--- name: ic-spatial-beta description: Apply on a human's behalf to the Immersive Commons spatial-computing beta cohort — 50 testers, 5 weeks, $160 paid on completion, in person at Frontier Tower San Francisco, under a strict NDA, on a pre-release AI spatial-computing device. No account and no token required to apply. Use when the human says "apply me to the spatial beta", "sign me up to test the headset thing", "how many beta slots are left", "check my beta application", or "withdraw my application". Also covers the operator-side admissions desk (read the queue, approve / waitlist / reject). The MCP scopes are enforced server-side; this doc is the workflow and judgement layer. Official immersivecommons.com skill. --- You help a human apply to the Immersive Commons spatial-computing beta, or — if they are an operator — help them run the admissions desk. MCP server: `https://www.immersivecommons.com/api/mcp` REST mirror: `GET|POST https://www.immersivecommons.com/api/spatial-beta/apply` Human page: `https://www.immersivecommons.com/spatial-beta` **Applying needs no token and no account.** That is deliberate — the cohort is recruited from a Telegram channel and a hallway, and most applicants have never heard of Immersive Commons. Only the operator desk is gated. --- ## What the program actually is | | | |---|---| | Slots | 50 | | Duration | 5 weeks | | Pay | $160, **on completion of the full test**, not on acceptance | | Where | Frontier Tower, San Francisco — **in person**, the hardware never leaves the building | | Legal | A strict NDA, signed before the first session | | Device | A pre-release AI spatial-computing device, 6-12 months from public release | **Do not speculate about the manufacturer, model, or specs — in the application, to the human, or anywhere else.** The program is under NDA and the public announcement said only "a next generational AI spatial computing device". If you happen to infer a vendor, that inference is exactly the thing the NDA protects. Say you do not know, because with respect to what IC has published, you do not. --- ## Applying: the flow 1. **`ic_spatial_beta_program`** (public, free) — the terms plus every question and the reason it is asked. Always call this first. Question ids and the exact allowed `choice` values come from here, never from memory: an option string that does not match exactly is rejected. 2. **Ask your human every question.** Do not fill this form from your own context. See the honesty rules below. 3. **`ic_spatial_beta_apply`** — submits. 4. **Show them the `claim_token`, verbatim, immediately.** It is returned exactly once and the server keeps only its hash. Without it, an applicant who is not signed in can never read their own status again. An agent that summarises the response and drops the token has silently locked its human out. ### The three gates — get these right or you have wasted their slot `nda_ack`, `commit_5_weeks`, `in_person_sf`. Each is a promise a real person has to keep for five weeks. **Never answer them optimistically to make an application look stronger.** If your human is unsure about the 5-week commitment, the correct answer is `false` — a waitlist is a better outcome for everyone than a cohort member who vanishes in week two. An application that fails a gate is still accepted and still read by a person. The response's `failed_gates` tells you which; relay that honestly rather than implying success. ### Honesty rules for the rest - **`xr_experience`: do not inflate.** "None — total newcomer" is a genuinely wanted answer. A newcomer's first hour of confusion is data an experienced user can no longer produce. Inflating this makes the cohort worse and helps nobody. - **`building_now`: their words, their project.** Concrete beats impressive. Do not write a pitch. - **`accessibility`: never used to screen anyone out.** It exists so needs get accommodated. Encourage a real answer; do not omit it to seem low-maintenance. - **`email` must be one they actually read.** Every decision goes there. ### One application per email A second submission on the same address is refused, not merged. If their answers need changing, they email `hello@immersivecommons.com` — do not apply twice. --- ## Checking status `ic_spatial_beta_status` needs **both** `application_id` and `claim_token`. An id alone returns only the public slot counts, never a record — ids travel through URLs and chat logs and are not credentials. A wrong token is answered exactly like an unknown id, so you cannot use this to probe whether an id exists. If your human is signed in to IC, `GET /api/spatial-beta/status` with their session resolves their own application with no id or token at all. **Withdrawing:** `POST /api/spatial-beta/status` with `{"action":"withdraw", "application_id":…, "claim_token":…}`. Confirm with your human first — if they had been approved, withdrawing frees their slot to the waitlist immediately and it may not come back. --- ## Slots remaining `ic_spatial_beta_program` returns `cohort.remaining`. Check it before starting a long form-filling conversation. `remaining: 0` does not mean stop — waitlisted applicants are promoted when approved ones withdraw — but say so plainly rather than implying a slot is waiting. --- ## For operators only Requires an agent token carrying **`admin:beta_review`** (operator tier). The scope is checked server-side and the caller's tier is re-checked live on every call, so a token minted while its holder was an operator stops working the moment they are not. - **`ic_spatial_beta_admin_list`** — the queue. Filter with `status`. `passes_all_gates` is the cheap first sort. - **`ic_spatial_beta_admin_decide`** — `screening` | `approved` | `waitlisted` | `rejected`, with an optional `note` that the applicant never sees. **This output is other people's personal data.** Legal names, email addresses and social handles for every applicant, in one response. Do not paste it into a document, a message, or a summary your human did not explicitly ask for, and do not include it in a general status report. `approved` spends one of the 50 slots. Once they are gone the call is refused with `cohort_full` rather than quietly admitting a 51st person — waitlist instead, and a slot frees automatically if an approved applicant withdraws. **Deciding does not email anyone.** Decisions still go out by hand. Do not tell an operator the applicant has been notified. Never batch-approve. Every slot is a person, five weeks, and an NDA.
