### TUI UX Polish
- [ ] **Keyboard shortcut audit and redesign**
- Analyze all current shortcuts for intuitiveness
- Ensure shortcuts are discoverable and memorable
- Consider user expectations from similar tools (vim, lazygit, ranger)
- Group related actions with similar key patterns
- [ ] **Visual discoverability**

- [ ] **Settings system**
- `.deciduous/config.toml` for user preferences
- Timeline order default (newest-first vs oldest-first)
- Editor preference (`$EDITOR` fallback chain)
- Color theme selection
- Key binding customization
- Database path configuration
### LLM Critique & Analysis
- [ ] `deciduous critique --goal <id>` - Have an LLM analyze a goal's decision chain
- Review decisions made, options chosen/rejected
- Identify potential blind spots or unconsidered alternatives
- Evaluate confidence levels vs actual outcomes
- Suggest improvements for future similar decisions
- [ ] Multi-model critique comparison
- `deciduous critique --goal <id> --models claude,gpt4,gemini`
- See how different models evaluate the same decision chain
- Highlight where models agree/disagree on quality
- [ ] Critique storage - save critiques as special nodes linked to goals
### LLM Benchmarking Framework
- [ ] **Goal-based benchmarking**: Use the same goal/task across multiple LLMs
- Define a goal with acceptance criteria
- Run each model on the same task
- Compare: decisions made, paths taken, outcomes achieved
- [ ] `deciduous benchmark` command
- `deciduous benchmark --task "Implement feature X" --models claude,gpt4,gemini,llama`
- Each model gets isolated graph namespace
- Automated or human evaluation of outcomes
- [ ] Metrics to capture:
- Decision quality (did they consider good options?)
- Path efficiency (how direct was the route to outcome?)
- Confidence calibration (were high-confidence decisions correct?)
- Recovery ability (how did they handle setbacks?)
- Graph structure (complexity, dead ends, backtracking)
- [ ] Benchmark reports
- Side-by-side comparison of decision graphs
- Aggregate stats across multiple benchmark runs
- Export to shareable format for publishing results
- [ ] Reproducible benchmark suites
- Define standard tasks with known-good solutions
- Version-controlled benchmark definitions
- CI integration for regression testing model capabilities
### Code Tracking & File Associations
- [ ] Associate nodes with code changes
- `deciduous add action "Implementing X" --files src/foo.rs,src/bar.rs`
- Track which files were touched for each action/outcome
- Store file paths and optionally line ranges
- [ ] **Web UI: "View Code" button on nodes**
- Click a node → see associated files
- Show git diff for the commit linked to that node
- Quick navigation to file locations
- [ ] Update `.claude/commands/` and `.windsurf/rules/` templates
- Include instructions to log file associations
- `deciduous add action "..." --files <changed-files>`
- [ ] `deciduous files <node-id>` command to list associated files
- [ ] Reverse lookup: `deciduous nodes --file src/foo.rs` to find nodes touching a file
### Prompt Tracking
- [ ] Capture prompts alongside decisions
- Store the exact user prompt that triggered a goal/decision
- Link prompts to their resulting decision chains
- [ ] `deciduous add goal "Title" --prompt "User's original request"`
- [ ] Prompt history view in web UI
- See what prompt led to each decision chain
- Search/filter by prompt content
- [ ] Prompt templates
- Save effective prompts for reuse
- Share prompt patterns that lead to good decision trees
- [ ] Prompt → Outcome analysis
- Correlate prompt patterns with successful outcomes
- Identify which prompt styles lead to better decisions
- [ ] **View prompts in web UI**
- Display the original prompt in node detail panel
- Filter/search nodes by prompt content
- "Copy prompt" button for reuse
### Git Integration & Pre-commit Hook Awareness
- [ ] Inspect and respect pre-commit hooks
- Detect `.git/hooks/pre-commit` or `.husky/` hooks
- Parse hook contents to understand what checks run
- Warn users if hooks might reject commits (linting, formatting, tests)
- [ ] Pre-flight commit validation
- `deciduous commit --dry-run` to simulate what hooks would do
- Show which checks would pass/fail before actual commit
- [ ] Auto-fix integration
- If hooks run formatters (prettier, rustfmt), detect and apply fixes
- Re-stage auto-fixed files before commit
- [ ] Hook-aware templates
- Update `.claude/commands/` and `.windsurf/rules/` to mention pre-commit awareness
- Instruct LLMs to check for hooks before committing
### Claude Code Hooks Integration
- [ ] Explore using Claude Code hooks to guarantee workflow behavior
- Claude Code supports hooks that run on various events (tool calls, messages, etc.)
- Could enforce decision graph logging more reliably than instructions alone
- [ ] **Pre-tool hooks**: Before file edits
- Auto-log `action` node when Claude is about to modify files
- Capture which files are being changed
- Block edits if no active goal exists in the graph
- [ ] **Post-tool hooks**: After successful operations
- Auto-log `outcome` nodes after code changes succeed
- Auto-link outcomes to their parent actions
- Trigger `deciduous sync` after significant changes
- [ ] **Pre-commit hooks**: Before git commits
- Verify graph integrity (no orphan outcomes/actions)
- Require at least one goal node for the current session
- Auto-add commit hash to recent action/outcome nodes
- [ ] **Session start hooks**: On conversation begin
- Auto-run `/context` equivalent
- Load graph state and surface pending decisions
- Warn if there are disconnected nodes needing attention
- [ ] **Prompt submit hooks**: When user sends a message
- Detect feature requests and auto-create goal nodes
- Capture original prompt in node metadata
- [ ] Hook configuration in `.deciduous/hooks.toml`
- Enable/disable specific hooks
- Configure strictness (warn vs block)
- Custom hook scripts for project-specific needs
- [ ] Document hook setup in Claude Code settings
- Integration guide for `.claude/settings.json`
- Example hook configurations for different workflow styles
### Git.log File Reliability
- [ ] Investigate why git.log file isn't always being created/updated
- User reported missing git.log during session
- This file should always exist and track all git commands run
- [ ] Ensure git.log is created on `deciduous init`
- [ ] Add git.log writing to all git-related operations
- [ ] Consider moving git.log into `.deciduous/` directory for better organization
- [ ] Add `deciduous log` command to view git.log contents
- [ ] Document git.log purpose and location in tooling files
### DuckDB for OLAP Analytics
- [ ] Add DuckDB as optional analytical backend for decision graph queries
- SQLite is great for OLTP (single-project, real-time logging)
- DuckDB excels at OLAP (cross-project analytics, time-series queries, aggregations)
- [ ] Use cases for analytical queries:
- **Cross-project patterns**: "What decision patterns lead to successful outcomes across all my projects?"
- **Time-series analysis**: "How has my decision-making evolved over the past 6 months?"
- **Confidence calibration**: "Are my high-confidence decisions actually more successful?"
- **Path analysis**: "What's the average depth of decision trees that lead to good outcomes?"
- **Bottleneck detection**: "Which decision types take longest to resolve?"
- [ ] Implementation ideas:
- Export SQLite graphs to Parquet files for DuckDB ingestion
- `deciduous export --parquet` for analytical snapshots
- `deciduous analytics` subcommand for running OLAP queries
- Optional: federated queries across multiple project databases
- [ ] Potential analytical views:
- Decision funnel analysis (goal → decision → action → outcome conversion)
- Confidence vs outcome correlation matrix
- Branch/feature complexity metrics
- Session productivity heatmaps
- Node type distribution over time
- [ ] Visualization integration:
- Export to formats compatible with BI tools (Metabase, Superset, etc.)
- Built-in charts in TUI or web viewer
- `deciduous report` to generate analytical summaries
### Documentation Restructure
- [ ] Rethink the `docs/` folder organization
- Currently: GitHub Pages viewer lives here
- Problem: Also contains ad-hoc design docs (like MULTI_USER_SYNC.md)
- Consider: Separate `docs/` (user-facing) from `design/` (internal design docs)
- Consider: Move viewer to dedicated folder
- [ ] Consolidate documentation
- Single source of truth in CLAUDE.md (the canonical reference)
- .claude/commands/ and .windsurf/rules/ derive from CLAUDE.md patterns
- README.md stays user-facing (installation, quick start)
- [ ] Auto-generate tooling docs
- `deciduous docs` command to output markdown documentation
- Include all commands, options, examples
- Keep README.md and tooling files in sync automatically
