Roadmap
Introduction
This roadmap outlines the evolution of the vibeflow architecture from current state through planned features and future vision. Key principles for evolution:- User-driven - Features emerge from real marketing architect needs
- Systematic - Meta commands over manual workflows
- Non-breaking - Additions, not breaking changes
- Compounding - Each addition makes the system more valuable
- v0.x - Early adopters, rapid iteration, foundational features
- v1.x - Stable core, wider adoption, enhancement focus
- v2.x+ - Advanced capabilities, ecosystem expansion
Current State: v0.1
Status: โ Built and Documented Release date: October 2025Whatโs Built
1. Core Architecture โ- โ 5-layer org chart model (Marketing Architect โ Operations Manager โ Sub-agents โ Skills โ Tools)
- โ One-way dependencies enforced
- โ Progressive disclosure pattern established

- โ ARCHITECTURE-INSIGHTS.md (comprehensive reference)
- โ Perplexity (research, web search)
- โ Firecrawl (web scraping, content extraction)
- โ Replicate (image generation, AI models)
- โ MCP protocol support
- โ Operations Manager output style
- โ Example sub-agents (Brand Analyst, Content Writer)
- โ Example skills (Market Research, Qualitative Analysis)
- โ Example commands (onboarding workflows)
Whatโs NOT Built Yet
โ Meta commands (plan/implement are documented patterns, not actual commands) โ Validation tooling (contradiction detection, dependency checking) โ Skill/agent creation meta commands (currently manual) โ Review workflow layer (human review gates) โ Enhanced integrations (Slack, Figma, etc.) โ Community sharing (skill/agent marketplace)Current Limitations
1. Manual skill/agent creationIn Development: v0.2
Status: ๐ง Active Work Target release: November-December 2025Features Under Development
1. Meta Commands (Core Framework) ๐ง Purpose: Systematize common workflows Meta commands being built:plan: [task description]
implement
create domain: [domain name]
- โ Complete layer documentation (00-05)
- โ Principles document
- โ Ownership model
- โ This roadmap
- ๐ง Getting started guide (step-by-step for new users)
- ๐ง Troubleshooting guide (common issues, solutions)
- ๐ง Migration guide (existing projects โ vibeflow)
Planned: v0.3-v0.5
Status: ๐ Planned Timeline: Q1-Q2 2026Skill/Agent Creation Meta Commands
create skill: [skill name]
Purpose: Generate skill structure from conversation
Workflow:
create agent: [role name]
Purpose: Generate sub-agent definition from description
Workflow:
Review Workflow Layer
Purpose: Optional human review gates for quality control Use cases:- Review content before publishing
- Approve research findings before strategy update
- Validate campaign assets before launch
- Quality control for high-stakes work
review: [what to review]
Enhanced Validation Tooling
Advanced validation features: 1. Real-time validationFuture: v1.0+
Status: ๐ฎ Vision Timeline: Mid-late 2026Additional Integrations
Purpose: Expand tool ecosystem Planned integrations: SlackCommunity Sharing
Purpose: Enable marketing architects to share and adapt components Features: Skill marketplace:Advanced Analytics
Purpose: Understand system usage, identify improvements Metrics to track: System usage:Enhanced AI Capabilities
Purpose: Leverage improvements in AI models Potential features (model-dependent): Longer context windows:Evolution Principles
How We Decide What to Build
1. User-driven featuresWhat We Wonโt Build
โ Features that violate principles:- Upward dependencies (breaks architecture)
- Mandatory centralization (removes ownership)
- Breaking changes without migration path
- AI that overrides human decisions
- Infrastructure team reviewing content quality
- Automated changes to brand strategy
- Opinionated marketing methodologies
- Forced workflows
- Proprietary formats (use Markdown, JSON, standard formats)
- Closed ecosystems (enable integration with anything)
- Subscription dependencies (own your infrastructure)
Backward Compatibility Commitment
Promise: Additions, not breaking changes What this means:Version Milestones
v0.1 - Foundation โ
Status: Complete (October 2025) Key achievements:- Core architecture defined and documented
- File structure established
- Workflows documented
- Basic integrations working
- Example implementations created
- โ Marketing architects can build brand strategy
- โ Research workflows are functional
- โ Content generation works end-to-end
- โ Documentation is comprehensive
v0.2 - Systematization ๐ง
Status: In Development (Q4 2025) Key goals:- Meta commands implemented
- Validation tooling built
- Supplementary documentation complete
- โ Marketing architects use meta commands for common workflows
- โ Validation catches errors before they cause problems
- โ Getting started is easier (guided onboarding)
v0.3 - Enablement ๐
Status: Planned (Q1 2026) Key goals:- Skill/agent creation meta commands
- Enhanced progressive disclosure tooling
- Performance optimizations
- โ Marketing architects create skills/agents via conversation
- โ Context loading is faster and more efficient
- โ System feels โpolishedโ not โprototypeโ
v0.4 - Quality Layer ๐
Status: Planned (Q2 2026) Key goals:- Review workflow layer
- Enhanced validation
- Quality metrics
- โ High-stakes work has review gates
- โ Quality is measurable (not just subjective)
- โ System provides quality feedback
v1.0 - Production Ready ๐ฎ
Status: Vision (Mid 2026) Key goals:- Stable core (minimal breaking changes)
- Comprehensive tooling
- Rich ecosystem (integrations)
- Community sharing
- โ Used by multiple marketing teams in production
- โ Architecture has proven stable

How to Contribute
For Marketing Architects
Current state (v0.1-v0.2):For Infrastructure Team
Focus areas:Success Metrics
How We Measure Progress
Adoption metrics:- Number of active marketing architects using vibeflow
- Number of brands using it in production
- Volume of content/research generated
- % of strategy backed by research (audit trail strength)
- Content consistency scores (brand voice adherence)
- User satisfaction (marketing architects)
- Time to create brand strategy (vs. manual)
- Content generation speed (vs. manual)
- Research workflow efficiency
- Architectural compliance rate
- Progressive disclosure adherence
- One-way dependency violations (should be 0)
- Skills/agents/commands shared
- Community contributions
- Cross-pollination (adaptations)
