# Orchard Graft Transfer

> Graft a specialist scion onto a safe rootstock output: keep the trusted base, attach expert additions at a marked join. Use when mixing a general answer with a domain specialist pass. Scope boundary — multi-model fusion → `wine-blending-fusion`; foreign genre skeleton → `cross-pollination-structure`.

# Orchard graft capability transfer

**#33** · **Domain:** Horticulture · **Category:** extension · **Difficulty:** 🟡 Medium

## Core principle

The rootstock stays alive; the scion adds fruit — the graft union is visible.

## AI problem addressed

Specialist text overwrites the safe base instead of joining it.

## Implementation

1. Generate or keep rootstock (safe, general)
2. Generate scion (specialist, bounded)
3. Join at an explicit graft marker; do not replace the rootstock

## Boundaries

- Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
