Modules & Actions
Each Mindfront has a unique set of modules associated with it. Modules let jobs observe and act through the systems that already run your business.
Modules
A module declares three things: actions Mindfront can call, skills it can read, and business events that can start work.
Anatomy of a module
Each module is typically associated with one tool or software platform used within your Mindfront. All three parts are optional: a module that only reports events is as valid as one that only offers actions.
Mindfront is continuously developing new integrations based on customer requests and market demands.
Your business can also build its own modules for use in Mindfront via Mindfront Fiber.
Actions
Actions are Mindfront’s fundamental means of interacting with the outside world, with each module providing a collection of actions associated with its functionality.
Example actions for one of our email modules:
- Search Email
- Check Inbox
- Send Email
- Read Email
Every action declares its own risk level, and that declaration chooses the gate it passes through: straight execution, a machine check, a human approval, or refusal. A module cannot widen its own permissions. See risk gating for the full model.
Skills
An action is something Mindfront calls. A skill is something Mindfront reads: a written procedure the module owns, in the open Agent Skills format.
Mindfront holds every skill’s name and description at all times and loads the body only when it commits to work that skill covers. That is what lets a skill carry a whole procedure, with the detail an action description could never afford.
Skills arrived in Fiber v5. Modules written against earlier versions keep working untouched.
Business events
A module can report that something happened in the system it fronts: an email arrived, a record changed, a build finished. Mindfront drains those events and its decision engine judges whether work should follow. An event is not a job. It becomes one only when the decision engine, or a matching standing order, says so.
