When we say that Anoma @anoma design is intent-centric what do we mean?

Now everyone who uses a blockchain has preferences when they interact with one another. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to interact at all over a blockchain in the first place. Given this, intents are the primary way for users to express their preferences in Anoma.

In Anoma architecture, an intent is a message sent by a user which expresses their preferences regarding the desired state of the system. The user defines the constraints of what the system can do instead of execution paths. Intents are realized through Anoma resource model. Unlike transactions, intents are partial. You can think of intents as partial transactions that require other direct or indirect parts as complements in order to form a final balanced transaction that satisfies all users’ constraints.
