Orchard

12 sprints running. One command to see them all. Orchard coordinates parallel research across teams with dependency graphs, conflict detection, and unified dashboards.

Install

npm install -g @grainulation/orchard

Or use directly:

npx @grainulation/orchard status

Quick start

Create orchard.json in your project root:

{
  "sprints": [
    {
      "path": "./sprints/auth-scaling",
      "question": "How should we scale auth for 10x traffic?",
      "depends_on": [],
      "assigned_to": "alice",
      "deadline": "2026-03-20",
      "status": "active"
    },
    {
      "path": "./sprints/data-migration",
      "question": "What's the safest migration path for the user table?",
      "depends_on": ["./sprints/auth-scaling"],
      "assigned_to": "bob",
      "deadline": "2026-03-25",
      "status": "active"
    }
  ]
}

Then:

orchard plan        # Show the dependency graph
orchard status      # Check status of all sprints
orchard sync        # Sync status from sprint directories
orchard dashboard   # Generate unified HTML dashboard

What it does

• Sprint dependency graphs -- "sprint B needs sprint A's results first"
• Cross-sprint conflict detection -- when two sprints reach opposing conclusions
• Team assignment -- who's running which sprint
• Unified status dashboard across all active sprints
• Sprint scheduling and deadline tracking
• Topological sort -- determines execution order, flags cycles

CLI

Conflict detection

Orchard flags two types of cross-sprint conflicts:

1. Opposing recommendations -- two sprints make recommendations on the same topic that contradict
2. Constraint-recommendation tension -- one sprint's constraints conflict with another's recommendations

Zero third-party dependencies

Depends only on @grainulation/barn (internal ecosystem utilities); no third-party runtime deps. Node built-ins otherwise.
