+# Ruby Butler Ideas & Future Features
+
+This document contains a curated collection of ideas and potential enhancements for Ruby Butler's evolution.
+
+## Central Configuration System
+- [ ] **Global `rb.toml` configuration file**
+  - Respect XDG Base Directory Specification on Unix systems  
+  - Override default settings like Ruby installation directories
+  - Configure default Ruby version preferences
+
+- [ ] **Local `rb.toml` project files**
+  - Project-specific Ruby version requirements
+  - Basic project information (name, version, description, author, license)
+  - Custom project scripts (npm-inspired)
+
+## npm-Inspired Script System
+- [ ] **Custom project scripts in `rb.toml`**
+  - `rb setup` - Project initialization and dependency installation
+  - `rb lint` - Code quality checks (RuboCop, etc.)
+  - `rb test` - Test suite execution
+  - `rb build` - Build/compile project artifacts
+  - Custom user-defined scripts with project-specific meanings
+
+## TOML-Based Gemfile Alternative
+- [ ] **Merge Gemfile functionality into `rb.toml`**
+  - Dependencies section with version constraints
+  - Development vs production dependency groups
+  - Platform-specific dependencies
+  - Maintain compatibility with existing Gemfile ecosystem
+
+## Enhanced Dependency Management
+- [ ] **Custom install/resolve implementation for extra speed**
+  - Faster dependency resolution algorithms
+  - Parallel gem downloads and installations
+  - Better conflict resolution strategies
+
+## Ruby Installation Management
+- [ ] **Proxy ruby installing to other tools and auto-install when missing**
+  - Detect and proxy to `ruby-install`, `ruby-build`, `rbenv`, etc.
+  - Automatic Ruby version installation when missing
+  - Support for multiple Ruby installation backends
+
+## Project Generator
+- [ ] **Simple project scaffolding**
+  - `rb new <project>` - Create new Ruby projects with templates
+  - Simple gem skeleton generation (proxy to `bundle gem` when appropriate)
+  - Custom project templates with `rb.toml` configuration
+  - Template system for different project types (gem, app, script)

 **🎭 Development Fun**: The butler-themed language and refined terminology are just for entertainment during development and will be updated before any real production release, if any.
