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.
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 | $0.00119 | $0.00856 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00060 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
orca-emulator 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 6d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Orca Emulator
This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca emulator
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 you drive a mobile (iOS) emulator / simulator stream from inside the
Orca app: taps, gestures, typing, hardware buttons, camera injection, runtime permissions,
the accessibility tree, and more — all while the live view stays in Orca's emulator pane.
Prefer this over raw serve-sim or direct simctl when running agents inside Orca, which
handles device scoping, helper lifecycle, and worktree context for you. It complements the
orca-cli skill for terminals, worktrees, and the built-in browser.
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.

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-emulator is a skill published in the GitHub repository stablyai/orca (62,246 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 856 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
