Standard component for optimal delegation

Translate features into precise component words so the agent has fewer gaps to guess into.

Compare two instructions:

“Make it so people can invite teammates.”

The agent fills every gap with a guess — where the rule lives, what happens at the limit, whether there’s an event, how you read the state back afterwards. You get a thing, and then you have to reverse-engineer what it decided.

Now compare it with this:

“Add an InviteTeammate command on the Workspace aggregate. It enforces the seat-limit and no-duplicate invariants, emits TeammateInvited on success, and is refused otherwise. Expose remaining seats as a query.”

Almost no gaps left to guess into. Every word is a standard that has a reality living within the code, that the agent can reference for implementation.

When we cross from a discovered solution into delivery, functional design is the step where every feature is translated into exactly these words: which aggregate, which commands, which events, which queries.

That translation is only possible because, by then, you share the language. The events you learned to name here — TeammateInvited, the facts the system emits — are the thread we pick up in Module 5, where parts of the system start reacting to one another.
