Improvement Roadmap

A practical priority view over the current backlog.

Now

These are the highest-leverage next improvements.

1. Fix subagent reliability and completion-event spam handling

   • Why now: it directly affects trust, delegation reliability, and daily usability.
   • Related task: task-20260304-2215-subagent-reliability

2. Add eval / regression harness for core assistant behavior

   • Why now: prevents regressions in memory recall, messaging, search routing, and subagent behavior.
   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-eval-harness

3. Add calendar access/backend for proactive scheduling help

   • Why now: biggest functional capability gap and prerequisite for the calendar-first daily brief direction.
   • Related task: task-20260311-1908-calendar-access

4. Add monitoring / alert ingestion

   • Why now: improves signal routing so important failures reach attention without manual checking.
   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-alert-ingestion

5. Add standard operating playbooks for recurring workflows

   • Why now: converts repeated ad-hoc ops/debugging into consistent, low-noise workflows.
   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-operating-playbooks

Soon

Strong follow-ups once the Now layer is healthier.

1. Add email/inbox access for triage and briefing

   • Related task: task-20260311-1908-email-access

2. Add meeting-prep / briefing pipeline

   • Depends partly on calendar/docs access.
   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-meeting-prep-pipeline

3. Improve notification routing policy

   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-notification-routing

4. Add local RAG over docs and manuals

   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-local-docs-rag

5. Add broader personal document/search corpus

   • Related task: task-20260311-1908-doc-search-corpus

6. Add local code search / indexing across more repos

   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-local-code-indexing

7. Add change / audit log for external actions

   • Related task: task-20260311-1917-external-action-audit-log

Later

Useful, but lower urgency or more dependent on other foundations.

• stronger GitHub tooling
• Google Workspace access
• local OCR / PDF extraction
• notes-system connector
• structured data connectors
• package / update intelligence
• dependency / credential inventory
• safer sandboxed execution helpers
• stronger local media pipeline
• lightweight decision log
• lightweight people-context layer
• Home Assistant / smart-home integration
• password-manager / secret lookup integration (high trust surface; do carefully)
• council personality depth / council naming revisit

Guiding principle

Prefer improvements that increase:

• reliability
• trust
• signal quality
• repeatability
• leverage across many workflows

Prefer lower priority for:

• shiny integrations with narrow payoff
• high-trust additions without clear need
• tools that add maintenance burden before they add daily value
