Roadmap

remote-cli is a beta-candidate, self-hosted project. The roadmap is intentionally practical: keep the complete user journey reliable before adding larger features.

Milestone 1: Private Alpha

Goal: dogfood across a laptop, desktop, and Raspberry Pi.

Done:

• reliable relay startup
• reliable PWA login
• reliable pairing
• clear relay URL docs
• agent foreground run
• successful prompt/stream response
• clear Claude auth/rate-limit/spawn errors
• troubleshooting docs

Milestone 2: Public Beta Packaging

Goal: technical users can try it without cloning the repo.

Done or in progress:

• one npm package: remote-cli
• one unified Go binary: remote-cli
• Cobra command interface
• embedded PWA assets in release binaries
• pure-Go SQLite for CGO-free builds
• release binaries for macOS and Linux, amd64 and arm64
• checksums
• agent service helpers for macOS launchd and Linux systemd user services
• remote-cli service status
• basic CI
• release workflow

Remaining before a confident public beta tag:

• smoke test npm install -g @akshaymemane/remote-cli from a real GitHub Release
• fresh-machine test: setup -> login -> pair -> send prompt -> stream response
• verify npm package publishing with NPM_TOKEN
• final README/docs pass against the tagged release

Milestone 3: Reliability

Goal: make failures obvious and recoverable.

Done:

• fail session start if agent is offline
• reject session start if the device is already busy
• show actionable PWA errors
• reconnect/session cleanup behavior
• device delete/revoke
• relay admin password reset command

Planned:

• better structured logs
• clearer service failure diagnostics
• relay process supervision docs
• persisted session recovery research

Milestone 4: Product Depth

Possible:

• persisted chat history
• project/workdir selection
• richer tool display
• notification support
• relay service/autostart helper
• easier remote relay deployment templates

Milestone 5: Security Hardening

Possible:

• stricter production defaults
• optional origin restrictions
• login rate limiting
• token revocation UX
• end-to-end encryption research
• security review

Not In v1

• hosted relay service
• multi-user/team model
• Windows agent support
• attaching to existing Claude TUI sessions
• native mobile app
