orc-generate

orc-generate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from qGolem/orc. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow that turns a project description and codebase findings into a phased roadmap. Each phase is made of small tasks that can be checked independently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a plan from project notes, current-state findings, and optional research summaries. It is part of the orc planning workflow.
Why use it?
It helps break a large project into an ordered sequence based on dependencies, core work, and later improvements. It also asks for feedback before the proposed phases are used.

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.

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

orc-generate 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 4d 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.

Orc Generate

Thin orchestrator for plan generation. Owns the workflow loop — delegates ALL planning methodology to thick agents (orc-planner, orc-plan-checker).

Input

  • $ARGUMENTS — Plan slug

Templates

Execution

Step 0: Initialize Todos

Step 1: Load Context

Read:

  • .claude/plans/$ARGUMENTS/PROJECT.md — vision
  • .claude/plans/$ARGUMENTS/STATE.md — codebase findings
  • .claude/plans/$ARGUMENTS/research/SUMMARY.md — domain research synthesis (if exists)

Step 2: Design Phase Breakdown

Analyze PROJECT.md and STATE.md to design phases:

  • Atomic tasks per phase
  • Each phase independently verifiable
  • Order: dependencies → core → enhancements

Step 3: Validate with User

Present your proposed phase breakdown and ask for feedback:

Based on the vision and codebase analysis, here's my proposed phase breakdown:

**Phase 1: <name>**
- Task 1.1: <brief description>
- Task 1.2: <brief description>

**Phase 2: <name>**
- Task 2.1: <brief description>
- Task 2.2: <brief description>

**Phase 3: <name>** (if needed)
- Task 3.1: <brief description>

...

for each phase:

**Phase N: <name>**
- Task N.1: <brief description>
Please review and let me know:
1. Does this breakdown make sense for your priorities?
2. Should any phases be combined, split, or reordered?
3. Before planning starts, would you like to discuss or research any specific phase?
   Run `/orc-discuss $slug N` or `/orc-phase-research $slug N` standalone, then tell me to proceed.
4. Is anything missing or unnecessary?

What ships with it

2 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.

orc-generate is a skill published in the GitHub repository qGolem/orc (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 2,427 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
