Choose Your Path¶
Every path begins with a Mission. Pick an optional helper only when it reduces the work required to prove a criterion.
| Situation | Product path | Optional helper |
|---|---|---|
| I want to see the product work | Run Mission Control Demo | none |
| I am brand new | Complete First Workflow | Beginners Guide |
| I have a concrete repository task | Create criteria with Quickstart | orca-spec, orca-plan, orca-build, orca-review |
| My request is still vague | Create a Mission for the decision or artifact needed | orca-onboard, orca-research |
| I am moving off GStack or GSD | Keep the outcome and evidence in a Mission | Migration Guide |
| I need controller or subagent work | Keep one parent-owned Mission | orca-controller, orca-delegate |
| I need unattended progress | Bound it with Mission criteria and blockers | orca-background, orca-keep-going |
| I inherited a legacy system | Make the audit or modernization slice the Mission outcome | orca-legacy |
The helper may change how work is performed. It never changes what must be proved before the Mission can complete.
