ITC-WP-0017 — AgenticDrivesFunctional PracticePattern

Goal

Name and document the practice of using agentic cross-repository work records as a flexible demand-discovery channel, then converting repeated, stable demand into direct functional service interfaces that reduce latency, token use, cost, and approval relays.

T01 — Define the practice

id: ITC-WP-0017-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "dc7f97f0-251c-5344-a951-12f66c58b71e"

Document the context, forces, solution, feedback dynamics, invariants, evidence, consequences, and failure modes. Preserve repository ownership and explicit third-party approval boundaries while making the direct-interface-first rule clear.

T02 — Register and publish the pattern

id: ITC-WP-0017-T02
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "ce2cb013-7f15-5818-b80b-0cb1f52ddaab"

Register the artifact and its relationship to InterfaceDeprecationStrangler, add it to the pattern catalog, refresh generated retrieval assets, and validate the canon.

Acceptance

• AgenticDrivesFunctional conforms to PracticePattern v0.1.
• The pattern distinguishes direct interfaces from cross-repo task routing.
• Repetition is treated as evidence for interface review, not an automatic mandate to build an interface.
• Interfaces preserve authorization, credential custody, and third-party approval boundaries.
• The pattern is registered, retrieval-visible, validated, committed, and synchronized.

Result

Completed 2026-08-22. The canon now carries the active AgenticDrivesFunctional PracticePattern, backed by Repo Manager's scoped identifier registrar as its first complete known use. The artifact is indexed, agent-retrievable, related to InterfaceDeprecationStrangler, and validated by the canon service and full test suite.

Out of scope

• Implementing a new service API, CLI, or MCP interface in a consumer repo.
• Defining one universal numeric threshold for interface extraction.
• Replacing agentic communication for novel, ambiguous, or exceptional work.
