A routing skill for the Orca command-line tool, which manages coding-agent worktrees, terminals, browser sessions, automations, handoffs, and shared artifacts. It loads the installed Orca version's guide before using its commands.

It is for running or handing off Orca-managed work, resolving worktrees and terminals, using its browser and automations, and sharing artifacts or skills.

It keeps work in the correct repository and agent context and reduces the risk of using commands that do not match the installed tool version.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00033	$0.05759
Opus 5.5	$0.00013	$0.02304
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.01152
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00576

Security

Grade A, and why

cli-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 today.

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.

Orca CLI (cli-orca)

Route and run Orca-managed work: managed worktrees and repository state, paired terminals, the embedded browser, scheduled automations, artifacts, skill sharing, full agent handoffs, and the eight official Orca skills. The installed Orca runtime is versioned, so this skill loads the matching guide from the binary before relying on any flag and keeps only the routing contract, the boundaries and the safety envelope local.

1. WHEN TO USE

Activation Triggers

Use when:

The request names the Orca CLI, or an Orca-managed worktree, repository, folder context or terminal.
Work is handed to another agent or worktree through Orca with a full transfer of ownership.
The request touches Orca automations, worktree comments, artifacts or skill sharing.
Orca's embedded browser is involved: Orca-managed tabs, snapshots, refs, page cookies, or a browser recovery error.
A user asks what an official Orca skill does, whether it is installed, or how it relates to a local workflow.
Orca runtime state blocks the task: the runtime is stopped, a worktree cannot be resolved, or an automation cannot be identified.

Keyword Triggers (multi-word, Orca-qualified):

orca cli, orca worktree, orca terminal, orca browser, orca automation, orca handoff, orca artifacts, orca skills, orca repository, orca embedded browser
managed worktree, paired terminal, child worktree, $orca-cli, full ownership handoff
Official skill names: computer-use, linear-tickets, orca-cli, orca-emulator, orca-emulator-android, orca-linear, orca-per-workspace-env, orchestration when the request places them in Orca.

What ships with it

46 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
