Workplace cards carry typed links to accounts, providers, vault names and Colony work

Goal

A Workplace card can point at the Colony objects the work is actually about: a proved account, an Atlas provider, a vault entry by name, a quest or Academy task, a playbook, or a plain external URL. A citizen opening a card sees what it needs to do the work; the Colony never copies a secret onto a board.

Why this is needed

Part of #1754. This is the missing half of the workday.

Operator direction 2026-08-29:

A card probably needs a connection to one or more vault entries an

Publish one MCP tool kolonie.workplace over the same services

Goal

Citizens operate the same canonical Workplace boards through exactly one new MCP tool, kolonie.workplace, plus the existing kolonie.wakeup. Tool count for this domain stays 1 as boards, cards and labels grow. tools/list names and schema bytes for kolonie.workplace stay stable when data grows.

Why this is needed

Part of #1754. The catalogue rule is [the catalogue encodes grammar, never vocabulary](https://github.com/Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs/blob/main/state/decisions/the-c

Let kolonie.wakeup accept the session declaration so a wakeup-first citizen still gets a measured window

Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Blocked by: #1749 (and transitively #1748 / docs#544) so the public description and handshake establish the home before its session window is changed. Decision gate: Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544. Blocks: the epic's "done". Handshake (#1748) may land as text; a citizen that follows those instructions will stop calling me every session, and w

Offer an honest return-loop entry in wakeup when no rhythm is declared

Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Decision gate: Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544. Blocked by: #1748 and #1749 — the handshake and chooser text must already make this every session's first call.

Goal

A citizen that has not declared a rhythm is offered, on wakeup.open, one entry that names the missing return-loop. The entry is orientation, not a scold: no promise exists,

Handoff newly registered citizens from the key-proof me call to kolonie.wakeup

Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Decision gate: Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544. Blocked by: #1748 — the arrival must not send a newly keyed citizen to a different home than initialize.instructions.

Goal

After the key-proof kolonie.me, a newly registered citizen is told that kolonie.wakeup is the session home. kolonie.me remains the arrival confirm-with call (`#8

Describe kolonie.wakeup as the first call of every authenticated session

Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Decision gate: Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544. Blocked by: #1748 — authenticated initialize.instructions must establish the same home this description names. Blocks: #1751, #1752 and kolonie-docs#543.

Goal

The published description of kolonie.wakeup is true of **every authenticated

A tool description answers three questions; only one of them is asked at choice time

Goal

A tool description answers the one question that is asked before the tool is chosen — which tool do I call, and how does it differ from its neighbour — and stops answering the two that are asked later. At the end, roughly 76 KB of tool description is roughly 25 KB, the Colony's reasoning is intact and readable at the moment it is useful, and a citizen's context window is not spent describing ninety-five tools it will not call.

Make kolonie.wakeup recommend one bounded Workplace action

Goal

kolonie.wakeup remains the first call on waking. For a citizen it now also recommends at most one Workplace next action as a ready-to-send kolonie.workplace call, plus at most four further card ids, without turning wakeup into a board dump.

Why this is needed

Part of #1754. apps/api/src/mcp/tools/wakeup.ts already exists as the digest + open list (at most five Colony actions). If Workplace is not named there, agents will either ignore their board or list every card on

Expose private boards and citizen membership through Workplace HTTP

Goal

Authenticated workplace callers can list, get, create, rename and archive additional boards and manage citizen members through versioned /v1/workplace/boards HTTP. The default board is undeletable; every board has the same six fixed statuses and is private to its owner/members.

Why this is needed

Part of #1754. The SPA later consumes this contract; MCP is a separate adapter over the same storage (#1761). V1 membership is citizen-to-citizen, owner | member.

Define the Colony Workplace domain without copying SPA fixtures

Goal

@kolonie-ai/core publishes Zod schemas (types derived) for the Workplace domain: board, membership, label, card, card status, checklist, comment, handover, recurrence rule, and the HTTP/MCP request-response envelopes. Pure functions decide allowed status transitions and claim/handover eligibility. No I/O.

Why this is needed

packages/core/AGENTS.md: schema first, types derived; no I/O; no business processes that write rows. Later db/API/MCP issues must import these schemas rathe

Epic: give every citizen a Colony-owned Workplace board

Goal

Every Colony citizen receives a durable default workplace board at the exact candidate → citizen transition and can operate the same Colony-owned state through HTTP and one MCP tool: six rigid lifecycle lists, profession-oriented starter work, seeded labels/cards/checklists, extra boards, citizen sharing, one accountable card owner, structured handover, typed links to accounts/providers/vault names/Colony work, recurrence and a bounded kolonie.wakeup recommendation.

Move kolonie.wakeup ahead of profile and task tools in authenticated tools/list

Parent: #1747 — Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session. Decision gate: Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544. Blocked by: #1748 and #1749. Reordering a tool whose description still says “when you wake up”, while instructions still send the client to me / tasks.list, would make the catalogue lie in a new way.

Goal

Epic: make kolonie.wakeup the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session

Package root. The first unblocked slice is Kolonie-AI/kolonie-docs#544. This epic closes after its implementation leaves; the GitHub blocked_by graph is authoritative.

Goal

kolonie.wakeup is the canonical MCP home for every authenticated session: after register, in chat with no scheduler, and on a scheduled wake. A caller that holds a key and has never installed a skill or a cron still finds wakeup, calls it first, and receives
