## Thinking Path > - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies > - As the project grows, more contributors want to build features — which is great > - Without a public roadmap or clear contribution guidance, contributors spend time on PRs that overlap with planned core work > - This creates frustration on both sides when those PRs can't be merged > - This PR publishes a roadmap, updates the contribution guide with a clear path for feature proposals, and reinforces the workflow in the PR template > - The benefit is that contributors know exactly how to propose features and where to focus for the highest-impact contributions ## What Changed - Added `ROADMAP.md` with expanded descriptions of all shipped and planned milestones, plus guidance on coordinating feature contributions - Added "Feature Contributions" section to `CONTRIBUTING.md` explaining how to propose features (check roadmap → discuss in #dev → consider the plugin system) - Updated `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` with a callout linking to the roadmap and a new checklist item to check for overlap with planned work, while preserving the newer required `Model Used` section from `master` - Added `Memory / Knowledge` to the README roadmap preview and linked the preview to the full `ROADMAP.md` ## Verification - Open `ROADMAP.md` on GitHub and confirm it renders correctly with all milestone sections - Read the new "Feature Contributions" section in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and verify all links resolve - Open a new PR and confirm the template shows the roadmap callout and the new checklist item - Verify README links to `ROADMAP.md` and the roadmap preview includes "Memory / Knowledge" ## Risks - Docs-only change — no runtime or behavioral impact - Contribution policy changes were written to be constructive and to offer clear alternative paths (plugins, coordination via #dev, reference implementations as feedback) ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex local agent (GPT-5-based coding model; exact runtime model ID is not exposed in this environment) - Tool use enabled for shell, git, GitHub CLI, and patch application - Used to rebase the branch, resolve merge conflicts, update the PR metadata, and verify the repo state ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [ ] I have run tests locally and they pass - [ ] I have added or updated tests where applicable (N/A — docs only) - [ ] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after screenshots (N/A — no UI changes) - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
