Shared tools for the grainulation ecosystem.

Barn extracts the reusable utilities from wheat into a standalone package. Sprint detection, manifest generation, PDF builds, and 17 HTML templates for research artifacts.

Install

npm install @grainulation/barn

Or use directly:

npx @grainulation/barn detect-sprints --json

Tools

detect-sprints

Find sprint directories in a repo by scanning for claims.json files. Uses git history to determine which sprint is active.

barn detect-sprints              # Human-readable output
barn detect-sprints --json       # Machine-readable JSON
barn detect-sprints --active     # Print only the active sprint path
barn detect-sprints --root /path # Scan a specific directory

generate-manifest

Build a wheat-manifest.json topic map from claims, files, and git history. Gives AI tools (and humans) a single file that describes the entire sprint state.

barn generate-manifest                        # Write wheat-manifest.json
barn generate-manifest --root /path           # Target a specific repo
barn generate-manifest --out custom-name.json # Custom output path

build-pdf

Convert markdown to PDF via md-to-pdf (invoked through npx -- no local install needed).

barn build-pdf output/brief.md
