# Golden Suite meta-package overview

> One-line, perf-optimized install and single front door for the whole Golden Suite, with native acceleration on by default.

`golden-suite` is a thin **meta-package**: one install that pulls in every suite tool
*plus* the native (Rust) acceleration kernels, on by default, and gives you and your
agents one canonical entry point.

It ships no data-processing logic of its own. Its whole job is to make the fast,
complete configuration the default one, so nobody has to assemble it by hand.

```bash theme={null}
pip install golden-suite      # whole suite + native acceleration, fast config by default
golden-suite doctor           # verify native is actually active
```

## What it pulls in

| Tool                                       | Role                                                             | Import                        |
| ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| [GoldenPipe](/docs/goldenpipe/overview)         | Orchestrator — chains the tools as pluggable stages. Start here. | `import goldenpipe as gp`     |
| [GoldenMatch](/docs/goldenmatch/overview)       | Entity resolution: dedupe, match, golden records                 | `import goldenmatch as gm`    |
| [GoldenCheck](/docs/goldencheck/overview)       | Data-quality scanning and validation                             | `import goldencheck as gc`    |
| [GoldenFlow](/docs/goldenflow/overview)         | Transforms and standardizers                                     | `import goldenflow as gf`     |
| [InferMap](/docs/infermap/overview)             | Schema mapping across heterogeneous sources                      | `import infermap`             |
| [GoldenAnalysis](/docs/goldenanalysis/overview) | Read-only analysis, metrics, reporting                           | `import goldenanalysis as ga` |

## Why it exists

The suite's fast path depends on the native wheels being installed *and* actually
loading. Both are easy to get subtly wrong: a wheel can be absent, or present but not
matching the host, in which case every package silently takes its pure-Python fallback
and you lose the speed without any error. `golden-suite doctor` is the check that turns
that silence into a report.

<Info>
  The `doctor` command reports which components resolved to a native kernel and which fell
  back. See [Native acceleration](/docs/goldenmatch/native) for the per-component gate and the
  `GOLDENMATCH_NATIVE` knob it reads.

## When not to use it

Install the individual packages instead when you want a minimal dependency footprint —
a service that only needs transforms should depend on `goldenflow`, not the whole suite.
The meta-package is for the common case: a workstation, a notebook, or an agent that
wants the whole toolbox working at full speed with one command.
