Roadmap

Axx is in beta. Versions start at v0.1.0, and every 0.x release is a GitHub pre-release. Until v1.0.0, a minor version bump (0.1 to 0.2) may contain breaking changes to flags or configuration; features and fixes bump the patch version. Step text is the exception: it is frozen from day one, so feature files keep working across every release.

Now

• The core runner, app lifecycle (axx up, axx down, --attach, --debug), reporters, axx init, axx doctor, axx validate, axx explain, axx steps, the MCP server and the skills.
• Packs: rest (with OpenAPI validation), mock (WireMock verification), sql, mongo and kafka.
• axx lint and axx fixtures.
• axx pack: choosing packs per project, and custom packs written in Go, loaded the same way as Axx’s.
• Editor support: the axx lsp language server, the IntelliJ plugin (feature files and debugging) and the VS Code extension.
• The OpenAPI-validating WireMock image.

Release channels (Homebrew, the install script, the container image and nimbusxr/setup-axx) go live with v0.1.0. A rolling nightly pre-release is built from main until then.

Criteria for v1.0.0

From ADR 0004, v1.0.0 ships when these are frozen:

• the axx.yaml schema, version 1;
• the CLI contract: the --json envelope, exit codes and error codes;
• a deprecation policy;

and when agent evaluations (agents writing and fixing Axx tests from acceptance criteria) meet their success target.

After v1.0.0, breaking changes to any of these need a new major version and an ADR.
