Roadmap

v1 — Core Spiral (current)

Theme: Everything needed to build, test, and deploy a Holochain hApp from scratch.

Domains: Architecture, Design, Scaffold, Implement, Test, Deploy

Workflows:

• DesignDataModel — DHT entry/link type design with validation rules
• Scaffold — New project and new domain scaffolding workflows
• ImplementZome — Full CRUD zome implementation
• DesignAccessControl — Capability grants and admin patterns
• PackageAndDeploy — Kangaroo-Electron packaging and CI/CD
• ReviewZome — Proactive code review checklist

Context files shipped ahead of schedule:

• WindTunnel.md — Performance/load testing with wind-tunnel (originally v2)

Target: All Agent Skills-compatible tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Augment, Codex)

v2 — Ecosystem Expansion

Theme: Connect to the broader Holochain ecosystem. Cross-hApp and cross-network patterns.

Planned additions:

Sub-skills

• hREA / ValueFlows — Scaffold and implement ValueFlows-compatible economic resource tracking; EconomicEvent, EconomicResource, Process entry types; REA ontology patterns
• holochain-open-dev — Community-standard patterns: Profiles zome, linked devices, file storage, notifications
• ADAM (coasys) — AD4M perspectives, expression languages, cross-hApp linking
• Holo Hosting — HTTP gateway setup, edge node configuration, Holo Node ISO, HolOS
• Unyt — Holochain Foundation’s P2P accounting and payment infrastructure; Alliance setup and configuration, Smart Agreements (RHAI scripting, three-layer template/agreement/RAVE architecture), transaction types (Pay, Request, Trade), inter-network and EVM bridging, agent onboarding via Joining Service REST API, Pricing Oracle integration, and deployment with tauri-plugin-holochain

Architecture improvements

• Skill graph: parent orchestrator routing to sub-skills
• Cross-LLM portability (GLM 5, any client with skill support)

v3 — GUI and Visual Tooling

Theme: Make Holochain accessible without deep framework knowledge. From developers to builders.

Vision:

• Visual DHT data model explorer — design entry/link types through a diagram interface
• No-code workflow UI — guided scaffold and deploy without terminal commands
• Architecture diagram generation — auto-generate from zome code
• Progressive disclosure — beginner mode (guided, verbose) vs. expert mode (fast, terse)
• Monitoring integration — visual DHT health, gossip status, conductor logs

Inspiration: Holo Node ISO’s web-based Node Manager shows the direction — powerful infrastructure made accessible through UI. This skill’s v3 applies the same principle to development tooling.

PAI Integration (post-v1)

Once both the PAI version and vanilla version are field-tested:

1. Audit differences — what did each version evolve to independently?
2. Extract shared knowledge — create canonical knowledge files usable by both
3. Layer PAI on top — PAI SKILL.md wraps shared files and adds PAI-specific features (voice, project routing, Algorithm integration)
4. Publish shared core — vanilla skill becomes the community baseline; PAI version is a superset
