Objective

Build Tess, a long-running Pi-native GPT-5.6 Sol interaction agent complementary to Mos. Tess is Jason’s primary Discord and CLI entry point for Mosaic fleet/Hermes interaction and the migration bridge toward native Mosaic capabilities.

Scope

  • Agent-runtime provider contract for sessions, streaming, messaging, termination, hierarchy, and attachment
  • Pi-native Tess agent profile/service with GPT-5.6 Sol high reasoning
  • Dedicated Discord channel binding and CLI interaction/attach
  • Mosaic fleet and Mos coordination tools
  • Transitional Hermes adapter for sessions, agents, Kanban, skills, memory, tools, and cron
  • Native memory/state/inbox/runtime-contract plugin foundation
  • RBAC, approvals, audit, correlation IDs, observability, and recovery
  • tmux transport now; Matrix/native Mosaic transport behind replaceable adapters

Hard boundaries

  • Mos remains orchestration authority; Tess must not become a competing orchestrator
  • Mosaic is the enterprise AI hub; Hermes is a reference migration adapter, never the platform core
  • Gateway remains the single API surface
  • No secrets in source or durable handoffs
  • PRD and traceable tasks required before implementation

Acceptance gate

A dedicated Discord channel and mosaic tess CLI connect to the same durable Tess session; Tess can inspect/message/attach to fleet sessions, coordinate with Mos, expose approved Hermes capabilities through adapters, survive restart/compaction, and pass independent security/code review plus end-to-end tests.
