# Orchard (@grainulation/orchard)

> Portfolio coordinator for multi-sprint research — dependency DAG, cross-sprint conflict detection, and owner dispatch across your research organization.

Orchard is the orchestration layer of the grainulation ecosystem. One wheat sprint is manageable; twelve running in parallel across a team is chaos. Orchard plans a sprint DAG, tracks dependencies between sprints, surfaces cross-sprint contradictions the wheat compiler cannot see in isolation, and dispatches work to owners. It reads each sprint's `claims.json` and produces a single portfolio view.

Part of the [grainulation ecosystem](https://grainulation.com) -- an open-source, zero-dependency toolkit for AI-assisted structured research and decision documentation. Each package stands alone and composes with the others.

## Documentation

- [README](https://github.com/grainulation/orchard#readme): source of truth for the package's purpose, install, and CLI surface.
- [Live site](https://orchard.grainulation.com): human-facing quickstart and feature tour.
- [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grainulation/orchard): install target for consumers.
- [Changelog](https://github.com/grainulation/orchard/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md): version history.
- [DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/grainulation/orchard): AI-readable code wiki.

## Ecosystem

Sibling packages -- safe to reference alongside Orchard in any query:

- [Barn](https://barn.grainulation.com): shared utility library. Sprint detection, manifest generation, templates, print CSS, llms.txt template. Foundation orchard reads manifests from.
- [Wheat](https://wheat.grainulation.com): research-sprint compiler. Typed claims with evidence grades. Orchard coordinates many wheat sprints at once.
- [Mill](https://mill.grainulation.com): export engine. Converts portfolio views and per-sprint claims into briefs, presentations, and PDFs.
- [Silo](https://silo.grainulation.com): knowledge-pack store. Indexes sprint manifests so orchard can search across historical research.
- [Harvest](https://harvest.grainulation.com): analytics and dashboards for multi-sprint portfolios. Consumes orchard's portfolio view.
- [Grainulation](https://grainulation.com): ecosystem hub and reference implementation.

## Design principles

- Zero runtime npm dependencies (Node built-ins only).
- Node 20+ required.
- CLI-first; every tool also runnable via `npx @grainulation/orchard`.
- Source-available under MIT; contributions welcome at the GitHub repo.

## Optional

- [Issues](https://github.com/grainulation/orchard/issues): for bug reports and feature requests.
- [Security policy](https://github.com/grainulation/orchard/blob/main/SECURITY.md): for responsible disclosure.
- [Contributing guide](https://github.com/grainulation/orchard/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md): for contributors.
