AGIF Tasklet Cells
AGIF Tasklet Cells define a local artifact model built around contracts, a runner, and a verifier pack.
Tasklet Cells define a software artifact model for embedding small, bounded intelligence features inside native applications. A Tasklet Cell is single-task, contract-driven, and self-verifying: it carries defined inputs and outputs, a local Runner, and a built-in Verifier Pack that must pass before execution is allowed.
Tasklet Cells are designed for local execution, explicit resource limits, and fail-closed behavior. They are intended for systems that need bounded software actions rather than open-ended agent behavior.
Definition
Tasklet Cells are packaged software artifacts for specific bounded functions inside a host application or local system.
Tasklet Cells are not a general chatbot layer and not a remote AI service. They are packaged software artifacts for specific functions inside a host application or local system.
This model shifts the emphasis from AI as a service to AI as a verifiable local artifact, with the host application staying in control of when and how the Cell is loaded, verified, and run.
Core model
Tasklet Cells combine packaging, execution, and verification inside one bounded artifact model.
The Cell bundle packages the task itself. It contains the declared task boundary, input and output schemas, integrity metadata, and the logic required to perform the task.
A canonical .cell package may include a manifest, hash records, input and output schemas,
verifier tests, executable logic, and notices for bundled dependencies.
The Runner is the enforcement wall. It loads the Cell, validates the bundle structure, checks integrity, enforces local execution policy, and applies explicit step, memory, time, and output limits.
A Cell is treated as untrusted until the Runner has verified it under the declared rules.
The Verifier Pack is the built-in conformance layer. It checks contract shape, expected outputs, and required behavior against shipped golden tests.
This keeps the Cell tied to a declared task boundary rather than allowing open-ended or drifting behavior.

Execution scope
Execution remains local, contract-bound, and reviewable.
Cells execute inside a host application or local system, not as a mandatory cloud service.
Schema contracts define the system boundary. Inputs must match the declared structure, and outputs must return in the expected form.
Replay and observability belong to the operating model. A local system should be able to inspect what was invoked, what was returned, and where a block or failure occurred.
A per-user layer may exist within explicit local constraints, but the core Cell remains immutable and conformance-gated.

Distinction
Tasklet Cells combine packaging, execution, and verification inside one bounded artifact model.
The design is not just a plugin format, a local model runtime, a sandbox, or a test suite.
It is the combination of all four inside one artifact and one enforcing runtime boundary.
The host application is not expected to trust the feature blindly. The Runner must validate it locally first.
Research sequence
Tasklet Cells sit between ENF constraint thinking, the broader AGIF architecture, the software-first fabric path, and applied local product systems.
Within the ENFSystems research line, Tasklet Cells translate ENF-style constraints into software artifacts for native applications.
AGIF remains the broader research architecture. Tasklet Cells provide the bounded task-unit layer inside that architecture.
AGIF Fabric is the software-first local intelligence fabric track above bounded task units. It focuses on cells, tissues, lifecycle, memory, routing, and authority rather than replacing the bounded Tasklet model.
CellPOS is the applied system in this sequence. ENF defines the foundation, Tasklet Cells define the bounded task-unit model, AGIF Fabric defines the broader software-first coordination direction, and CellPOS applies the path in a local restaurant point-of-sale system.
Tasklet Cells serve as the bridge between low-level constraint thinking, bounded local software execution, and product-level application behavior.

Scope
The public scope is specific to the artifact model and its local execution rules.
Practical use
This makes the model useful for systems that need local execution with strong review boundaries rather than open-ended remote orchestration.
Public records
Tasklet Cells are documented as part of the AGIF research line and connect directly to the broader ENF to AGIF to AGIF Fabric to applied-systems sequence.
