# Rangoon: Inspectable AI Capabilities

> Rangoon is an active-development workspace for examining the parts of an AI capability before a team plans deployment. It keeps profiles, skills, workflows, connector operations, model targets, tests, and versioned artifacts visible as related engineering records rather than treating a prompt or tool list as a complete system description.

## Engineering relevance

AI systems change through combinations of instructions, data context, tools, models, and operating constraints. A team needs a reviewable representation of those combinations before it can assess compatibility, testing needs, ownership, and the limits of a proposed deployment.

## A capability is more than a prompt

A useful capability record needs to describe the pieces that affect behavior: an agent profile, instructions, selected skills, permitted connector operations, context requirements, model targets, tests, and versioned artifacts. Rangoon is being developed to make those relationships inspectable in one workspace.

The goal is not to imply that every configured component is compatible or available. The public Rangoon interfaces are design evidence with illustrative data. They show an interaction model for examining composition and change, not a functioning runtime or verified connector compatibility.

## Composition, execution, and governance answer different questions

Composition asks what a capability contains and how its dependencies fit together. Execution describes the planned path from that composed capability to a target, including the test evidence a team expects to review. Governance records compatibility, policy requirements, provenance, and version relationships that need attention before deployment planning.

Keeping these views separate prevents a common shortcut: treating a connected tool, selected model, or successful demonstration as proof that a capability is ready for every environment. A compatible target remains planning evidence until the relevant configuration, constraints, and tests are reviewed for the intended use.

## An illustrative review scenario

Consider a team preparing an internal research assistant that can retrieve approved documents and draft a comparison for a reviewer. In an illustrative Rangoon record, the team could examine the profile, retrieval skill, document-source constraints, selected model target, expected inputs and outputs, evaluation cases, and the version of each component before proposing a deployment plan.

That inspection can expose practical questions early: which source records are permitted, which evaluation cases cover missing or conflicting context, who owns a connector change, and whether a different model target changes the expected behavior. The scenario is an architecture example, not a claim that a hosted assistant, connector, or deployment is available.

## Capability composition does not create execution authority

Rangoon describes what a capability is configured to request and how its dependencies can be reviewed. It does not convert a connector, model target, or workflow into a blanket right to take consequential action. That boundary matters when a capability progresses from planning or analysis to an external effect.

LNSAT is the separate pre-release authorization and evidence layer for evaluating one exact consequential request. Rangoon can make the capability and its planned path legible; LNSAT addresses whether a bounded request has the required policy outcome, scoped approval where applicable, and evidence for the observed result.
