What it does
Orca CLI is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Use the public orca CLI to operate Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, artifacts, skill sharing, worktree comments, and the browser embedded inside the Orca app. Use when the user says "$orca-cli", "use orca cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "cardStatus", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "terminal send", "full handoff", "handover", "give this to another agent", "another worktree", "Orca browser", "orca artifacts", "share HTML/Markdown"…
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees and Desktop control. It works with Git and Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- The user says $orca-cli
- Spawn codex/claude in a worktree
- Read/wait/send Orca terminal
- Give this to another agent
Example prompts
- “$orca-cli”
- “use orca cli”
- “Orca worktree”
- “/orca-cli”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Orca CLI loads about 985 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 206 tokens; SKILL.md has 450 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 450 words (~985 tokens).
“This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca CLI reference is served by the orca binary itself — kept out of this file on purpose so it can never drift from the binary that…”
