Roadmap

Straight Jacket is under active development. Here's what's on the horizon.

Planned

Docker support — use Docker as an alternative container runtime
Apple Containers — native macOS container support when it ships
Alternative build systems — Buildah, Buildkit, Nix-based container builds
Custom lifecycle hooks — user-defined hooks for config sync, post-build, pre-launch, and teardown events
GPG-based commit signing — in addition to SSH signing
Network restrictions — configurable host/IP firewalling for tighter sandboxing
Auto-detection — automatically select presets based on repo contents (Cargo.toml -> rust, package.json -> full-stack)
Additional presets — Go, Zig, Python ML, and more
sj status — management subcommands for inspecting running containers
Plugin system — third-party units and presets distributed as packages
Multi-agent orchestration — run multiple agents in coordinated containers
