# ArcheFlow Roadmap

## Completed

- [x] Core archetypes (7) with shadow detection
- [x] PDCA cycle engine with fast/standard/thorough workflows
- [x] Cross-cycle structured feedback with routing and resolution tracking
- [x] Attention filter enforcement in orchestration skill
- [x] Shadow detection with quantitative checklists
- [x] Orchestration metrics (timing, agent count, findings)
- [x] Autonomous mode integrated into orchestration flow
- [x] Plugin consolidation (single `archeflow/` directory)

## Future Features

### Web Dashboard
Real-time orchestration visualization via SSE/WebSocket. Infrastructure exists in `tool.archeflow/packages/web/` (routes, SSE, WebSocket, conflict resolution UI). Needs frontend implementation and connection to event store.

**Value:** Visual monitoring of long/overnight orchestrations, conflict resolution UI.
**Cost:** Medium — frontend work, hosting. Low incremental token cost.

### A2A Protocol (Agent-to-Agent)
Direct inter-agent negotiation during Check phase. Schemas defined in `tool.archeflow/packages/core/`. Currently agents communicate only through artifacts (files) — A2A would allow real-time back-and-forth (e.g., Guardian asking Maker to clarify a code choice before issuing verdict).

**Value:** Fewer full cycles needed — issues resolved within a phase.
**Cost:** High complexity. Risk of increased token usage if negotiations run long. Needs strict turn limits.

### GitHub Action Integration
CI-triggered orchestrations for automated PR review. Package exists at `tool.archeflow/packages/action/` with minimal implementation.

**Value:** Automated quality gates on every PR without manual orchestration.
**Cost:** Low implementation effort, but ongoing CI minutes cost. Best for high-value repos.
