orca-chat-visuals

orca-chat-visuals is a skill for Claude Code from stablyai/orca. It costs 57 tokens per session (471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for showing charts, diagrams, timelines, comparisons, or interface mockups inside an Orca chat. It creates a self-contained HTML file, a web page in one file, when a visual would explain the answer better than text.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for presenting trends, many values, flows, layouts, architecture, and other explanations as inline visuals.
Why use it?
It makes information that is hard to understand in prose visible in the chat, while avoiding visual files when the required folder or permissions are unavailable.

About the project

Orca is an application for running and coordinating multiple coding agents, giving each agent an isolated Git worktree while tracking their work in one place. Developers use it to run agents such as Codex, ClaudeCode, OpenCode, or Pi in parallel across desktop, mobile, local terminals, or remote servers.

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

orca-chat-visuals 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Inline visuals in an Orca chat

Orca can show an HTML page inside your reply. Use one whenever a visual would make the answer clearer.

Writing the page

  • Save it in the folder named by ORCA_CHAT_SCRATCH_DIR (printenv ORCA_CHAT_SCRATCH_DIR; in PowerShell $env:ORCA_CHAT_SCRATCH_DIR). If it's unset or you can't write there, skip the visual. This folder is temporary: Orca may remove it after 30 days without chat activity or changes. Save files meant to last in the workspace.
  • One complete HTML file per visual, directly in that folder, under 512 KB, with a new file name each time (e.g. latency-by-region-7c1e.html): letters, digits, ., _, -, ending in .html.
  • Inline your styles, scripts and data. Libraries and fonts may load only from cdn.jsdelivr.net, unpkg.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, esm.sh, fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. The page can't make network requests; use inline SVG or data: URLs for images.
  • Don't size anything to the viewport height (100vh); Orca fits the frame to your content.
  • Optional: Orca's theme colors are available as CSS variables (--background, --foreground, --muted-foreground, --border, --primary, --chart-1 to --chart-5).

Showing it

After the file exists, put this on its own line in your reply, outside any code block:

::orca-visual{file="latency-by-region-7c1e.html" title="Latency by region"}

file is the bare file name, never a path; title is optional. At most 8 per reply.

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.
