# roadmap

Making the agent smarter, more autonomous, and more fun

This is the whole plan, in order. Have an opinion on the priorities? Say so in Discussions — that's how most of this list got written.

Underneath, the session sync engine and V2 session core are rolling out. They're the plumbing that makes everything below possible.

  • Multi-agent pipelines: one agent plans, one codes, one reviews
  • Automatic agent selection based on prompt intent

Agents that remember

4 items
  • Repo convention learning: the agent picks up your codebase's style and sticks to it
  • Compounding memory: every session teaches the next one
  • Memory introspection: ask the agent why it believes something and where it learned it
  • Cross-session recall: "do it like we did in that auth refactor last month"
Next

Agents that check their work

5 items
  • Test-aware refactor loops: change, run, verify, repeat until green
  • Confidence scoring: the agent tells you when it is guessing
  • bolt review --staged / --branch: one-shot AI diff review with exit codes
  • bolt commit: commit messages you don't have to rewrite
  • Self-review pass before any diff is handed to you
Next

Agents that never sleep

5 items
  • Watch mode: tests rerun on every save and failures fix themselves
  • bolt cron: scheduled agent chores (dependency bumps, changelog drafts, issue triage)
  • On-red-main automation: bisect, blame, and propose the fix before you've seen the alert
  • Flaky test detection and quarantining
  • Background job queue: run --background plus bolt jobs list/tail/kill
Next

Agents with guardrails

4 items
  • Guardrail agent that vetoes risky commands before they run
  • Budget guards: --max-cost and --max-tokens on any run
  • bolt undo: one-command rollback when an experiment goes sideways
  • Named checkpoints: save points you can rewind the repo and the conversation to
Next

Party tricks

4 items
  • Design-to-code: hand the agent a Figma file, get components back
  • Codebase visualization maps drawn by the agent
  • Pair-programming mode with a shared cursor
  • Session replays you can share like a highlight reel
Later

Later

5 items
  • Autonomous long-horizon projects spanning days
  • Fine-tuned repo-specific models
  • On-device small-model routing for trivial tasks
  • Agent federation across organizations
  • AI release manager: cut, verify, and publish releases end to end
Done

Done

10 items
  • Best-of-N runs: the same task fanned out to several models in parallel, keep the winner
  • Push-to-talk voice input in the TUI
  • Agent evaluation benchmark harness (bolt eval)
  • Project memory module: automatic capture with save and recall tools
  • bolt memory: view and edit what the agent remembers per project (/memory in the TUI)
  • Per-session memory controls
  • /plan mode, /todos task list, and /btw side questions that don't interrupt the task
  • bolt logs with tail and follow
  • .boltignore-aware agent file search
  • macOS desktop app with a one-line terminal installer (no Gatekeeper detour)
