Generates 30 ideation ideas across mechanical (12), backend-enriched (12), and cross-cutting (6) tiers, all accepted at >=0.60 confidence. Mapped to REQ-061..REQ-090. Highest-impact: I-C-001 (migration ordering, 0.88) and I-C-006 (dual-write window, 0.86) reshape v0.9 execution strategy. Highest blast radius: I-M-010 (path resolver, 0.84) touches every adaptable package. Most under-specified by PRD: I-B-003 (lead applier execution model, 0.78). Seven phase-reordering flags against PRD section 23: add v0.9-P00 deprecation pre-phase, split P0a into P0a1/P0a2, design SSH-push before P01, fold emitter into P0c, add txn-design spike in P0.9-P00, bootstrap test infra in P00, fold persona reactivation + doc banners into P00. ---ci--- project: orca phase: 0 milestone: v0.9 status: ideate ---/ci---
Orca
Offline/CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, far simpler than Kubernetes.
Status
v0.1: Foundation — see .ciagent/ROADMAP.md for the 6-phase plan.
Pillars
- Simplicity — single binary, minimal dependencies
- AI-first — CLI designed for both humans and AI agents
- Offline-first — no cloud dependencies
- CLI-first — primary interface is the command line
- Security before features — NFRs ship before new functionality
- Bug fixes before features — stability is paramount
- NFRs before features — observability and auditability first
Quickstart
Install (1-liner)
# User-level install (binary at ~/.local/bin/orca, state at ~/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# System-level install (binary at /usr/local/bin/orca, state at /root/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --system
# Pin a specific version
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.4.2
Then initialize local state and verify:
orca init # creates ~/.orca/ (or /root/.orca with --system)
orca version # prints version info
orca --help # show all subcommands
Build from source
make build # Build binary to ./bin/orca
./bin/orca init # Initialize local state
./bin/orca version # Verify
Update in place
Re-running the installer updates the binary while preserving your config, database, and certificates in the namespace dir:
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# → "updated orca from v0.4.1 to v0.4.2"
