## Vision

> **"A toolbox that travels with you - always the right tools, never too many, ready to grow."**

Fastband Agent Control transforms AI-assisted development from a project-specific setup into a **universal platform** that:

- Works with **any AI provider** (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, local LLMs)
- Adapts to **any project type** (web, mobile, desktop, API)
- Scales from **solo developers to enterprise teams**
- Provides **intelligent tool recommendations** based on your project
- Includes **built-in ticket management** that adapts to your workflow
- Enables **multi-agent coordination** for parallel AI workflows

---

## Features

### AI-Agnostic Design
```python
# Switch between providers seamlessly
from fastband import get_provider

claude = get_provider("claude")
openai = get_provider("openai")
local = get_provider("ollama")
```

### Tool Garage System
- **Core tools** always available
- **AI-recommended** tools based on your project
- **Dynamic loading** - add tools as your project grows
- **Performance monitoring** to prevent overload

### Adaptive Ticket Manager
| Project Type | Interface |
|--------------|-----------|
| Web App | CLI + Web Dashboard |
| Desktop App | Embedded Panel (Ctrl+Shift+T) |
| Mobile App | CLI + Companion Web |
| API/Library | CLI only |

### Multi-Agent Coordination
- **Clearance system** for parallel work
- **Hold directives** for critical operations
- **Rebuild announcements** to prevent conflicts

### Automated Backups
- **Change detection** - only backup when needed
- **Multiple database support** - SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL
- **Configurable retention** policies

### Webhooks
- **External notifications** for ticket and agent events
- **HMAC signatures** (SHA-256) for secure verification
- **Automatic retries** with exponential backoff
- **CLI management** via `fastband webhooks`

```bash
# Create a webhook for ticket events
fastband webhooks create https://api.slack.com/webhook \
  -e ticket.completed -e ticket.claimed \
  -n "Slack Notifications"

# Test the webhook
fastband webhooks test <webhook-id>
```

### Enterprise Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **API Versioning** | `/api/v1/` prefix with deprecation headers |
| **JWT Authentication** | Role-based access control with FastAPI |
| **OpenTelemetry** | Distributed tracing (OTLP/Jaeger/Zipkin) |
| **Circuit Breakers** | Resilience for AI provider failures |
| **Redis Sessions** | Horizontal scaling support |
| **Database Migrations** | Alembic schema versioning |

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Standard installation (includes CLI + Hub dashboard)
pip install fastband-agent-control

# With Claude support
pip install fastband-agent-control[claude]

# With all AI providers
pip install fastband-agent-control[all-providers]

# Full installation (all features + dev tools)
pip install fastband-agent-control[full]
```

### Initialize a Project

```bash
cd /your/project
fastband init
```

This launches the setup wizard that will:
1. Detect your project type
2. Recommend AI provider
3. Configure GitHub integration
4. Select appropriate tools
5. Set up ticket management
6. Configure backups

### Basic Commands

```bash
# Check status
fastband status

# List available tools
fastband tools list

# Manage tickets
fastband tickets list
fastband tickets create "Add user authentication"
fastband tickets claim 1 --agent "MCP_Agent1"

# Backup management
fastband backup list
fastband backup create --name "before_refactor"

# Agent coordination
fastband agents status
fastband ops read --since 1h

# Webhook management
fastband webhooks list
fastband webhooks create URL -e ticket.completed
fastband webhooks test <id>
```
