orca-cli
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", "public artifact link", "share skills", or "control the browser inside Orca". Prefer this over raw `git worktree`, ad hoc PTYs, Playwright, or Computer Use when the task touches Orca-managed state. Use Computer Use for external browser windows, webviews, or desktop UI only when the task requires OS/window-level control such as focus, menus, dialogs, coordinates, or screenshots. Use `orca-cli` for Orca's embedded pages and a page-automation tool such as Playwright or CDP for external pages.

Orca CLI This file is a discovery stub, not the 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 will actually run your commands. Engage Orca whenever its running editor/runtime is the source of truth: Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, worktree comments, and the browser embedded inside the Orca app. Triggers include "$orca-cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "full handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", and "control the browser inside Orca". Use plain shell tools when Orca state does not matter. 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.
