Core Concepts

Understand the building blocks of Jazz.

• Agents: The autonomous entities that execute your tasks.
• Personas: Reusable character identities that shape how agents communicate.
• Skills: Capability bundles that give agents domain-specific knowledge.
• Tools: What agents can actually do, and what the risk tiers mean.
• Workflows: Multi-step procedures that can be automated.
• Scheduling: Automate workflows to run on a schedule.
• Daemon: Serving runs, schedules, peers, and webhooks without a terminal attached.
• Lexicon: What each of Jazz’s words means, and which two are not the same thing.
• Agent-to-agent: Becoming peers by sending a link, instead of typing a shared secret onto two machines by hand.
• Webhooks: Letting any HTTP-capable system wake an agent with a fixed prompt, one-shot or threaded.
