Roadmap

Where the harness is heading. Each item ships when it earns its place — no dates, just direction.

Loop Engineering

An optional external driver that runs the dispatch → verify → merge cycle for you. It sits on top of the harness, reads Vinaya’s task state, and advances work on its own — while you keep the go/no-go calls. Ships in rings: self-correction is live today, the full task loop comes next.

Studio on the web

Vinaya Studio runs deployed, not just on your machine. Anyone can connect over the web — product folks, reviewers, non-coders — and watch the harness state live. The whole team sees what’s building, without cloning a repo or touching a terminal.

Linear & Jira support

A service layer that holds the issue state machine in Linear or Jira, not just GitHub. Same labels, same flow — Vinaya reads and edits issues wherever your team already tracks them. Bring the harness to your board instead of moving your board to the harness.

Configurable forge

Today Vinaya’s security gates — rationale checks, doc-coupling, scope guards — are always on. This adds a vinaya.settings.json where you switch each check on or off, at any level: whole repo, a project, or a single task. Loosen the gates on a throwaway repo, keep them strict on production.

Configurable roles

Vinaya ships fixed agent roles — Developer, Reviewer, and the rest — each with baked-in skills. This lets you pass your own: swap in a custom role, add domain skills, or override how an existing role behaves. The harness stays the same; the agents inside it become yours to shape.
