Build capability.
Preserve responsibility.

Third-party capabilities can expand what Tony understands and can do—without dissolving authority, context, or accountability.

Why build for Tony

More than another
integration layer.

The developer contributes capability. Tony preserves the relationship around human intention, authority, orchestration, and continuity.

01 / Direct integration

Connection without a shared responsibility.

External capabilityAction

A system may expose possibility without declaring why it should act, who allowed it, or how the outcome becomes known.

02 / Governed capability

Capability enters through a legible boundary.

  1. 01External capability
  2. 02Declared purpose
  3. 03Authority boundary
  4. 04Tony responsibility
  5. 05Action
  6. 06Observation

Capability contract

Every extension needs a legible boundary.

A capability should be able to describe its role without claiming identity or authority. These are architectural concepts, not a published schema.

Conceptual direction — not SDK field names
Capability ContractConcept model
  1. 01
    What I can do

    The bounded capability being offered.

  2. 02
    What I need

    Only the conditions required to perform the responsibility.

  3. 03
    What I can observe

    The state the capability can reliably report.

  4. 04
    What consequences I can create

    The changes an authorized action could make.

  5. 05
    What authority I require

    The human permission that must exist before action.

  6. 06
    Where I can run

    The environment where the capability may participate.

  7. 07
    What fallback constraints apply

    How responsibility returns safely when execution cannot continue.

  8. 08
    What state I return

    The evidence Tony needs to reconcile intention with outcome.

Governed flow

From declared purpose
to reconciled outcome.

Participation is a sequence of responsibility. Possibility enters first; authority, action, and observation remain distinct.

  1. 01

    Declare

    Purpose / capability

    The extension makes its role legible.

  2. 02

    Request

    Context + authority

    Only what this responsibility needs.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    Fit / scope / consequence

    Tony checks the boundary before action.

  4. 04

    Execute

    Authorized work

    The capability performs within that boundary.

  5. 05

    Observe

    State / outcome

    The capability reports what actually happened.

  6. 06

    Reconcile

    Intended vs observed

    Tony closes the loop or returns for correction.

Minimum meaningful context

Enough meaning.
Not everything Tony knows.

A capability should receive the minimum meaningful context needed for its responsibility. Relevance should be designed before breadth.

Privacy-aware principle demonstration — not a finalized production data flow
TONYRelevant context
Provide

Creator cue X occurred.

Specific meaning relevant to the assigned responsibility.

Withhold

Unrelated project history.

Raw microphone, full conversation history, and unrelated project data are not included by default.

Authority boundary

Capability does not create authority.

A capability reporting “I can publish” describes possibility. It does not mean Tony is authorized to publish. Human authority remains separate and primary.

Available≠Authorized
Human authorityPrimary
AvailableCapability exists
AllowedAuthority is present
Ask firstHuman decision required
DeniedAction cannot proceed
Approval requiredConsequence needs confirmation
RevokedPrior authority no longer applies

Observation / closed loop

Action is not completion.

Acceptance is only an intermediate state. Tony needs observable evidence before an intended outcome can be treated as complete.

  1. 01Command issued
  2. 02Capability accepts
  3. 03Observed state
  4. 04Verified outcome

Publish request accepted≠Publicly available

Recording request accepted≠Media being written

SDK / Early direction

A foundation is being designed, not documented.

Public SDK documentation and production APIs are not available yet. The direction is a clear capability model with explicit authority, scoped context, testable behavior, and observable outcomes.

Marketplace / Future direction

Discovery should not bypass governance.

A future Marketplace may help people discover compatible capabilities. Participation, review, distribution, and commercial terms remain undefined.

Open ecosystem

Different capabilities.
The same Tony.

Tony should be able to use different capabilities without becoming a different Tony. First-party, third-party, and future systems can participate without owning the intelligence or the relationship.
