  - Mark comments as resolved/addressed from TUI
  - Reply to comments directly from TUI
- [ ] **Code review workflow**
  - Navigate between commented locations
  - Jump from decision node to related PR/commit comments
  - See review status and approval state

### 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**
  - Add context-sensitive help hints in footer

  - Highlight keyboard shortcuts in help overlay
  - Consider modal indicator showing current mode prominently
- [ ] **Onboarding experience**
  - First-run tutorial or guided tour
  - Progressive disclosure of advanced features
  - Cheat sheet generation (`deciduous tui --help-keys`)
- [ ] **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
