orca-emulator

orca-emulator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andsnw/orca. It costs 119 tokens per session (856 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of orca-emulator, MIT.

A tool for controlling an iOS emulator, which is a simulated iPhone or iPad running on a computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Tapping and swiping, typing, pressing hardware buttons, injecting camera input, changing permissions, and reading the mobile app's accessibility information.
Why use it?
It provides a way to test mobile apps through the same taps, gestures, permissions, and other actions a user would make.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

orca-emulator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orca Emulator

This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca emulator 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 you drive a mobile (iOS) emulator / simulator stream from inside the Orca app: taps, gestures, typing, hardware buttons, camera injection, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and more — all while the live view stays in Orca's emulator pane. Prefer this over raw serve-sim or direct simctl when running agents inside Orca, which handles device scoping, helper lifecycle, and worktree context for you. It complements the orca-cli skill for terminals, worktrees, and the built-in browser.

Resolve the CLI for this session

Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:

  • If the ORCA_CLI_COMMAND environment 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, 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. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
