orka: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/agent-substrate-deploy/SKILL.md

agent-substrate-deploy is a skill for Codex from orka-agents/orka. It costs 36 tokens per session (620 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment process for running Agent Substrate, an isolated execution environment for agents, with Orka on a dedicated local kind cluster. It also checks direct Substrate and workspace task paths using local test fixtures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, configure, validate, demonstrate, or troubleshoot Orka's Substrate integration, including feature-gated workspace tasks and local Responses-compatible test runs.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable local setup for testing isolated agent execution and workspace dispatch without treating the setup as a production deployment.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is orka-agents/orka's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on orka 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 orka configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash hack/demos/cluster/install-substrate.sh.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to orka-agents/orka. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Copy the file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/orka-agents/orka/main/.agents/skills/agent-substrate-deploy/SKILL.md
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/orka-agents/orka

Made for: Codex.

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

agent-substrate-deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Substrate deployment

Use the unmodified official provider pinned in hack/agent-substrate/upstream.env. Read website/docs/concepts/substrate.md for the native API and lifecycle contract. This workflow is local evaluation, not a production provider installer.

Run the existing installer

Drive hack/demos/cluster/install-substrate.sh in place. It retains the cluster and calls the same scripts/agent-substrate-e2e.sh used by CI. The suite builds the provider from its official pin and runs direct, MCP, and real ACP runtime execution against a local Responses fixture. It needs no model or Git account.

  1. Check Docker, kind, ko, Go 1.27, git, jq, kubectl, openssl, Python, curl, and ripgrep. Install missing local CLI dependencies as needed. Do not restart shared Docker infrastructure or delete another cluster to repair preflight.
  2. Choose a dedicated cluster and run directory. Substrate's gVisor/node setup owns this cluster; it cannot be installed onto a default kindctl cluster.
  3. Run the installer, then use only its scoped kubeconfig for follow-up work.
export PATH="$PWD/bin:$(go env GOPATH)/bin:$PATH"
export KIND_CLUSTER=orka-substrate-eval
export SUBSTRATE_E2E_RUN_DIR="$PWD/bin/substrate-eval"
bash hack/demos/cluster/install-substrate.sh
export KUBECONFIG="$SUBSTRATE_E2E_RUN_DIR/kubeconfig"

An existing cluster requires SUBSTRATE_REUSE_CLUSTER=1 or DEMO_CLUSTER_REUSE=reuse. Reuse installs the selected official version and reruns tests with fixed resource names. Inspect existing objects first; do not replace application data or a completed model login. Choose a fresh cluster when reuse is unsuitable. The installer never automatically recreates one. The source URL and commit must match the pin; arbitrary ref overrides and provider patches are rejected.

Verify

Read references/validate.md. Do not claim live conformance from a doctor or unit test result. Keep operation journals and credentials out of user-facing logs. Native Actors and templates are ate-api resources, not Kubernetes CRDs.

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.

agent-substrate-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository orka-agents/orka (36 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 620 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
