Agent environment

Also called: environment (AI agent), agent's environment, agent workspace, the agent's world

Everything outside the agent's own software that it can look at or change: your files, terminal, browser, databases and connected services. The agent knows this world only through what its tools report back, so a tidy, clearly labeled project helps it work better. This is a different idea from a staging or production environment.

For example: An agent can only fix a broken checkout if its environment includes the code and a way to run the tests.
