Op
A single tool-native command a target composes (long form: operation); the middle of the work hierarchy (Spell to Op to Target). Op in full.
CI
An ordinary target you compose yourself with ctx.needs; magus does not hardcode its stages. It is the anchor magus affected ci keys off, and ci strips the rw charm. CI in full.
Knowledge graph
The queryable graph of a workspace's spells, targets, docs, and code relationships; query it with magus query/explain/path. Knowledge graph in full.
Agent
A model working through an agent host such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. magus treats an agent as one more caller of its CLI, MCP tools and console, held to the same checks as a person. Agent in full.
Session
An agent host's conversation, by the id the host delivers to its hooks. magus never mints one: a record with no session is unattributed, and the OS user it carries says whose account ran it. Session in full.
Attention request
A durable record that an agent is blocked, opened by a magus session notify event and held until a person disposes it. Nothing closes one on its own. Attention request in full.
Dispose
The human act of closing an attention request: a judgment rendered, recorded with who and why. Distinct from resolving a review thread or a merge conflict: a disposition answers a request; it does not merge anything. Dispose in full.
Lease
The grant a holder takes on a job: the write and read paths that job declared, enforced in the checkout that took it with magus job exec. A job is the piece of work; a lease is permission over it. Lease in full.
