clawstash: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/orca/SKILL.md

orca is a skill for Claude Code from fo0/clawstash. It costs 118 tokens per session (3,379 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An orchestration mode that sends each piece of work to a role-specific helper agent, with up to five running at once by default.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split larger coding tasks into parallel assignments, set the number of helpers, or check whether orchestration is on.
Why use it?
It removes the need to coordinate separate helper agents manually and makes delegated work follow shared rules for roles, file access, and checking results.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is fo0/clawstash's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on clawstash itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything clawstash configures →

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 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 26d 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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orca — Orchestrator Mode

When to Use

  • /orca (reports state and width) · /orca on|off|status · /orca 10 — the user asks what the mode is set to, or changes it
  • /orca <objective> · /orca <N> <objective> — an objective to carry through a delegated run, optionally at a stated width
  • "orca mode", "orchestrator mode", "orca an/aus", "ab jetzt delegieren", "delegate more"
  • Session start, when SCRATCHPAD.md still carries an Orca line from an earlier session or from before a compaction

Not this skill: choosing a subagent_type for one assignment while already orchestrating. That is the subagent_type table in agent_docs/review_process.md → Subagent Delegation; the roles and their seats are in CLAUDE.md → Subagents.

Scope Boundaries

Owns: how work is divided across subagents and at what width — the delegation contract itself. Does not own: when the work runs (scheduler), the stop condition checked between turns (Claude Code's built-in /goal), the review contract it delegates against (agent_docs/review_process.md).

Invocation

The text after the skill name is the argument. It arrives substituted at the bottom of this section; parse it in this order — the first match wins:

Argument Reading Effect
(empty) status Report state and width, change nothing
exactly status status Report state and width, change nothing
exactly on / off mode off → plain Claude Code behavior for the rest of this session · on → back to orchestrating at the last width set
exactly an integer N width Set the parallel width for this session, change nothing else
integer N + more text width + objective Set the width, then run the rest as an objective run (below)
anything else objective An objective run at the current width

A control word counts only as the whole argument. /orca off is the mode command; /orca off-by-one in the paginator is an objective, because "off" is not the entire string. Same for on and status. An objective that genuinely starts with a bare control word gets rephrased, not guessed at.

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.

orca is a skill published in the GitHub repository fo0/clawstash (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 3,379 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
