Inputs

• Env: optional RELAY_SKILL_ROOT defaults to skills.
• Files: an already-accepted program/epic contract as JSON (--program-file). Schema: references/accepted-program-schema.md.
• Script: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-orca/scripts/plan.js (read-only wave-plan compiler).
• Script: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-orca/scripts/probe-orca.js (fail-closed Orca capability probe).
• Script: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-orca/scripts/run.js (admission-gated provenance-injected operator dispatch).
• Script: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-orca/scripts/status.js (read-only live reconciler over receipt + relay + GitHub + Orca).
• Script: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-orca/scripts/resume.js (crash-safe, reconcile-first, idempotent resumption from the receipt).
• Script: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-orca/scripts/stop.js (coordinator-only stop; never touches relay runs or durable state).

relay-orca

⛔ SUPERSEDED — FROZEN 2026-07-24. DO NOT USE. relay-orca was a learning spike that proved what program-altitude orchestration costs; it is retired in favor of a lighter decompose-deep/execute-flat successor. It is no longer maintained and must not be invoked. Rationale, salvaged principles, and successor pointer: SUPERSEDED.md. Everything below is preserved as-is for reference only.

Use when

• You have an already-accepted program/epic contract (stable id, tracker-backed accepted outcomes, program exit gates) and want it compiled into bounded, ordered operator waves — invoked explicitly.
• You want a read-only preview of the wave plan, decision gates, and expected evidence before any dispatch.
