About this skill
“Operate Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, artifacts, skill sharing, worktree comments, and Orca's embedded browser through the `orca` CLI. Use when the user says "$orca-cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", "Orca browser", "orca artifacts", or "share skills". Prefer it over raw git worktree, ad hoc PTYs, or Computer Use when Orca state is involved. Use Computer Use only when a visible window needs GUI control that a CLI, filesystem, or API cannot do.”
Orca CLI is a skill in stablyai/orca (87k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 593 tokens, and copies of it appear in 2 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 55c86ce. 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 593 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 157 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 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.

Orca CLI
This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Orca executable used for this session.
Resolve the CLI for this session
Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:
- If the
ORCA_CLI_COMMANDenvironment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions. - Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes
ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, useorca-dev. - Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use
orca-ide. Never run bareorcathere — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine. - Otherwise, use
orca.
Below, ORCA is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before
running anything; do not create a shell variable or run ORCA literally. This works the
same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.
If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.
Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands
ORCA skills get orca-cliPrefer --json. Use the selected executable's --help for commands or flags the guide does
not cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with ORCA open --json
and retry. If it fails with runtime_access_denied, your sandbox blocked the connection:
re-run it with escalated permissions, and do not run ORCA open or restart Orca. If
skills get is unknown, explain that updating Orca restores the guide; use --help for
read-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.

Questions about Orca CLI
How do I install Orca CLI in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add stablyai/orca --skill orca-cli -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/orca-cli in stablyai/orca) into .claude/skills/orca-cli in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Orca CLI in Codex?
Run `npx skills add stablyai/orca --skill orca-cli -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/orca-cli in stablyai/orca) into .agents/skills/orca-cli in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Orca CLI in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add stablyai/orca --skill orca-cli -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/orca-cli, .gemini/skills/orca-cli, .github/skills/orca-cli and .opencode/skills/orca-cli in your project.
What does Orca CLI need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Orca CLI is instructions for the agent only.
Does Orca CLI access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Orca CLI safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Orca CLI use?
Orca CLI is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Orca CLI use?
About 593 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Orca CLI?
