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 | $0.00249 | $0.00998 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00125 | $0.00499 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00050 | $0.00200 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00100 |
Grade A, and why
orca-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Orca CLI
This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca CLI
reference is served by the orca binary itself — kept out of this file on purpose so it
can never drift from the binary that will actually run your commands.
Engage Orca whenever its running editor/runtime is the source of truth: Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, worktree comments, and the browser embedded inside the Orca app. Triggers include "$orca-cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "full handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", and "control the browser inside Orca". Use plain shell tools when Orca state does not matter.
Resolve the CLI for this session
Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:
- If the
ORCA_CLI_COMMANDenvironment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions. - Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes
ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, useorca-dev. - Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use
orca-ide. Never run bareorcathere — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine. - Otherwise, use
orca.
Below, ORCA is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before
running anything; do not create a shell variable or run ORCA literally. This works the
same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.
If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.

That prints the complete, version-matched guide for the exact binary that will handle your next commands — worktrees, handoffs, terminals, automations, and the built-in browser. Read it first, then run the specific command you need.
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.

orca-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository stablyai/orca (59,228 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 249 tokens to every session and 998 once invoked, about $0.0012 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.
