# Project Roadmap
## 🎯 Foundation Complete
### ✅ Major Implementation Completed (July 2025)
**Modular Architecture Transformation**
- ✅ Split monolithic `content.applescript` into 5 specialized modules:
- `text_content.applescript` - Theme-aware text operations
- `media_content.applescript` - Image and media handling
- `shapes_tables.applescript` - Shapes and table operations
- `formatting.applescript` - Style and formatting management
- `object_management.applescript` - Object manipulation utilities
**Theme-Aware Content System**
- ✅ `setSlideContent()` - Smart content placement using Keynote's design elements
- ✅ `getSlideDefaultElements()` - Automatic theme element detection
- ✅ Enhanced functions using default title/body items vs manual positioning
- ✅ Graceful fallback mechanisms for compatibility
**Enhanced Integration & Quality**
- ✅ Updated `ContentTools` class with modular `script_files` mapping
- ✅ Added `run_function()` method to `AppleScriptRunner` for modular execution
- ✅ Architecture verification completed - all 11 core files validated
- ✅ Translation of all Chinese comments to English
- ✅ Comprehensive documentation organized in `docs/` folder
**Current Capabilities: 26 Total Tools**
- Professional presentation creation with theme-aware functions
- Modular, maintainable codebase with specialized AppleScript files
- Complete documentation for users and developers
## 🚀 Next Development Phases
