# General Bots 7.0 - Enhanced Multi-Agent Orchestration

**Target Release:** Q3 2026  
**Current Version:** 6.1.0  
**Priority:** Critical for enterprise adoption

---

## Phase 1: Enhanced Orchestration (Months 1-2) 🚀

### 1.1 ORCHESTRATE WORKFLOW Keyword
- [ ] **File:** `src/basic/keywords/orchestration.rs`
- [ ] Add `ORCHESTRATE WORKFLOW` keyword to BASIC interpreter
- [ ] Support STEP definitions with BOT calls
- [ ] Support PARALLEL branches execution
- [ ] Support conditional IF/THEN logic in workflows
- [ ] Variable passing between steps
- [ ] **Database:** Add `workflow_executions` table
- [ ] **Test:** Create workflow execution tests

### 1.2 Event Bus System
- [ ] **File:** `src/basic/keywords/events.rs`
- [ ] Add `ON EVENT` keyword for event handlers
- [ ] Add `PUBLISH EVENT` keyword for event emission
- [ ] Add `WAIT FOR EVENT` with timeout support
- [ ] **Integration:** Use existing Redis pub/sub

### 1.3 Bot Learning Enhancement
- [ ] **File:** `src/basic/keywords/bot_learning.rs`
- [ ] Add `BOT LEARN` keyword for pattern storage (extends existing `SET BOT MEMORY`)
- [ ] Add `BOT RECALL` keyword for pattern retrieval (extends existing bot memory)
- [ ] Add `BOT SHARE KNOWLEDGE` for cross-bot learning
- [ ] **Integration:** Use existing VectorDB (Qdrant) + existing bot_memories table
- [ ] **Write-back:** Store learned patterns in `.gbkb` folders for persistence
- [ ] **Test:** Bot learning and recall tests

**Note:** Difference between `SET BOT MEMORY` vs `BOT LEARN`:
- `SET BOT MEMORY`: Manual key-value storage (existing)
- `BOT LEARN`: Automatic pattern recognition from conversations

### 1.4 Database Schema
```sql
-- Add to migrations/
CREATE TABLE workflow_executions (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  bot_id UUID REFERENCES bots(id),
  workflow_name TEXT,
  current_step INTEGER,
  state JSONB,
  status TEXT DEFAULT 'running',
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

CREATE TABLE workflow_events (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  workflow_id UUID REFERENCES workflow_executions(id),
  event_name TEXT,
  event_data JSONB,
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

CREATE TABLE bot_knowledge (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  bot_id UUID REFERENCES bots(id),
  pattern TEXT,

  rating FLOAT,
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);
```

## Implementation Guidelines

### Code Standards
- [ ] **No breaking changes** - all existing `.gbai` packages must work
- [ ] **Extend existing systems** - don't rebuild what works
- [ ] **BASIC-first design** - everything accessible via BASIC keywords
- [ ] **Use existing infrastructure** - PostgreSQL, Redis, Qdrant, LXC
- [ ] **Proper error handling** - no unwrap(), use SafeCommand wrapper

### Testing Requirements
- [ ] **Unit tests** for all new BASIC keywords
- [ ] **Integration tests** for workflow execution
- [ ] **Performance tests** for multi-agent coordination
- [ ] **Backward compatibility tests** for existing `.gbai` packages

### Documentation Updates
- [ ] **File:** `docs/reference/basic-language.md` - Add new keywords
- [ ] **File:** `docs/guides/workflows.md` - Workflow creation guide
- [ ] **File:** `docs/guides/multi-agent.md` - Multi-agent patterns
- [ ] **File:** `docs/api/workflow-api.md` - Workflow REST endpoints

## Getting Started

### Immediate Next Steps
1. [ ] **Create feature branch:** `git checkout -b feature/orchestration-7.0`
2. [ ] **Set up development environment:** Ensure Rust 1.75+, PostgreSQL, Redis
3. [ ] **Start with Phase 1.1:** Implement `ORCHESTRATE WORKFLOW` keyword
4. [ ] **Create basic test:** Simple 2-step workflow execution
5. [ ] **Document progress:** Update this TODO.md as tasks complete

### Development Order
1. **Start with BASIC keywords** - Core functionality first
2. **Add database schema** - Persistence layer
3. **Implement workflow engine** - Execution logic
4. **Add visual designer** - User interface
5. **Enhance with intelligence** - AI improvements
6. **Build plugin system** - Extensibility

**Remember:** Build on existing systems, don't rebuild. Every new feature should extend what already works in General Bots.
