What it does

Orca Chat Visuals is an agent skill from stablyai/orca. Show a chart, diagram, table, report or mockup inline in this Orca chat as an HTML page. Use when a visual would help the user understand your answer. Only available when the ORCACHATVISUALSDIR environment variable is set.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering HTML artifacts and Secrets management. The repository describes itself as: Orca is the ADE for working with a fleet of parallel agents. Run any coding agent with your own subscription. Available on desktop, mobile and remote runtime. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A visual would help the user understand your answer
  • Tasks that involve HTML artifacts
  • Tasks that involve Secrets management

Example prompts

  • “/orca-chat-visuals”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbad641. 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 Chat Visuals loads about 413 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~413

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.

Inline visuals in an Orca chat

Orca can show an HTML page inside your reply. Use one whenever a visual would make the answer clearer.

Writing the page

  • Save it in the folder named by ORCA_CHAT_VISUALS_DIR (printenv ORCA_CHAT_VISUALS_DIR; in PowerShell $env:ORCA_CHAT_VISUALS_DIR). If it's unset or you can't write there, skip the visual.
  • One complete HTML file per visual, directly in that folder, under 512 KB, with a new file name each time (e.g. latency-by-region-7c1e.html): letters, digits, ., _, -, ending in .html.
  • Inline your styles, scripts and data. Libraries and fonts may load only from cdn.jsdelivr.net, unpkg.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, esm.sh, fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. The page can't make network requests; use inline SVG or data: URLs for images.
  • Don't size anything to the viewport height (100vh); Orca fits the frame to your content.
  • Optional: Orca's theme colors are available as CSS variables (--background, --foreground, --muted-foreground, --border, --primary, --chart-1 to --chart-5).

Showing it

After the file exists, put this on its own line in your reply, outside any code block:

::orca-visual{file="latency-by-region-7c1e.html" title="Latency by region"}

file is the bare file name, never a path; title is optional. At most 8 per reply.
