name: orto-init description: Initialize a new community or home garden project in the Orto management system. Use when: (1) setting up a new garden with location, size, and environmental details, (2) creating the directory structure and markdown templates for the project, (3) registering the garden in the project registry, (4) preparing questionnaire blocks for user profiling. Outputs: Garden config markdown, questionnaire templates, audit trail, directory structure ready for onboarding workflow.

Orto Init — Garden Project Initialization

Initialize a new garden project from scratch. This is the first step in the Orto workflow.

When to Use This Skill

  • New garden setup: User wants to start managing a garden with Orto
  • Garden registration: Assign unique ID, name, location, and basic environment data
  • Directory scaffolding: Create project structure (config, data, logs, media, report folders)
  • Template preparation: Generate markdown templates for questionnaire, config, calendar, etc.

Inputs

Codex collects these details from the user (or uses defaults if unavailable):

Input Type Required Example
orto_id String Yes orto_roma_testaccio_001
orto_name String Yes Orto Testaccio Roma
provincia String Yes Roma
regione String Yes Lazio
latitude Float Yes 41.8782
longitude Float Yes 12.4922
area_mq Float No (collect in onboarding) 50
climate_zone Enum No (infer from lat/lon) centro

Input Validation

  • orto_id: lowercase, underscore/hyphen only, max 64 chars (e.g., orto_NAME_NUMBER)
  • provincia + regione: normalize to Italian region list (Roma → Lazio)
  • latitude: -90 to 90, decimal
  • longitude: -180 to 180, decimal
  • area_mq: positive float if provided

Process

Phase 1: Climate Zone Inference

Map latitude to Italian macro-zone:

if lat >= 44.0:
  zone = "nord"      # Piemonte, Lombardia, Veneto, etc.
  last_frost ≈ 25 aprile
  first_frost ≈ 15 ottobre
elif lat >= 42.5:
  zone = "centro"    # Toscana, Lazio, Marche, etc.
  last_frost ≈ 15 aprile
  first_frost ≈ 25 ottobre
else:
  zone = "sud"       # Campania, Sicilia, Puglia, etc.
  last_frost ≈ 1 aprile
  first_frost ≈ 5 novembre

Phase 2: Generate Directory Structure

Create base folder: /home/<user>/.openclaw/workspace/Orti/<orto_id>/

<orto_id>/

Phase 3: Generate Markdown Templates

garden_config.md (from template)

# Configurazione Orto: [ORTO_ID]

## Dati Base
- **Nome:** [ORTO_NAME]
- **ID:** [ORTO_ID]
- **Provincia:** [PROVINCIA]
- **Regione:** [REGIONE]
- **Coordinate:** [LATITUDE], [LONGITUDE]
- **Zona climatica:** [ZONE] (Nord/Centro/Sud)
- **Ultima gelata (app.):** [LAST_FROST_DATE]
- **Prima gelata (app.):** [FIRST_FROST_DATE]
- **Lunghezza stagione:** ~[SEASON_LENGTH] giorni

## Spazio
- **Area disponibile:** ??? m²  *(riempire in onboarding blocco 2)*
- **Tipologia terreno:** ??? *(riempire in onboarding blocco 2)*
- **Esposizione solare:** ??? *(riempire in onboarding blocco 2)*

## Vincoli Ambientali
- **Vincoli agua:** *(riempire in onboarding blocco 3)*
- **Vincoli manutenzione:** *(riempire in onboarding blocco 5)*
- **Note vincoli:** *(riempire in onboarding)*

## Status
- **Data creazione:** [TODAY]
- **Stato workflow:** Init completo, in attesa onboarding

blocco_1_localizzazione.md (questionnaire template)

# Blocco 1 — Localizzazione Orto

## Domande

### Q1.1 — Dove si trova l'orto?
**Provincia:** [auto-filled]  
**Regione:** [auto-filled]  
**Indirizzo (opz.):** ___

### Q1.2 — Accessibilità
- [ ] Facile accesso da casa (< 10 min a piedi)
- [ ] Accesso moderato (10-30 min)
- [ ] Accesso difficile (> 30 min)

### Q1.3 — Proprietà/Gestione
- [ ] Proprietà privata personale
- [ ] Orto comunitario
- [ ] Terreno affittato
- [ ] Altro: ___

## Descrizione
[Spazio libero per note]

## Data risposta
[TODAY]

Phase 4: Register Garden in Registry

Append to central registry (or create if not exists):

orti_registry.json (location: /home/<user>/.openclaw/workspace/Orti/orti_registry.json)

{
  "orti": [
    {
      "orto_id": "[ORTO_ID]",
      "name": "[ORTO_NAME]",
      "provincia": "[PROVINCIA]",
      "regione": "[REGIONE]",
      "latitude": [LAT],
      "longitude": [LON],
      "zone": "[ZONE]",
      "created_at": "[TODAY_ISO]",
      "status": "init_complete",
      "path": "/home/<user>/.openclaw/workspace/Orti/[ORTO_ID]"
    }
  ]
}

Phase 5: Generate Audit Trail Entry

Create log/audit_trail.md:

# Audit Trail — [ORTO_ID]

## Event: Init

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Timestamp** | [TODAY_ISO] |
| **Event** | orto_init |
| **Status** | success |
| **Orto ID** | [ORTO_ID] |
| **Coordinator** | Codex (skill: orto-init) |
| **Details** | Garden project initialized. Config created, directory structure scaffolded, questionnaire templates generated. |

---

Output

Structure created:

  • Directory /Orti/<orto_id>/ with all subdirectories ✓
  • File garden_config.md (initial template) ✓
  • Files blocco_1...5.md (questionnaire templates, empty) ✓
  • File audit_trail.md (init event) ✓
  • Registry entry in orti_registry.json

Console output (Markdown):

# ✅ Orto Initialized

**Orto ID:** [ORTO_ID]  
**Name:** [ORTO_NAME]  
**Location:** [PROVINCIA], [REGIONE]  
**Zone:** [ZONE] (Frost: [LAST_FROST]—[FIRST_FROST])  
**Area:** ??? m² (collect in Blocco 2)  
**Path:** /home/<user>/.openclaw/workspace/Orti/[ORTO_ID]

## Next Step

→ Run **orto-onboarding** skill to collect garden profile via 5 questionnaire blocks.

**Expected time:** 15-30 minutes

Error Handling

Error Fallback
Directory already exists Skip creation; update registry and confirm with user
Invalid coordinates Use centro-Italy defaults (Lazio) and flag for user verification
Registry file missing Create new registry with this entry
Invalid orto_id format Suggest normalized ID and ask for confirmation

References

See bundled references/calendario_it.md for frost dates and climate zone details.

Scripts

This skill uses bundled Python script for deterministic directory creation:

scripts/init_new_orto_bundled.sh \
  --id <orto_id> \
  --name "<orto_name>" \
  --provincia <provincia> \
  --regione <regione> \
  --lat <latitude> \
  --lon <longitude>

Script is fully self-contained and idempotent (safe to re-run).


Examples

Example 1: Roma Garden

Input:

orto_id: orto_roma_testaccio_001
orto_name: Orto Testaccio Roma
provincia: Roma
regione: Lazio
latitude: 41.8782
longitude: 12.4922

Output:

  • Directory created: /Orti/orto_roma_testaccio_001/
  • Zone inferred: centro (last frost ~15 apr, first frost ~25 oct)
  • Status: Init complete, ready for onboarding

Example 2: Milano Garden

Input:

orto_id: orto_milano_lambro_001
orto_name: Orto Lambro Milano
provincia: Milano
regione: Lombardia
latitude: 45.4642
longitude: 9.1900

Output:

  • Directory created: /Orti/orto_milano_lambro_001/
  • Zone inferred: nord (last frost ~25 apr, first frost ~15 oct)
  • Status: Init complete

Assumptions

  1. Codex is running on a machine with filesystem access to /home/<user>/.openclaw/workspace/
  2. User has write permissions to create directories and files
  3. Climate zone is inferred from latitude alone (simplification; refine if needed)
  4. All templates are in Italian language (Italiano)
  5. Questionnaire templates are empty stubs; filled during orto-onboarding skill

Validation Checklist

  • orto_id is unique in registry
  • ✓ Directory path does not conflict with existing gardens
  • ✓ Coordinates are valid (lat/lon bounds)
  • ✓ Provincia and Regione match Italian administrative divisions
  • ✓ All template files created and readable
