Milestone 1.1

Summary

Project Setup & Database Foundation

Timeline

Weeks 1-4

Goal

Establish the technical foundation and database schema for the entire system.

Deliverables

  • ✅ Monorepo structure with Turborepo configured
  • ✅ PostgreSQL database with Prisma ORM setup
  • ✅ Complete database schema implementation:
    • User, Ticker, UserTicker models
    • DataSource model for collected data
    • Newsletter and NewsletterContent models
    • UserFeedback and AgentMetrics models
    • ABTest model
    • Configuration tables: AgentConfig, SourceConfig, UserPreferences, SystemConfig, ABTestConfig
  • ✅ Database migrations and seed scripts
  • ✅ Redis setup for BullMQ queue system
  • ✅ Environment variable management and configuration
  • ✅ Basic CI/CD pipeline setup
  • ✅ Development environment documentation

Success Criteria

Milestone 1.2

Summary

Core Agent Framework & Configuration System

Timeline

Weeks 5-8

Goal

Build the foundational agent architecture and dynamic configuration management system.

Deliverables

  • ✅ Base Agent class with common functionality (error handling, retries, logging)
  • ✅ Configuration management system:
    • Database-driven config loading
    • Config caching with TTL
    • Hot-reload API endpoint
    • Config versioning and rollback
    • Configuration hierarchy resolution (user → ticker → agent → system)
    • Zod schema validation for all configs
  • ✅ Agent registry and execution framework
  • ✅ Job queue system with BullMQ:
    • Queue setup and configuration
    • Job types and priorities
    • Retry mechanisms with exponential backoff
    • Job monitoring and status tracking
  • ✅ Scheduler Agent implementation:
    • Pipeline orchestration (data collection → analysis → content generation → QA → delivery)
    • Cron-based and interval-based scheduling
    • Job creation and prioritization per user-ticker combination
    • Parallel execution management (parallel data collection/analysis, sequential content generation per user)
    • Stage-level error handling and retries
    • Pipeline metrics collection and reporting
  • ✅ Shared types package (packages/shared/)
  • ✅ Logging and monitoring infrastructure
  • ✅ Unit tests for agent framework (80%+ coverage)

Success Criteria

  • Agents can be instantiated and configured from database
  • Configuration changes apply without code deployment
  • Job queue processes jobs successfully
  • Scheduler Agent can orchestrate multi-stage pipeline execution
  • Scheduler Agent handles parallel and sequential execution correctly
  • All framework code has comprehensive test coverage

Milestone 1.3

Summary

Build the core Next.js web application with authentication and basic UI.

Timeline

Weeks 9-12

Goal

Build the core Next.js web application with authentication and basic UI.

  • ✅ Next.js 16+ App Router application (apps/web/)
  • ✅ NextAuth.js authentication setup:
    • Email/password authentication
    • OAuth providers (Google, GitHub)
    • Session management
    • Protected routes
  • ✅ Core dashboard pages:
    • /dashboard - Overview page with layout
    • /auth/login and /auth/signup pages
    • /settings - User preferences page (UI only)
  • ✅ Database package (packages/database/) with Prisma client exports
  • ✅ UI component library foundation:
    • Design system setup (Tailwind CSS or similar)
    • Reusable components (Button, Card, Input, etc.)
    • Responsive layout components
  • ✅ API route structure for future endpoints
  • ✅ Basic error handling and loading states

Success Criteria

  • Users can sign up, log in, and access dashboard
  • Dashboard displays basic user information
  • All pages are responsive and accessible
  • Authentication flow works end-to-end
