OpenIntent & Intent Primitive
Turn a company request into a structured intent with boundaries, criteria, and proof.
The Intent Primitive is the smallest unit of governed company work in Niyatna.
It turns a request like “prepare the finance recap” or “review this customer handoff” into a structured intent the company system can route, assign, evaluate, remember, and prove.
OpenIntent packet
An OpenIntent packet defines:
- Goal: The company outcome to produce.
- Requester: Who asked and what role or access scope they have.
- Context: SOPs, source materials, prior decisions, or relevant memory.
- Permissions: What the system can read, write, schedule, or escalate.
- Assignee path: Human, agent, or mixed workflow.
- Constraints: Time, risk, privacy, budget, and tool boundaries.
- Acceptance criteria: Conditions that must be true for the work to count as done.
- Proof standard: Evidence and report-back format.
The value: preventing drift
AI agents can produce useful work, but unbounded instructions drift. OpenIntent anchors execution to the company request, the allowed scope, and the evidence required before the work is accepted.
The intent stays human-owned. Agents and tools are routed around it.
