Intro Guide

This is the shortest explanation of how to approach ORCA Framework without getting buried in feature sprawl.

One Sentence

ORCA Framework is an orchestration framework that should make the right path easier, not make the user learn or install more things before useful work can start.

First Principle

Read this once and keep it in mind:

• friction-reduction-principle.md

First Workflow

Start with one path:

1. orca-onboard
2. orca-spec
3. orca-plan
4. orca-build
5. orca-review

Do not branch into optional features until that path is clear.

Treat those names as workflow labels unless your host has explicit ORCA command bindings.

Progressive Disclosure Rule

Use only the smallest layer that helps:

1. direct answer or direct action
2. basic workflow command
3. contextual integration or guide
4. optional enhancement
5. advanced feature
