ORCA Framework
ORCA Framework is a workflow layer for Codex and Claude Code. It gives you a clearer first run, stronger orchestration, better long-running goal structure, and tighter review discipline without hiding the underlying harness.

Core Workflow¶
The default ORCA path is:
orca-onboard -> orca-spec -> orca-plan -> orca-build -> orca-review
This is the main teaching path and the main production path.
What ORCA Adds¶
- setup and onboarding that ask for the right context up front
- host-aware routing for Codex and Claude Code features like
/goaland side sessions - stronger subagent orchestration, handoff packets, and merge discipline
- explain and side-session flows that do not derail the main run
- better long-running work structure with bounded autonomy and clearer checkpoints
