What Tilth does
A local-first garden almanac & planner — but really an experiment in agent-first, no-hand-coding development: every line written by Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code, pair-designed through conversation rather than typed by hand.

README
Tilth
*A local-first almanac for everything you grow.*
Tilth keeps a personal collection of plant **cheatsheets** — one scannable, image-dense page per plant, merged from several sources — lets you record what you actually grow, and gives you the **month-by-month jobs** for the garden you have. Browser-only, no server, nothing leaves your machine.
**Status:** v1 — feature-complete. The design lives in [`docs/spec.md`](docs/spec.md) and the decision trail in [`docs/decisions.md`](docs/decisions.md). Built on the same chassis as its sibling project [Forkast](https://github.com/paul80nd/forkast).
What makes it tick
- Merge imports. Reference data is filled from several sources over time. An import fragment carries only some fields — present fields overwrite, absent fields are left alone — and every field remembers which source set it.
- Inventory-first. You enter the plants you have, then look those specific ones up.
- Hierarchy. Plants form a taxonomy (family → genus → species → cultivar); guidance and jobs attach at a level and aggregate down to the things you grow.
- Cheatsheet, not encyclopaedia. Dense structured data held locally; long prose guidance linked, not re-hosted.
Privacy firewall
Generic-input by design. Source knowledge is data + config + a private adapter, never committed code. Real data and adapters are gitignored (`data/private/`, `adapters-private/`, `*.private.json`); the committed repo carries only the generic schema, the app, generic importers, and **fictional** demo data.
