We’re pleased to announce version 0.83.1 of the Screeps GPT autonomous bot.
What’s New
New Features
- Strategic Documentation Framework: Created comprehensive strategic documentation structure for tracking bot development phases and capturing learning insights
- Created
docs/strategy/directory with phases/, learning/, and decisions/ subdirectories - Created strategic roadmap (
docs/strategy/roadmap.md) documenting current phase status (Phase 1: 85%, Phase 2: 60%, Phase 3: 100%, Phase 4: 50%, Phase 5: 100%) - Documented success metrics, blockers (telemetry #791, container placement #783), and milestones
- Created phase-specific documentation for all 5 development phases:
- Phase 1: Foundation (RCL 1-2) - Bootstrap, basic economy, container harvesting
- Phase 2: Core Framework (RCL 3-4) - Task system, spawn queue, link network
- Phase 3: Advanced Economy (RCL 6-8) - Remote harvesting, terminal, labs, factory
- Phase 4: Empire Coordination - Combat, traffic, expansion, multi-room logistics
- Phase 5: Multi-Room & Global Management - Colony management, analytics, inter-shard communication
- Migrated learning insights from CHANGELOG.md to structured documentation:
- Bootstrap phase implementation pattern (v0.44.0) - Harvester-focused early-game optimization
- Container-based harvesting pattern (v0.54.0) - Role specialization for efficiency
- Round-robin task scheduling pattern (v0.57.1) - CPU fairness preventing creep starvation
- Created Architectural Decision Records (ADR) template and guidelines
- Updated AGENTS.md to reference strategic documentation in knowledge base
- Updated README.md strategy section with links to roadmap, phases, learning insights, and ADRs
- Enables strategic planning agent to analyze bot progression objectively
- Captures institutional knowledge preventing repeated failed approaches
- Provides context for autonomous agents making improvement decisions
- Created
- Overmind Architecture Research: Comprehensive analysis of Overmind bot patterns for potential integration
- Created research documentation in
docs/research/overmind-analysis.md - Identified 12 key architectural patterns with compatibility assessments
- Documented quick wins: Task Persistence, Decorator-Based Caching, Directive System
- Prioritized implementation roadmap with complexity and value estimates
- Linked patterns to existing issues (#478, #487, #494, #392, #426, #493, #607, #614)
- Added recommendations to TASKS.md for phased implementation
- Total of 10 prioritized patterns spanning Phases 2-5
- Focused on high-value areas: CPU optimization, task management, multi-room scaling
- Created research documentation in
