This document outlines planned enhancements and improvements for the plan-lint project.
-
Policy Engine Improvements
- Clarify separation between core engine and domain-specific policies
- Add support for custom policy functions beyond basic rules
- Provide extensible policy templates to help users get started
- Build validation metrics to identify most triggered policy rules
-
Policy Authoring Tools
- Create a policy linting system to validate policy correctness
- Implement a policy testing framework to verify policy behavior
- Add policy registration mechanism for managing multiple policies
- Build documentation generator for policies
-
OPA/Rego Integration
- Add support for Open Policy Agent (OPA) policies written in Rego
- Create translators between YAML policies and Rego policies
- Implement Rego evaluation engine adapter
- Add examples of Rego policy patterns (without domain-specific content)
-
Pluggable Storage Backend
- Create interface for policy storage backends
- Implement file system storage provider
- Add support for database storage (SQL, MongoDB)
- Implement cloud storage providers (S3, Azure Blob, GCS)
- Add versioning and rollback capabilities for policies
- Performance Optimizations
- Implement batch validation to handle multiple plans concurrently
- Add caching for frequently validated plan patterns
- Profile and optimize regex matching for better performance with large plans
- Investigate GPU acceleration for large-scale validation
-
Framework Integration
- Create SDK adapters for popular agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI)
- Build CI/CD plugins for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.
- Develop a standalone web service with REST API for remote validation
-
Security Incident Reporting
- Implement a reporting mechanism for detected security issues
- Create integration with SIEM systems
- Add logging compatibility with popular security monitoring tools
- Develop threat intelligence sharing capabilities
- Create customizable alerting system for critical violations
-
Visualization and Reporting
- Create a web UI dashboard for visualizing plan validation results
- Add report export functionality (PDF, HTML, JSON)
- Implement historical validation tracking for identifying patterns over time
- Add visual indicators of risk severity and policy compliance
-
Advanced Validation Features
- Add natural language explanations of why plans were rejected
- Implement automatic plan repair suggestions to fix security issues
- Create differential validation to compare plan changes
- Add plan simulation capabilities to test execution outcomes
-
Extended Documentation
- Create a comprehensive tutorial series on policy authoring
- Document policy engine extension points for custom integrations
- Develop animated visualizations of the validation process
- Create policy authoring guidelines and best practices
-
Testing Enhancements
- Expand test coverage with more edge cases
- Create a validation benchmark suite with known-vulnerable plans
- Implement property-based testing for policy engine
- Add continuous fuzzing for validation functions
-
Ecosystem Tools
- Build a policy generator wizard to help users create policies
- Create a web-based playground for testing policies against sample plans
- Develop a VS Code extension for in-editor policy authoring and testing
-
Machine Learning Enhancements
- Train a model to identify potentially risky patterns not covered by explicit policies
- Implement anomaly detection for unusual plan structures
- Build adaptive risk scoring based on historical validation data
-
Compliance Helpers
- Add example policy patterns for common compliance requirements (without full implementation)
- Create compliance documentation helpers
- Implement policy coverage analysis for compliance requirements
