Roadmap

Roadmap

Possible future features for DeepLore Enhanced. Nothing here is promised or on a timeline — these are ideas collected from community feedback, GitHub issues, code audits, and the developer's own plans. Some may ship soon, some may never ship, and priorities can shift.

Have a feature request? Open a GitHub issue with the enhancement label.

Note: Features already shipped are documented on the Features page and in the Changelog.

Size estimates: [S] small, [M] medium, [L] large.

AI & Retrieval

Feature	Size	Description
Hybrid Vector Pre-Filter	L	Use ST Vector Storage embeddings for semantic retrieval alongside keyword matching.
Multi-Query Decomposition	L	Agentic retrieval: decompose chat into sub-queries by narrative element, merge results.
Injection History Awareness	S	Prepend previously-injected entries to AI search context. Deferred due to re-picking bias concern — decay/freshness handles this better for now.
Custom Fields in AI Manifest	M	Send custom frontmatter field values to AI in the candidate manifest so the AI can use field metadata (era, mood, faction, etc.) as selection criteria.
Stale-While-Revalidate Index	S	Serve the stale vault index while fetching fresh data in background.

---

Worldbuilding

Feature	Size	Description
Continuity Watchdog	M	AI contradiction detection: compare model responses against injected lore and flag inconsistencies.
Lore Evolution via Scribe	L	Scribe proposes vault entry updates when state-changing events happen in the story.
Relationship Tracker	M	Typed directional relationships (ally/enemy/mentor/etc.) in frontmatter, surfaced in graph and manifest.
Faction Influence System	L	Numeric influence values, inter-faction disposition maps, /dle-factions command.
Narrative Spotlight / Scene Director	M	Natural language spotlight conditions in frontmatter, evaluated by AI to control injection.
Character Knowledge Annotations	M	Per-character knowledge gating to prevent information leakage between characters.
Procedural Lore Generation	L	Template-based on-the-fly entry creation for uncharted territory or unexplored areas.
Adaptive Injection by Pacing	M-L	Adjust injection volume based on narrative pacing — less lore during fast action, more during exploration.
Cross-Chat Continuity	M	Import key narrative state from previous chats into new ones.
Narrative Arc Templates	L	Story arc structures with phase-dependent lore priorities (rising action gets different lore than climax).
Lore Consistency Checker	M	AI semantic contradiction detection across vault entries.

Entry Matching & Gating

Feature	Size	Description
Inclusion Groups	M	A group frontmatter field where only one entry per group injects per chat. User-creatable toggles with a panel UI to select which group member is active.
Outlet / outletName Support	M	Map entries to SillyTavern lorebook outlet names, or support named injection positions like "before char" and "after author's note".
Fuzzy Name Matching for Commands	S	Allow /dle-pin, /dle-block, and other entry commands to fuzzy-match titles instead of requiring exact names.

---

Vault & Import

Feature	Size	Description
Auto-Sync from ST World Info	M	Watch a SillyTavern lorebook JSON for changes and auto-import new entries. Bridges the gap with extensions like MemoryBooks and WREC.
AI-Generated Summaries on Import	S	✅ Shipped. /dle-import now offers to generate AI summaries after import, reusing the /dle-summarize pipeline.
Update Existing Entries	M	Dedicated function to update vault entries — modifying specific frontmatter fields while preserving the rest — rather than full file rewrites.
Per-Chat Vault Auto-Switching	M	Automatically assign vaults to chats instead of manual toggling, or treat folders within a vault as chat-specific lorebooks.
Full Bidirectional Vault Sync	L	Full version of the lite import bridge — two-way sync between ST World Info and Obsidian vault.
Wiki-Import Pipeline	L	Crawl Fandom/MediaWiki sites, summarize pages, and create vault entries automatically.
Entry Template System	M	Type-specific templates (character, location, lore, etc.) for Auto-Suggest created entries.

---

UX & Visualization

Feature	Size	Description
NovelAI-Style Full Context Viewer	L	Color-coded visualization of the entire prompt showing where each piece comes from.
Token Budget Visualizer	M	Stacked bar chart of budget allocation across entry groups.
Generation Timeline	L	Recorded pipeline history in chat_metadata, persistent timeline across generations.
Batch Health Fix	L	Auto-fix buttons on health check issues instead of just reporting them.
Entry Clustering / Smart Grouping	M	✅ Shipped in v0.2.0. Hierarchical pre-filter clusters by category; graph has Louvain clustering + gap analysis.
Keyboard Shortcuts	S	Ctrl+Shift+B/M/N/R for common drawer and pipeline actions.
Entry Versioning / History Timeline	M	Track changes to vault entries over time with diffs.
Setup Wizard AI Connection Step	S	Extend /dle-setup to also configure AI search connection (profile or proxy), not just vault connection.
/dle-summarize Batch UX	M	Batch mode for generating summaries across many entries with progress tracking and abort support.
/dle-set-characters Browse Popup	S	Rich browse-and-select popup for the character gating command, matching the style of /dle-set-era.
Simulation Scope Disclaimer	S	Add a note to /dle-simulate output clarifying that results are approximate and may differ from real generations.
/dle-review Chat Pollution Warning	S	Warn users that /dle-review injects a system message visible to the AI, which may affect subsequent generations.
color-mix() @supports Wrappers	S	Wrap ~25 color-mix() CSS usages in @supports blocks for browsers that don't support it.
Health Icon Colorblind Indicators	S	Add shape-based indicators (icons, patterns) alongside color for health status, improving accessibility for colorblind users.
Context Bar Hide for Non-OAI Backends	S	Hide the context token bar in the drawer footer when using non-OpenAI backends where CHAT_COMPLETION_PROMPT_READY never fires.
Browse List Virtualization	M	✅ Shipped in v0.2.0. Virtual scroll with 32px row height, 8-row overscan, absolute positioning.
Story Timeline View	M	Scrollable timeline of Session Scribe notes with one-click expansion to full summaries. Replace popup-based /dle-scribe-history with a persistent view.
Debug Mode Lite	M	In-drawer panel showing live matching traces, pipeline decisions, and cache state — avoiding the need for browser console or /dle-inspect.
Selectable Graph Algorithm	M	Let users choose between different graph layout algorithms (force-directed, radial, hierarchical, etc.) for different vault structures and visualization needs.
Entry Studio	M-L	In-browser entry viewer/editor with AI chat for adjusting frontmatter and content without needing Obsidian open. Preview AI-written entries before committing to vault. Conversational editing: "add era: Modern to frontmatter", "rewrite the summary".

Graph Visualization (/dle-graph)

Feature	Size	Description
Live Pipeline Trace Overlay	M	During generation, graph nodes light up in real-time showing pipeline stages: keyword-matched = green, AI-selected = bright, budget-cut = red, gated = gray. Hover any node for full diagnosis. The missing link between /dle-inspect and real-time understanding.
Live Generation Sync	M	If graph popup is open during generation, animate which entries are being considered/selected/rejected. After generation, state persists for inspection.
Generation Timeline Scrubber	L	Slider at bottom scrubs through chat history generation-by-generation. Shows which entries were active at each step. Like git blame for lore injection.
Sketch & Auto-Create Mode	L	Draw connections directly on the graph. Click empty space to create a new entry skeleton. Drag between nodes to create requires/excludes edges. Writes back to Obsidian via writeNote(). Turns the graph into a worldbuilding tool.
Interactive HTML Export	M	Export graph as a standalone .html file with bundled renderer, zero dependencies. Collaborators open in browser, explore vault structure without SillyTavern.
AI Auto-Suggest Connections	M	AI analyzes the manifest and suggests "these entries should be linked." One-click "Create Link" writes wikilinks to Obsidian. Surfaces hidden relationships.
Dead Entry Detection Cluster	S	✅ Shipped in v0.2.0. Orphan nodes clustered in separate grid, gap analysis overlay highlights them.
Budget Allocation Simulator	M	Sidebar showing projected token cost: "If these N entries inject, tokens = X, budget remaining = Y." Drag entries into a "likely" list to plan budget before vault changes.
"What If" Sandbox	M	Toggle entries on/off and simulate what would inject. Test dependency chains before running /dle-simulate on a full chat.
Alternative Layouts	M	Layout dropdown: force-directed (current), family tree (character hierarchies), org chart (factions), timeline (by era field), dependency DAG (requires chains as tree). Animate transitions between layouts.
Path Finding	M	Select two nodes, highlight shortest path (BFS). Show edge types along the path. Optional: K-shortest-paths for alternatives. Answers "how does this entry unlock that entry?"
Neighborhood Isolation	M	✅ Shipped in v0.2.0. Ego-centric focus mode with N-hop BFS depth, +/- controls, breadcrumb exit, camera fit.
Multi-Select & Bulk Actions	M	Shift+click to multi-select, lasso draw. Bulk pin/block, export subset, compare properties, health check selected.
Node Detail Panel	M	Click a node to open a side panel with 4 tabs: Metadata, Links (incoming/outgoing with types), Content preview, Actions (pin/block/open in Obsidian/health check). Pattern from Context Cartographer popup.
Comparison / Diff Mode	L	Side-by-side graph view after index rebuild. Nodes colored by change type: green = added, red = removed, yellow = modified. Summary: "Added: 3, Removed: 1, Modified: 5." Uses detectChanges() from core/sync.js.
Per-Era Graph Views	M	Filter graph by era (frontmatter field). Show only entries for a specific era. Cross-era edges highlighted to show historical continuity.
Coverage Analysis	M	Click an entry to show its transitive closure — which entries become reachable through cascade and require chains. Helps identify orphaned subtrees and over-connected clusters.
Injection Heatmap Animation	M	Radar sweep or pulse animation highlighting recently-injected entries. Node colors shift blue→red based on per-chat injection counts. Surfaces overused and dead entries at a glance.
Graph Description Generator	S	Generate a natural-language summary of graph structure for screen readers and documentation. "The vault contains 47 entries: 3 major hubs, 12 isolated characters, 4 dead entries..."
Lens Mode	M	Magnifying glass cursor for exploring dense regions without zooming. Circle shows zoomed detail; everything outside fades.
Drag-to-Create Edges	L	Alt+drag from node to node → dropdown to pick edge type (link/requires/excludes/cascade) → writes to Obsidian frontmatter. Right-click edge to delete.
Minimap	S	150x150px corner minimap showing full graph with viewport rectangle. Click to navigate.

Infrastructure & Connectivity

Feature	Size	Description
Phone/Mobile Support	M	Use DLE when SillyTavern runs on a PC but the user accesses from a phone. Remote Obsidian support shipped — this is the remaining UX work.
Higher/Unlimited AI Timeout	S	✅ Shipped. All timeouts raised to 120,000ms max. Local LLM guidance added to tooltips, wiki, and troubleshooting.
Web Worker for Keyword Matching	M	Offload regex matching off the main thread for vaults with 500+ entries.
Pipeline Telemetry Dashboard	M	Timing data, performance counters, and user-facing metrics for pipeline runs.
Observer Unsubscribe Pattern	M	Refactor state.js callback arrays to return unsubscribe functions, enabling proper cleanup if modules are ever reloaded.

---

Integration & Ecosystem

Feature	Size	Description
Mirror Other Extensions	L	Use Obsidian as unified storage for lore maintenance features from other extensions (MemoryBooks, WREC, etc.).

---

Project

Item	Description
Rebrand to "DeepLore"	Drop the "Enhanced" suffix once enough features have landed. Base DeepLore is deprecated.
