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.
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
✅ 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. |
| 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. |
| ✅ Shipped in 1.0. 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. |
| ✅ Shipped in 1.0. Wizard page 5 configures AI search connection (profile or proxy). | ||
/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. |
| ✅ Shipped in 1.0. 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". |
| 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. |
| ✅ Shipped in 1.0. 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?" |
| ✅ Shipped in 1.0. 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. |
| 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. |
| ✅ 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. |
| Feature | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror Other Extensions | L | Use Obsidian as unified storage for lore maintenance features from other extensions (MemoryBooks, WREC, etc.). |
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Rebrand to "DeepLore" | Drop the "Enhanced" suffix once enough features have landed. Base DeepLore is deprecated. |
