.voss preserved as the workflow-control language. The current roadmap extends that base with memory, TUI, codebase intelligence, and richer agent capabilities.
Phase order
| Phase | Name | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| M0 | Scope Lock | Align planning docs around harness-led v0.1 |
| M1 | Harness Happy Path | Make voss doctor, voss do, and voss edit usable on a real repo |
| M2 | Project Cognition | Persist project-local memory, plans, decisions, sessions, and validation state |
| M3 | Language Validation | Prove .voss workflows check, compile, and run as AI workflow control |
| M4 | Voss-authored Harness Loop | Dogfood the harness loop through .voss files |
| M5 | Eval and Distribution Prep | Track quality and prepare packaging after Python harness usage is proven |
| M6 | npm Wrapper | Ship @vosslang/cli with vendored Python 3.12 and the Voss wheel |
| M7 | SDK Polish | Stabilize the public Python embedding surface |
| M8 | Project Memory | Add VOSS.md, .voss/memory, recall, save, forget, and memory maintenance commands |
| M9 | TUI Shell | Add the Textual interface, permission modals, slash palette, budget view, and session forking |
| M10 | Codebase Intelligence | Add code search, symbol lookup, references, project index, and TUI code panel |
Current direction
The harness is the product surface users feel first. The language is the durable control layer. Python remains the canonical implementation path; npm distribution vendors that Python harness rather than reimplementing it in JavaScript.Deferred work
The following work is strategically relevant but deferred from the first proof loop:- Rust as the canonical harness shell
- MCP bridge before M12
- Tree-sitter grammar
- VS Code marketplace release
- GitHub Linguist upstream PR
- Broad telemetry
- Hosted team features
- Web UI
- Homebrew distribution
Distribution work should not claim more safety, maturity, or language completeness than the harness currently proves.
