Project Roadmap

RobOS is under heavy active development. This is an early-stage project with an ambitious vision — what you see today is the foundation, and there’s a mountain of work ahead. New epics are being added weekly.

Early Stage. RobOS is pre-1.0 software. Apps are functional but rough around the edges. APIs will change. Things will break. If that excites you rather than scares you, you’re in the right place.

Epic 24: AI Agent Orchestration (65 pts, 12 stories)

The big one. Inspired by gstack and Paperclip. Multi-agent teams with role specialization (architect, implementer, reviewer, tester), org charts, budget controls, human approval gates, and a live Agent Command Center dashboard. Run an entire sprint autonomously with 5 agents working 5 stories in parallel.

Story Points
Agent Role system 5
Org Chart with delegation 5
Parallel agent execution 8
Budget system (per-sprint/task/agent) 5
Human approval gates 5
Agent Command Center app 8
Role templates (gstack-style presets) 3
Multi-provider (Claude, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Ollama) 5
Sprint automation 8
Agent memory and context handoff 5
Marketplace (downloadable team templates) 5

Full Model Problem Video (Coming Soon)

A complete end-to-end video walkthrough of the Model Problem: a team of four builds the buildbarn-forms project using RobOS from start to finish.

  • Company setup (Jira, workflows, Git projects)
  • Developer onboarding (3-minute zero-to-productive)
  • Story implementation with AI (questionnaire → draft → PR)
  • Code review with AI assistance (breakpoint review, “start the app”)
  • Merge, deploy, and automatic status transitions
  • Dashboard visibility for all four personas

This will be the definitive demo of what RobOS can do.
