Roadmap

High-level ideas and open questions. Concrete work lives in plans/.

Done

Pull collections and globals to JSON files with virtual field stripping
Push with conflict detection (manifest-based)
Status (offline) and diff (online) commands
CRUD commands: find, create, update, delete, count, versions, restore, duplicate, upload, request
Lexical editing commands: list, get, add, replace, remove, set, link, search, diff
Per-locale file model ({id}_en.json, {id}_de.json)
Draft support on pull and push
Block-aware --field paths for lexical commands
Payload plugin for schema endpoint
Stdin support for lexical piping (--json -)
--where filtering on pull and CRUD commands
me command for auth verification
skill command for agent skill installation
Grouped --help output
Profiles for switching between CMS instances (--profile, PAYLOAD_PROFILE)

Human approval before push — commit/push model, push queue, or CMS-side review?
Lexical to Markdown conversion
Watch mode
Versions/drafts in sync workflow — pull version history to files, diff between versions
Multi-tenant support — base filters for tenant-scoped operations within a single instance (distinct from profiles, which switch between instances)
Batch upload — bulk upload of media files (images, PDFs, etc.) in a single command (e.g. from a directory), with progress and error reporting
Expose local content validation to agents — JSON Schema is consumed by IDEs today; agents can use mcp__ide__getDiagnostics when an IDE is attached, but a push-side ajv check is needed for headless runs (see plans/007-content-validation-for-agents.md)
