Installation

Spine ships as the synaptixs-spine package. The CLI is orchestrator; the MCP server is orchestrator-mcp. Requires Python 3.12+.

Core

pip install synaptixs-spine

This gives you deterministic, no-LLM comprehension across all 14 language front-ends and the full orchestrator CLI (55 commands, 7 areas).

pip install 'synaptixs-spine[all]'

[all] is the recommended install for the assistant plugin: every language front-end, the MCP server, and PDF + Word/Excel ingestion.

Install only what you need:

Extra	Adds
`all`	every front-end + MCP server + doc/office ingestion (recommended)
`languages`	all 14 language front-ends
`sdlc`	run the generated tests (the `sdlc feature`/`run` path)
`mcp`	the `orchestrator-mcp` assistant plugin server
`docs`	`.pdf` ingestion
`office`	`.docx`, `.xlsx` ingestion
`sql`	SQL data-layer comprehension + codegen
`go`	Go language support
`rust`	Rust language support (comprehension + Cargo-aware codegen; also needs Cargo, rustc and Rustfmt at the repository’s declared MSRV or newer, and Clippy when the repository configures it)
`php`	PHP language support (comprehension + codegen via Composer or a pinned PHPUnit PHAR)
`perl`	Perl language support (comprehension + codegen via `perl -c`, `Perl::Critic`, `prove`)
`kotlin`	Kotlin language support (comprehension + call graph; codegen via a Gradle-aware test runner for Kotlin/JVM and Android)
`clang`	optional C/C++ semantic pass — wheel-bundled libclang resolves member calls the CST cannot, adding edges only between symbols already in the graph; included in `[all]`
`media`	opt-in image OCR (Tesseract) + media transcripts — off by default
`asr`	opt-in audio/video transcription (local Whisper)
`otel`	OpenTelemetry export
