What it does

Ork Glyph is an agent skill from yonatangross/orchestkit. Render an answer inline as compact ASCII or box-drawing art with semantic status icons. Use for status, inventories, budgets, comparisons, rankings, pipelines, or requests to show something visually. Do not use for definitions, conceptual explanations, one-sentence answers, or requests for a saved page or file.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: The Complete AI Development Toolkit for Claude Code. 106 skills, 36 agents, 171 hooks. Install ork for stable (v9.x), or ork-alpha for the v10 line, which ships daily. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests to show something visually
  • Conceptual explanations
  • One-sentence answers
  • Requests for a saved page

Example prompts

  • “/ork-glyph”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e4ff8d9. 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

Ork Glyph loads about 860 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~860

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.

Ork Glyph

Render immediately from the user's topic. With no topic, use the current conversation. Choose the form yourself without setup questions, task creation, or subagents. The inline rendering itself needs no external tools.

Encode information in structure. State the verdict in one prose line, then draw one render in a monospace code block. Follow it with two or three short observations when the diagram reveals something worth explaining.

Ranking, scores, countsTable and bars

Rendering contract

  • One render per reply, at most about 50 lines. In a terminal, keep each line within 76 display cells. In chat, web transcripts, and other non-TTY surfaces, use at most 72 cells and one narrow table or a vertical list, never side-by-side boards. Default to the non-TTY layout when the surface is uncertain.
  • Use one box style per render: ┌─┐│└─┘ normally, ╭─╮│╰─╯ for soft status cards, or +-| for ASCII-only surfaces. Keep nesting to three levels. Use arrows →, ↓, or -> and meters ▓▓▓░░ with the numeric value beside them.
  • Pair every status icon with a word: ✅ done, ❌ failed, ⚠️ warning, 🔄 in progress, ⏸ waiting, 💡 idea, 🚨 hard block, 🎯 goal, 🔥 top priority, 📜 doc, 🤖 agent, ⚡ hook, ℹ️ caveat. Risk uses 🟢 low, 🟡 medium, 🔴 high; ranking uses 🥇 1st, 🥈 2nd, 🥉 3rd.
  • For domain rows, use at most one leading icon: 🐳 docker, 🌐 browser, 📦 package, 🐍 python, 🧠 model, 📱 device, 💾 volume, 🗑️ trash, 🗂️ files, 📥 downloads, 🔑 secret, 🧪 test, 🖥️ host, ☁️ cloud, 📧 mail, 💬 chat. Keep icons out of prose sentences and avoid emoji chains.
  • Align labels and numbers by display width, accounting for wide characters. Avoid full-width decorative rules, em or en dashes, and Mermaid in this inline mode.
  • Use only supplied or verified data. Print ? for unknown values. Show units, denominators, and arithmetic for totals; call out overlaps or estimates.
  • An inventory proceeds from subject and headline meter to labeled sections, then rows containing label, bar, value, and action when relevant. Finish with section totals, the overall arithmetic, and caveats. Omit unsupported fields.

Example with supplied counts:

text
Checks        3 / 4 passed
┌──────────┬─────────────┐
│ Unit     │ ✅ done     │
│ Security │ ✅ done     │
│ Build    │ ✅ done     │
│ Browser  │ ⏸ waiting  │
└──────────┴─────────────┘

Keep output inline unless the user requested a file. If the full data exceeds the budget, render a labeled summary and state what was omitted. For an explicit file or page request, use the host's available artifact workflow and link the resulting artifact; do not assume another plugin's commands exist.
