Ideas & Wishlist

This is an open list

Have an idea? Open an issue or submit a PR adding it here. Nothing is too wild at this stage.

Big Ideas

These would change how the project works fundamentally.

Plugin / Module System

Each partition type becomes a self-contained module with its own preflights, workers, and DAL. Register modules explicitly:

modules := []Module{repo.New(), analytics.New(), notifications.New()}

Same pattern as Linux loadable modules or PHP extensions. See internal/application/README.md for the design sketch.

Rule Engine for AI Dispatch

Configurable rules that decide when to launch an AI agent:

• Issue has label ai
• Comment contains @bot
• PR has no reviewers after 24h
• New issue matches a pattern

Multi-Agent Support

Different AI tools for different tasks. ra-aid for code fixes, a custom script for triage, Ollama for analysis. The executor layer should be pluggable.

Org-Level Partitions

Today the unit of work is a repository. But some tasks make sense at the org level — cross-repo analytics, org-wide triage, dependency scanning.

Smaller Ideas

Things that would be nice to have.

• Adaptive polling — back off when repos are quiet, speed up when active (#53)
• Comment polling — watch for @bot mentions, not just issues
• PR polling — track pull requests, not just issues
• Webhook mode — optional webhook receiver for instant reaction (polling as fallback)
• Web dashboard — simple status page showing what the daemon is doing
• Docker image — official image for easy deployment
• Notification channels — Slack, Telegram, Discord when agent completes a task
• Dry-run mode — show what the agent would do without actually doing it
• Cost tracking — track API calls and AI token usage per repo

longrun Package Ideas

The pkg/longrun package is designed for extraction into a standalone module. Ideas for it:

• DependsOn — runner.Add(task, longrun.DependsOn("migrate")) for task ordering
• Circuit breaker per TransientRule — open/half-open/closed state machine
• Health endpoint — expose task status via HTTP for external monitoring
• Metrics dashboard — Grafana template for longrun metrics

See the longrun Roadmap for the package-specific roadmap.

This list is intentionally broad. Not everything here will be built, and that's fine. The point is to capture directions and invite discussion.
