01
Triage
Classify incoming work, assign priority, and route to the right pipeline configuration.
Control Plane
Orchestrate repeatable
multi-repo delivery
Plan, execute, and review engineering work through a structured eight-phase pipeline. Sync tenancy-scoped state to the control plane when your team needs shared visibility.

- Multi-repo orchestration
- Resumable pipelines
- Durable handoffs
- Optional cloud sync
Pipeline
Eight phases. One pipeline.
An opinionated delivery pipeline that turns ambiguous work into structured, auditable artifacts. Each phase writes explicit outputs, so handoffs and reviews are concrete rather than conversational.
02
Research
Gather context from repositories, docs, and prior runs to inform the plan.
03
PRD
Generate a structured product requirements document scoped to the delivery.
04
Design
Produce architectural decisions and interface contracts before implementation.
05
Tasklist
Break the work into ordered, dependency-aware tasks across repos.
06
Implement
Execute code changes with checkpoint artifacts at each step.
07
Review
Automated and human review gates with structured feedback loops.
08
QA
Validate against acceptance criteria with test evidence and sign-off.

Why Orca
Built different
Most orchestrators assume cloud-first and conversation-driven handoffs. Orca starts local, writes artifacts, and only reaches for the network when you decide to share.
Local-first control
Execution stays close to your repositories and tooling. No cloud dependency required for core workflows.
Structured artifacts
Each pipeline phase produces explicit, versioned outputs. Handoffs become reviewable documents, not Slack threads.
Resumable workflows
When work is blocked, state and artifacts are preserved. Sessions restart from where they left off, not from scratch.
Optional cloud sync
Orgs, workspaces, API keys, and delivery metadata sync to the control plane when shared visibility is needed. No lock-in.
For teams
Who Orca is for
Teams and operators coordinating recurring changes across repositories, environments, and contributors who need consistency without losing control.
Platform & infra teams
Rolling out policy and runtime changes across many repos with consistency and auditability at every step.
Staff engineers
Driving repeatable delivery playbooks with explicit checkpoints and structured decision records.
Engineering leads
Need auditable artifacts for handoffs, QA gates, and incident follow-through across teams.
Security
Trust posture
Security is a first-class concern, not an afterthought. Every boundary is enforced, every handoff is signed.
Scoped API keys
Machine and operator access bound to specific organizations and workspaces.
Tenancy boundaries
Org and workspace isolation enforced across every route and data path.
Signed webhooks
Delivery model with cryptographic signatures and retry-oriented attempt tracking.
Audit trail
Every pipeline phase produces versioned artifacts that serve as a natural audit log.
