Risks & Mitigations

Critical Risks

Risk Impact Probability Mitigation
rmcp API changes High Medium Pin version, abstract interface
Bevy 0.17 breaking changes High High Version detection, adapters
Performance regression Medium Medium Continuous benchmarking
Claude Code integration issues High Low Early testing with Anthropic

Contingency Plans

  1. If rmcp blocks progress: Fork and patch locally
  2. If Bevy compatibility breaks: Support multiple versions
  3. If performance inadequate: Rust profiling, consider native extensions
  4. If scope creeps: Focus on MVP, defer P2/P3 items

Team Assignments

Recommended Team Structure

  • Core Team (2 engineers): MCP implementation, BRP integration
  • Quality Team (1 engineer): Testing, performance, refactoring
  • DevOps (0.5 engineer): CI/CD, observability, deployment
  • Documentation (0.5 technical writer): User docs, examples

Skill Requirements

  • Rust async/await expertise (critical)
  • Bevy ECS knowledge (important)
  • MCP protocol understanding (learnable)
  • WebSocket/JSON-RPC experience (helpful)

Notes for Product Owner

Key Decisions Needed

  1. Bevy version support: Single (0.16) or multiple?
  2. Authentication model: JWT, OAuth, or API keys?
  3. Performance targets: Latency vs throughput priority?
  4. Documentation depth: Quick start only or comprehensive?

Trade-offs to Consider

  • Speed vs Quality: MVP in 2 sprints or polished in 6?
  • Features vs Stability: All tools or core tools first?
  • Compatibility vs Simplicity: Multi-version or latest only?

Recommended Approach

Focus on getting P0 items working first (Sprint 1), then iterate based on user feedback. The 29-point critical path unlocks basic functionality and allows real-world testing.
