# VaultysClaw Roadmap

**Philosophy**: Ship early, ship often. Build incrementally. Add complexity only when needed.

## Phase 1: MVP Foundation (Week 1-2) ✈️

**Goal**: Working prototype. Agents register, receive tasks, execute, return results.

- [ ] Dashboard shows connected agents

### Sprint 1.2: Agent Lifecycle

- [ ] Agent registration endpoint
- [ ] Health check heartbeat
- [ ] Simple policy distribution
- [ ] Basic intent execution endpoint
- [ ] Result collection

### Sprint 1.3: User Testing

- [ ] Documentation for first-time users
- [ ] CLI tools for manual testing
- [ ] Example agent configurations
- [ ] User feedback loop

## Phase 2: Security & P2P (Week 3-4) 🔒

**Goal**: Trust model works. P2P verification functional.

### Sprint 2.1: VaultysId Integration

- [ ] Generate identities at startup

### Sprint 2.2: Policy Signing

- [ ] Control plane signs policies with VaultysId
- [ ] Agents verify policy signatures
- [ ] Policy enforcement in intent execution
- [ ] Audit logging for all operations

### Sprint 2.3: Intent Verification

- [ ] Control plane signs intents
- [ ] Agents verify intent signatures
- [ ] Result signing by agents
- [ ] Control plane verifies results

## Phase 3: Orchestration & Automation (Week 5-6) 🎯

**Goal**: Run multi-agent workflows. Rules-based task distribution.

### Sprint 3.1: Workflow Engine

- [ ] Define workflow structure
- [ ] Task dependencies
- [ ] Conditional branches
- [ ] Error handling & retries

### Sprint 3.2: Multi-Agent Coordination

- [ ] Agent groups/teams
- [ ] Message passing between agents
- [ ] Load balancing
- [ ] Failover handling

### Sprint 3.3: UI Improvements

- [ ] Workflow visualization
- [ ] Real-time execution logs
- [ ] Performance metrics
- [ ] Error notifications

## Phase 4: Data Persistence (Week 7) 💾

**Goal**: Data survives restarts. Historical audit trail.

### Sprint 4.1: SQLite Schema

- [ ] Define schema for agents
- [ ] Policies table
- [ ] Execution history
- [ ] Audit logs

### Sprint 4.2: Migrations & Backups

- [ ] Migration system
- [ ] Database backups
- [ ] Data export/import
- [ ] Cleanup/archival

### Sprint 4.3: Analytics

- [ ] Basic dashboards
- [ ] Performance metrics
- [ ] Cost tracking (if using API LLMs)
- [ ] Usage reports

## Phase 5: Advanced Features (Week 8+) 🚀

**Goal**: Production-ready enterprise features.

### Sprint 5.1: Scaling

- [ ] Multi-control-plane support
- [ ] Agent clustering
- [ ] Load balancing
- [ ] High availability

### Sprint 5.2: Capabilities & Restrictions

- [ ] Fine-grained file access (directories)
- [ ] API endpoint whitelisting
- [ ] Rate limiting
- [ ] Resource quotas

### Sprint 5.3: Integration & Extensibility

- [ ] Webhook support
- [ ] Custom action plugins
- [ ] Third-party integrations (Slack, etc.)
- [ ] API marketplace

### Sprint 5.4: Observability

- [ ] Distributed tracing
- [ ] Metrics collection
- [ ] Alerting
- [ ] Monitoring dashboards

## Quick Wins (Do Anytime)

These can be done in parallel:

- [ ] Docker compose setup (dev environment)
- [ ] GitHub Actions CI/CD
- [ ] VS Code debug configuration
- [ ] OpenTelemetry instrumentation
- [ ] OpenAPI/Swagger docs
- [ ] Example agents library
- [ ] Agent SDK/NPM package
- [ ] Terraform/Pulumi templates

## Technology Decisions

### Locked In (Use These)

- pnpm workspaces
- TypeScript strict mode
- Next.js for control plane
- Express for agents
- Tailwind CSS for UI
- SQLite for persistence
- VaultysId for security

### Flexible (Decide Later)

- Testing framework (Jest, Vitest, Playwright)
- Database (SQLite → PostgreSQL for prod)
- Authentication (OAuth, API keys, etc.)
- Container orchestration (Docker, K8s)
- Message queue (optional, later)

## Success Criteria

### Phase 1

- [ ] Can register agent from UI
- [ ] Agent receives task, executes, returns result
- [ ] Dashboard shows agent status
- [ ] Docs clear enough for new user

### Phase 2

- [ ] P2P signature verification works
- [ ] Policy enforcement blocks unauthorized actions
- [ ] Audit log captures all operations
- [ ] Security review passed

### Phase 3

- [ ] Can define multi-step workflows
- [ ] Multi-agent coordination works
- [ ] UI shows workflow progress
- [ ] Performance acceptable (< 100ms latency)

### Phase 4

- [ ] Data persists across restarts
- [ ] Can query execution history
- [ ] Analytics dashboards work
- [ ] Backup/restore tested

### Phase 5

- [ ] Handles 1000+ agents
- [ ] < 5s end-to-end execution time
- [ ] 99.9% availability
- [ ] Passes security audit

## Iteration Cycle

Each sprint should:

1. **Plan** (1 day): What are we building?
2. **Build** (2-3 days): Code it
3. **Test** (1 day): Does it work?
4. **Demo** (0.5 day): Show users
5. **Iterate** (0.5 day): Feedback → backlog

## Metrics to Track

- Lines of code (should grow slowly)
- Test coverage (aim for 80%+ eventually)
- Response time (p95 latency)
- Reliability (uptime)
- User feedback (bugs, feature requests)

## Risk Mitigation

- **Risk**: VaultysId not ready → **Mitigation**: Mock implementation in phase 1, swap in phase 2
- **Risk**: SQLite limitations → **Mitigation**: Use TypeORM for easier migration
- **Risk**: Performance issues → **Mitigation**: Profile early, optimize late
- **Risk**: Security holes → **Mitigation**: Security review in phase 2, pen testing phase 4

## Community & Feedback

- Seek early users in phase 1
- Monthly updates with progress
- Open feedback channels
- Monthly demos/livestreams by phase 3

## How to Use This Roadmap

1. **Start Phase 1** - Focus on MVP
2. **Weekly check-ins** - Adjust based on learnings
3. **User testing** - Get feedback early and often
4. **Prioritize ruthlessly** - Only build what matters
5. **Ship incrementally** - Don't wait for perfection

Remember: **Ship early, ship often, gather feedback, iterate.**
