Minnow roadmap
Minnow develops as one full agentic development workspace: plan, build, run agents, track work, and keep knowledge without a cloud account. Depth in the build loop and tighter integration between surfaces come before breadth across new surfaces. This page describes product direction, not delivery dates.
This is the one page that talks about work not yet shipped. The manual describes only what is in the build you installed.
Shipped
- Code workspace — chat beside the repo, CodeMirror, LSP, terminal, source control, browser preview, and agent undo.
- Source Control Center — changes, history, branches, stashes, worktrees, plus pull requests and CI through the user’s own
ghCLI. - Planning and delivery — Plan mode, Orchestrator boards, work agents, isolated worktrees, and test/fix loops.
- Knowledge — Brain, official Minnow wiki, chat retrieval, code index, and web RAG.
- Operations — Models, providers, routing, Scheduler, Issues, settings, diagnostics, skills, MCP, and local tool plugins.
- Local-first foundations — encrypted secrets, on-disk state, optional LAN companion access, and Electron packaging.
Active direction
| Area | Direction |
|---|---|
| Build loop | Make plan-to-board-to-tested-change reliable across local and cloud models. |
| Documentation | Keep the in-app and GitHub wikis generated from the versioned documentation source. |
| Model runtime | Improve local model setup, routing, constrained tool use, and hardware-aware recommendations. |
| Extensibility | Deepen skills, prompt packs, native tools, MCP, themes, and agent packs without closed services. |
| Accessibility | Maintain keyboard coverage, reduced motion, readable themes, and WCAG 2.1 AA contrast. |
How priorities are chosen
- Reliability and data safety in shipped workflows.
- Depth in the workspace build loop.
- Local-first operation and model compatibility.
- Accessibility and documentation.
- New surfaces only after existing ones are complete.
Feature requests and bug reports belong in the GitHub issue tracker. Roadmap entries describe direction and do not promise a release date.
