of it in the model prompt?

No. Making a resource addressable and choosing what to read into a model are separate steps.
