Message Artifact

The message artifact represents a communication artifact from a user, channel, or system. Use messages when chat or channel content should be part of the workspace record.

When To Use This Kind​

  • Choose this kind when the artifact's meaning matches the operational object, not merely because of a file extension.
  • Attach source or rendered files as blobs when the artifact has file-backed content.
  • Link this artifact to sources, outputs, operations, and related context so reviewers can follow the evidence chain.

Data Contract​

Kind data contract: MessageData with fields source, markdown.

Common artifact fields still apply: title, summary, status, visibility, metadata, blobs, links, and events.

Review Checklist​

  • Confirm the artifact kind matches what the team needs to review.
  • Check available blobs before assuming source or rendered content exists.
  • Follow links to understand provenance and downstream outputs.
  • Review events for creation, updates, renders, tool work, and failures.

Media To Add​

  • Screenshot: message artifact detail page with kind data, blobs, links, and events labeled. It helps readers understand how this artifact appears in the app. Source: sample workspace artifact of this kind.
