## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize and govern companies of AI agents > - The README is the project’s front door, while `ROADMAP.md` is the detailed statement of shipped and planned product direction > - The existing README roadmap had fallen behind capabilities that are already available and did not explain the product’s organizing model > - That drift made current features look unfinished and left the relationship between tasks, organization, training, and infrastructure implicit > - This pull request synchronizes the roadmap preview with the detailed roadmap and introduces the four-pillar product framing > - The benefit is a more accurate, coherent first impression for users and contributors, with theme-aware visuals that render correctly on GitHub ## Linked Issues or Issue Description - **Subsystem affected:** Documentation (`README.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, and documentation assets); no runtime subsystem changes. - **Problem or motivation:** The README roadmap understated shipped capabilities, the detailed roadmap had corresponding stale statuses, and the README did not clearly explain the four product pillars that connect Paperclip’s task, organization, training, and infrastructure surfaces. - **Proposed solution:** Refresh both roadmap views from one ordered list, add the four-pillars section and light/dark graphic, and keep future capabilities explicitly marked as planned or partial. - **Alternatives considered:** Updating only `ROADMAP.md` would leave the project’s front page stale; updating only the README would create a second source of truth; a single non-theme-aware image would be less legible for half of GitHub’s color schemes. - **Roadmap alignment:** This change directly updates `ROADMAP.md` and its README preview rather than introducing an unplanned runtime feature. - **Additional context:** Searched open pull requests for related README roadmap/four-pillars work and found no duplicate. ## What Changed - Added a **The four pillars** section covering Agentic Task Manager, Org Chart for Agents, Agent Employee Training, and Agentic OS, with a theme-aware `<picture>` graphic. - Flipped four roadmap entries from ⚪ to ✅: Cloud / Sandbox agents, Artifacts & Work Products, Deep Planning, and Enforced Outcomes. - Added shipped ✅ entries for MCP Tool Gateway & Apps, per-agent Secrets Manager access, activity logging and action attribution, self-healing recovery, and agent evals/feedback; expanded the skills entry to include Skill Studio and Skills Store. - Added planned ⚪ entries for Bring-your-own-ticket-system and Connected Apps, resolving the README FAQ inconsistency around external ticket systems. - Moved Cloud deployments to 🟡 and documented the shipped multi-tenant isolation, local-to-cloud sync, and cloud-managed bootstrap scope. - Synchronized the README preview and `ROADMAP.md` ordering/statuses: 18 ✅, 9 ⚪, and 1 🟡 entry. ## Verification - `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` - Focused Node consistency check confirms README and `ROADMAP.md` have the same 28 ordered entries/statuses and expected 18 ✅ / 9 ⚪ / 1 🟡 counts. - `file doc/assets/four-pillars-light.png doc/assets/four-pillars-dark.png` confirms both assets are valid 3840×2160 RGB PNGs. - Visual QA rendered the README through GitHub’s GFM API in Chromium at GitHub content width under both light and dark `prefers-color-scheme` modes; the correct graphic swapped per theme, all links resolved, the section placement/table were correct, and `ROADMAP.md` matched the README preview. ### Visual Evidence **Light theme**  **Dark theme**  - Prettier was not run because this repository does not expose a configured `prettier` binary; markdown whitespace was checked with `git diff --check` and the rendered QA above. ## Risks - Low risk: documentation and image assets only; no application code, API contract, schema, dependencies, lockfile, or workflow changes. - Roadmap status wording can become stale as product work evolves, so future shipped capabilities should update both the README preview and `ROADMAP.md` together. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex, exact model ID `gpt-5.6-sol`, with reasoning, terminal/tool use, GitHub API access, and Paperclip control-plane integration. The model context-window size was not exposed by this execution environment. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
