+# Current Project Progress
+
+This document summarizes the present state of the Overseer project and outlines next steps for continued development. Little overseer agents can reference this summary to understand where work is needed.
+
+## Completed Milestones
+
+- **Action skeleton** created with `action.yml` and initial `dist/index.js`.
+- **Basic overseer logic** implemented including posting PR summaries to the Memory Graph and creating follow‑up issues.
+- **Todoist integration** reads API key from MCP config and optionally sends tasks.
+- **CLI utility** (`bin/overseer.js`) allows running Overseer against a repository locally.
+- **Roadmap automation** updates `ROADMAP.md` when pull requests are merged.
+- **Jest tests** and CI workflow added, though dependencies are not currently installed in this environment.
+- **VM setup script** (`setup_overseer_vm.sh`) provisions a machine with Node.js, MCP servers, and optional Docker.
+
+## Outstanding Items
+
+- The roadmap in `ROADMAP.md` still lists initial tasks that are not checked off. Ensure completed milestones are reflected here.
+- CI configuration referenced in the roadmap is not present. Set up GitHub Actions or another CI system to run tests.
+- Tests currently fail to execute because `jest` is not installed on the runner. Install dependencies or use a container with them preinstalled.
+- Review `dist/index.js` for duplicate or obsolete code sections introduced by previous merges.
+
+## Suggested Next Steps for Little Agents
+
+1. **Update ROADMAP.md** to check off items that are already finished and add any new milestones.
+2. **Establish continuous integration** so that running `npm test` succeeds in the project CI and ensures coverage.
+3. **Clean up the compiled `dist/index.js`** file if needed, or ensure the build process generates a fresh file.
+4. **Document configuration options** in more detail within README or a new `docs/` directory.
