🎭 Orchestro

Your AI Development Conductor - From Product Vision to Production Code

Transform product ideas into reality with an intelligent orchestration system that bridges Product Managers, Developers, and AI. Orchestro conducts the entire development symphony: task decomposition, dependency tracking, pattern learning, and real-time progress visualization.

---

🎯 Why Orchestro?

The Problem:

• Product Managers lose track of development progress
• Developers struggle with context switching and dependencies
• Knowledge is lost between Claude Code sessions
• No single source of truth for what's being built

The Solution: Orchestro orchestrates the entire development lifecycle:

• 👔 For PMs: Visual Kanban board, user story decomposition, progress tracking
• 👨‍💻 For Developers: AI-powered task analysis, dependency graphs, pattern learning
• 🤖 For Claude Code: Structured workflows, enriched context, knowledge retention
• 📊 For Everyone: Real-time dashboard, transparent progress, complete audit trail

Think Trello × Jira × AI - but designed specifically for AI-assisted development.

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: One-Command Install ⚡ (Recommended)

npx @orchestro/init

That's it! The installer will:

• ✅ Download and setup Orchestro
• ✅ Apply database migrations to Supabase
• ✅ Configure Claude Code automatically
• ✅ Setup Supabase connection
• ✅ Start the dashboard
• ✅ Verify everything works

Interactive prompts:

🎭 Orchestro Setup Wizard

? Supabase connection string: ████████
? Project name: My Project
? Install location: ~/orchestro

⚙️  Setting up...
✓ Orchestro installed
✓ Claude Code configured
✓ Database ready

🎉 Done! Restart Claude Code and ask:
   "Show me orchestro tools"

---

Option 2: Manual Install (5 Minutes)

1. Prerequisites

# Node.js 18+
node --version

# Supabase account (free tier works great)
# Sign up at https://supabase.com

2. Database Setup on Supabase

Create your Supabase project:

1. Go to https://supabase.com and create a new project
2. Wait for the database to be provisioned (~2 minutes)
3. Go to Settings → Database and copy the Connection String (Transaction mode)

Apply database schema:

# Clone this repo first
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/orchestro.git
cd orchestro

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Set your Supabase connection string
export DATABASE_URL="your-supabase-connection-string"

# Apply all migrations to create the schema
npm run migrate

Verify database setup:

# The migrate script will show you all tables created:
# You should see:
# ✅ Running migration: code_entities
# ✅ Running migration: add_tasks_metadata
# ✅ Running migration: fix_status_transition_trigger
# ✅ Running migration: event_queue
# ✅ Running migration: auto_update_user_story_status
# ✅ Running migration: add_task_metadata_fields
# ✅ Running migration: add_pattern_frequency_tracking

# Or verify manually via Supabase dashboard:
# Go to Database → Tables and check all tables are created

Get your credentials:

# From Supabase Dashboard:

# 1. DATABASE_URL (for migrations & MCP server)
#    Settings → Database → Connection String → Transaction mode
#    Example: postgresql://postgres:[password]@db.[project].supabase.co:5432/postgres

# 2. SUPABASE_URL (for API calls)
#    Settings → API → Project URL
#    Example: https://[project].supabase.co

# 3. SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY (for admin operations - keep secret!)
#    Settings → API → service_role key
#    Example: eyJhbG...

3. Quick Setup Script

# Run interactive setup
npm run setup

# Or manual configuration:
cat > .env << EOF
DATABASE_URL=your-supabase-connection-string
SUPABASE_URL=your-supabase-url
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=your-service-key
EOF

4. Configure Claude Code

# Auto-configure (recommended)
npm run configure-claude

# Or manually edit:
open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Add:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orchestro": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/orchestro/dist/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URL": "your-connection-string"
      }
    }
  }
}

5. Start Dashboard

npm run dashboard
# 🌐 Opens http://localhost:3000

6. Verify Installation

# Restart Claude Code, then ask:
"Show me all orchestro tools"

# You should see 60 tools! 🎭

---

Option 3: Add to Existing Project

Already have a Claude Code project? Add Orchestro:

# In your project directory
npx @orchestro/add

# Or via Claude Code config:
claude mcp add orchestro

See Integration Guide for existing project setup.

🎭 Use Cases

📱 For Product Managers

Scenario: New feature request from stakeholder

1. Write user story in dashboard:
   "User should be able to export report as PDF"

2. Click "Decompose with AI"
   → Orchestro creates 5 technical tasks with dependencies

3. Monitor Kanban board:
   → See real-time progress as Claude implements
   → Risks flagged automatically (e.g., "PDF library size impact")
   → Hover over task for technical details

4. Review & Accept:
   → See code diffs in plain English
   → Rollback if needed
   → Export timeline for stakeholder report

💻 For Developers

Scenario: Implementing complex feature

1. Pick task from Kanban board

2. Ask Claude:
   "Prepare task [task-id] for execution"
   → Orchestro analyzes codebase
   → Shows: files to modify, dependencies, risks

3. Get enriched context:
   → Past similar implementations
   → Relevant patterns (with success rates!)
   → Risk mitigation strategies

4. Implement with confidence:
   → Conflict detection warns if other tasks touch same files
   → Pattern learning suggests best approaches
   → Complete history for rollback safety

🤝 For Teams

Scenario: Cross-functional collaboration

PM writes story → AI decomposes → Dev implements → All see progress

• PM: Non-technical Kanban view
• Dev: Technical dependency graph
• Claude: Enriched implementation context
• Everyone: Real-time updates, complete transparency

💡 Real-World Example

Story: E-commerce Checkout Flow

PM writes in dashboard:

"Customer should complete purchase with
credit card payment and email confirmation"

Orchestro decomposes (AI-powered):

1. ✅ Design checkout database schema (2h) - No dependencies
2. ✅ Implement payment service integration (4h) - Depends on: #1
3. ✅ Create checkout API endpoints (3h) - Depends on: #2
4. ✅ Build checkout UI components (4h) - Depends on: #3
5. ✅ Add email notification service (2h) - Depends on: #3
6. ✅ Implement order confirmation flow (3h) - Depends on: #4, #5

Total: 18 hours, 6 tasks, dependencies mapped automatically

Developer flow (with autoAnalyze=true):

// 1. Decompose story (auto-analyzes tasks)
decompose_story("Customer checkout with payment")
// → Creates 6 tasks
// → Auto-generates analysis prompts for tasks without dependencies
// → Returns analysisPrompts[] ready to use

// 2. Claude reviews analysis prompts
// Prompts include: files to check, patterns to find, risks to identify

// 3. Claude analyzes codebase using the prompts
// Finds: existing payment tables, similar schemas
// Risks: None (new table)

// 4. Save analysis results
save_task_analysis({
  taskId: "task-1-id",
  filesToCreate: ["migrations/002_checkout.sql"],
  dependencies: [{type: "file", name: "001_orders.sql", action: "uses"}],
  risks: []
})

// 5. Get enriched context
get_execution_prompt("task-1-id")
// → Returns: related code, patterns, guidelines

// 6. Implement!
// Claude writes migration, runs tests

// 7. Record learning
add_feedback({
  pattern: "e-commerce checkout schema",
  type: "success",
  feedback: "Stripe integration smooth"
})

Key improvement: Step 1 now auto-prepares analysis, reducing manual workflow steps!

PM sees:

• ✅ Task 1 → Done (real-time update)
• 🟡 Task 2 → In Progress (Claude working)
• ⏳ Tasks 3-6 → Blocked (waiting for dependencies)
• 📊 Progress: 17% (1/6 tasks done)

---

🧪 Pattern Learning in Action

Automatic Failure Detection (Saves Time!)

// Scenario: Regex parsing keeps failing

// Attempt 1
add_feedback({
  pattern: "regex pattern matching",
  type: "failure",
  feedback: "Unescaped metacharacters broke parser"
})

// Attempt 2
add_feedback({
  pattern: "regex pattern matching",
  type: "failure",
  feedback: "Special chars not sanitized"
})

// Attempt 3
add_feedback({
  pattern: "regex pattern matching",
  type: "success",
  feedback: "Finally worked after sanitizing"
})

// Now Orchestro knows...
detect_failure_patterns()
// 🚨 Returns:
// {
//   pattern: "regex pattern matching",
//   failure_rate: 66.67%,
//   risk_level: "medium",
//   recommendation: "⚡ Review sanitization first!"
// }

// Next time, before using regex:
check_pattern_risk("regex pattern matching")
// ⚠️ Warning: "67% failure rate (2/3).
//    Common issue: Unescaped metacharacters.
//    Mitigation: Use sanitization helper first."

Result: Future regex tasks complete faster with fewer errors!
