Roadmap
Where we're headed
SpecStrand grows in three movements: the loop, gates, and the record already shipped; control for the agents you do not fully trust next; hosted agents, teams, and Linear beyond.
- Shipped v1 · release 2026-09-23
The loop, gates, and the record
What you can use today: turn an idea into a plan and let your own agent run it, with you in the loop where it matters.
- Ideas → designs → plans → tasks, with reviewable gates at every step
- Autonomous task loops: your agent claims, works, reports, and completes, then takes the next
- Plan graphs and gates as first-class objects: plans drain in dependency order, a gate holds everything behind it until you approve, and a plan outside every graph gets a warning
- The Getting started graph: a guided walkthrough seeded into every new account, from install to the first drained plan
- MCP protocol 2026-07-28, with 2025-11-25 still served for older clients
- Agent messaging: directives, questions, and handoffs between you and your agents, over the API, MCP, and the run thread in the Studio
- Codex and OpenCode setup alongside Claude Code: an MCP config block and a quickstart tab for each
- A cross-account isolation test suite: one account cannot read, list, or message another
- The Studio, an IDE-style workbench for orchestration, and the Work board: live runs grouped by plan, capped so it stays readable
- Unified search, tagging, and themeable markdown throughout
- Accounts, onboarding, and self-hosting (Docker, health checks, rate limits)
- Billing and plans: Stripe checkout, a trial countdown, and a paywall on paid surfaces
- Observability, audit trails, and runbooks: OpenTelemetry traces and metrics, an append-only audit log, and operator runbooks
- Codebase graphs: an experimental preview behind a server-side flag, off during the beta
- Next v2 · the control plane
Control the agents you do not fully trust
Stop an agent before it does what you did not approve, prove what it did, and answer from wherever you are.
- Gate inbox on your phone: an installable app with push notifications, and one-tap approve from Slack
- A pre-tool-use gate hook: a risky tool call (a push, a deploy, a payment) becomes a gate that waits for you
- Signed audit receipts: a tamper-evident chain over the audit log that you can export and verify offline
- Budget guard: token caps and loop detection that pause the run into a gate instead of spending on
- Pricing tiers: Free with 1 plan and 20 tasks, Pro at $19 per month, Team from $49 to $199 per month with receipts and exports
- Bring your own model: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or a local server
- Supervisor and worker agents: one agent coordinating a fleet, with the same gates and record
- Later beyond
Hosted agents, teams, and Linear
Once the controls are in place: agents that run on our machines, teams that share them, and the tracker you already use.
- Hosted agents: SpecStrand runs the agent on a fast cloud VM, your desktop second
- Linear delegation: assign a Linear issue to SpecStrand and get a gated run back; a Linear workspace from $50 to $120 per month
- Organizations & RBAC: teams, shared workspaces, act-on-behalf
- Composable, hostable skills, plus a default planning skill
- Semantic diffs and code search
