A system-of-intent graph stores the decisions, requirements, constraints and dependencies that define what an organization is trying to build. Graph relationships connect those records to responsible roles, evidence, artifacts and later decisions.
For agent workflows, the graph can provide controlled context and route completed work to the next stakeholder. Changes to governing intent should be versioned and reviewed because one incorrect update can affect many downstream tasks.

Frequently asked questions
What does a system-of-intent graph contain?
It can contain goals, requirements, constraints, decisions, ownership, dependencies and links to supporting artifacts.
Why require approval for changes to governing intent?
Intent guides downstream work, so an unreviewed change can cause multiple people and agents to act on the wrong objective.
