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.

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 | $0.00060 | $0.01307 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00654 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00261 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
orra-init 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 9d 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
orra-init
Scaffold orra in the current repo: run setup, install the stock directive set, and wire up memento integration via vault-bridge when memento is live.
This skill is shipped by memento-vault as an experimental integration, gated behind ./install.sh --experimental. It brings two systems together without either becoming a hard dependency of the other: orra continues to work without memento, memento continues to work without orra, and the vault-bridge directive is the only coupling surface.
When to use
- User invokes
/orra-init - User says "init orra", "set up orra in this repo", "bootstrap orra", or similar
- User has cloned a new repo and wants orra ready to orchestrate
Preflight
Orra requires a git repo. Run git rev-parse --git-dir from the current working directory. If it fails, tell the user orra needs a git repo (offer git init if they want one) and stop. Do not call orra_setup outside a repo.
Steps
-
Load deferred tools if needed. If
orra_setup,orra_directive, andmemento_statusare not already loaded, load them in one batch:ToolSearch("select:mcp__orra__orra_setup,mcp__orra__orra_directive,mcp__memento-vault__memento_status") -
Run
orra_setup. Creates.orra/config.json, installs the orchestrator persona to.claude/agents/orchestrator.md, adds.orra/to.gitignore, scaffolds.orra/memory/. Idempotent; safe on repos that already have.orra/. -
Install all stock directives. Call
orra_directive({action: "install-all"}). Existing customized directives are preserved (the tool skips them explicitly). -
Check memento availability. Call
memento_status. A healthy response (returnsvault_exists: trueor a positivenote_count) means memento is live. Error or unhealthy response means memento is not set up; skip vault-bridge silently, that's a supported configuration. -
Install vault-bridge (if memento is live).
- If
.orra/directives/vault-bridge.mdalready exists: leave it alone and note that the user has a local copy (possibly customized). - If it does not exist: copy the template.
cp ~/.claude/skills/orra-init/templates/vault-bridge.md .orra/directives/vault-bridge.md

What ships with it
1 file 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.

orra-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandsower/memento-vault (12 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,307 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
