orca-cli
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.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "stablyai/orca:orca-cli" into this agent's normal skills directory: use the OMGSkills MCP get_skill tool, install only the pinned_install commit and path, verify SKILL.md against pinned_install.skill_md_sha, and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/stablyai/orca /tmp/orca && ln -s /tmp/orca/skills/orca-cli ~/.claude/skills/orca-cliFrom README
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 ORCACLICOMMAND environment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions. Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes ORCADEVREPOROOT, use orca-dev. Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use orca-ide. Never run bare orca there — 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.
