Orkas is a desktop application for commanding a team of AI agents through one chat, with a commander model assigning work to specialist agents in parallel or in sequence. People use it to coordinate research, writing, presentations, and software tasks while keeping files on their computer. The catalogue includes skills for extending the agents available to Orkas.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00002 | $0.02554 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00001 | $0.01022 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00511 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00255 |
Grade A, and why
gate-control 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 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.
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 — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
gate-control
This is the single canonical policy for VideoStudio gate decisions, post-gate edits, and recovery across COMPOSE, AUTO, GENERATE, and EDIT. Line Skills describe artifacts and production operations but never create a competing authorization policy.
Decision kernel — apply this before the detailed rules
Resolve every turn from the latest durable facts:
- Identify the current candidate and pending user decision. A pending decision is status, not permission to ask again.
- Classify the dependency. Only a genuine user decision about a creative or delivery choice, or a new billable attempt, is a user dependency. Missing files, stale locators, parameter-shape errors, interrupted operations, equivalent metadata changes, and QA failures with passes remaining are system work and do not justify stopping. An exhausted visual-QA cycle is a creative fork: show its evidence/options and wait.
- Choose one result-aware execution horizon. Execute only operations whose preconditions are true. If one result decides the branch, stop the horizon at that operation, inspect it, and select the next operation in the same turn.
- Use exact interfaces. In
calls, keep the exact native operation token or named Skill/file operation. Do not add avideo_studio.prefix, invent generic recovery/status, or replace an operation with prose. Include mandatory bindings such as AUTO child'scomposition.approve_plan,plan_path, andsegment_id. - End in exactly one place: another immediately executable operation, one of the five stopping decisions with its current artifact, completed delivery, or an external uncertainty boundary with the current artifact and concrete options. Showing an artifact is not an ending except at those five stops.
Direction-to-plan handoff
Keep the first two stops mechanically distinct:
- Direction stop: use video-router's direction confirmation as the content contract; the decision authorizes planning from the chosen concept.
- COMPOSE plan stop after direction choice: call
speech.capabilities, write the canonicalproject/composition/composition-manifest.jsonfrom the chosen concept, then run the freecomposition.check_narration_fit; only after those concrete results present the one制作方案确认/Production plan confirmation.
What ships with it
5 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.
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.

gate-control is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orkas-AI/Orkas (2,152 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 2,554 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
