## Remaining True Gaps (prioritized)
### Tier 1 — Quick Wins
### ~~Tier 1 — Quick Wins~~ (DONE — implemented 2026-02-07)
1. **`/think` command** — Toggle extended thinking/reasoning mode
2. **`/verbose` command** — Toggle verbose tool output display
3. **Typing indicators** — Discord, Slack, WhatsApp adapters could send typing indicators
4. **Session pruning** — Auto-cleanup old sessions by TTL
5. **Tool groups** — Syntactic sugar: `group:fs` → `[file.read, file.write, file.edit, file.list]`
All five Tier 1 items implemented: `!!think` prefix, `/verbose` command, typing indicators (Discord/WhatsApp), session pruning (TTL), tool groups. See `docs/plans/2026-02-07-tier1-quick-wins-design.md`.
### Tier 2 — Meaningful New Features
6. **Inbound webhooks** — HTTP endpoint that triggers agent processing
7. **Vector memory search** — Embed memory chunks, enable semantic retrieval
8. **Dockerfile** — Production container deployment
9. **Heartbeat** — Periodic self-check with optional notification
