Bootspring v6.0 transforms the platform from a powerful backend engine into a live, visual, collaborative AI development platform — the only tool that combines swarm orchestration, visual workflow design, and autonomous code generation with human review gates.
What's New
Real-Time Collaboration (WebSocket Layer)
The swarm engine now streams live to all connected clients via WebSocket:
- Shared cursors — see who's viewing what in the live topology graph
- Agent output streaming — token-by-token output from running agents
- Live task queue — watch tasks transition through states in real-time
- Multiplayer presence — avatars, typing indicators, and view awareness
- Connection resilience — auto-reconnect with bounded event replay
Visual Workflow Builder
No more reading JSON execution plans. The new DAG editor lets you:
- Drag-and-drop action, gate, fork, join nodes onto an infinite canvas
- Import from GOAP — load any GoalPlanner execution plan visually
- Export to execution — serialize your visual design back to runnable tasks
- 8+ templates — code-review, deploy, test-suite, refactor, and more
- Human gates — pause for approval before critical steps
- Conditional branching — if/else routing based on step output
- Loop nodes — repeat sub-graphs until condition met
AI Code Generation Pipelines
The endgame feature for AI-assisted development:
- Describe what you want in natural language
- Plan — architecture and file structure generated automatically
- Generate — code produced file-by-file with project style matching
- Test — unit tests generated and executed automatically
- Self-repair — if tests fail, errors fed back for retry (max 3)
- Review — AI quality scoring + human review gate
- PR — branch created, diff previewed, PR opened automatically
Multi-model routing ensures the right model handles each stage: Opus for architecture, Sonnet for implementation, Haiku for tests.
Multi-Channel Gateway
Connect any messaging platform to your agents:
- Slack — webhook verification, message routing
- Discord — PING/PONG handling, command dispatch
- WhatsApp — inbound message processing
- Custom webhooks — any HTTP source with configurable parsing
- NLU routing — intent detection routes to the right agent automatically
- Rate limiting — per-channel throttling prevents abuse
Structured Memory
A proper memory system with hybrid search:
- 8 categories — decision, pattern, context, reference, insight, error, milestone, note
- Hybrid search — configurable blend of vector similarity (cosine) and keyword relevance (BM25)
- Daily digests — auto-generated summaries of what was learned each day
- Timeline queries — "what happened last week?" with chronological ordering
- Consolidation — merge related memories to reduce noise
Plugin Registry
Extend Bootspring with installable plugins:
- Manifest-first — tools, hooks, agents, skills declared in a typed manifest
- Dependency resolution — plugins can depend on other plugins
- 5 built-in plugins — code-quality, git-automation, testing, documentation, deployment
- Enable/disable — toggle plugins without uninstalling
- Tool invocation — plugins expose tools callable from agents
Session Message Queues
Production-grade message handling for agent sessions:
- Priority queues — higher-priority messages processed first
- Ack/Nack — guaranteed delivery with visibility timeout
- Dead-letter — failed messages quarantined for inspection
- Rate limiting — token-bucket throttling per session
- Pause/resume — freeze processing without losing messages
