The project is 14 days old at 0.4.0, its file reads reach the whole home directory without approval, and it has no security policy.\n\n**Orchid.** Orchid is a paid executive assistant over iMessage, SMS and Telegram that holds drafts and calendar holds until the owner approves, with a public status page and a named subprocessor list. No outside agent can call it, there's no free tier, and its privacy policy allows training a personal model while its blog says it never trains.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LearnHarness\n\n1. Use the bundled skill (`skills/learnharness/SKILL.md`) to read a learner's record. It needs Python 3.10 or later and writes nothing\n2. Pass `--format json` before the subcommand, for example `python3 -B scripts/graph.py --format json propositions`\n3. Treat stored answer keys and teacher prose as model-authored. A proposition in the graph is not evidence the learner understood it\n4. Do not read `auth.json`, which sits one folder above the data folder and holds provider keys in plain text\n5. Close the app or re-read when a stable snapshot matters. The readers do not lock files while the app writes\n\n### Orchid\n\n1. Don't plan to call Orchid from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, SMS and Telegram threads.\n2. Check status.orchid.ai before telling the owner Orchid is down. The 7 August incident moved it to a new number.\n3.

Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.\n",
