What is orkcore-subsystem?

Reference material for Orkid's subsystem framework, which manages application components that must start and stop in dependency order. It covers lifecycle states, thread restrictions, and parallel startup waves.

Use it when answering questions about Orkid subsystems, startup sequencing, factories, lifecycle states, or initialization tests.

It explains how application startup works and helps avoid incorrect initialization or shutdown ordering.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00053	$0.00995
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00498
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00199
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00100

Security

Grade A, and why

orkcore-subsystem 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 3d 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.

Architecture Overview

Subsystem Lifecycle (FSM-Based)

UNINITIALIZED → INITIALIZING → READY
                     ↓ (error)
                   ERROR
READY → SHUTTING_DOWN → TERMINATED

Each state is an FSM LambdaState — subsystem factories override _onenter callbacks.

Factory Functions

createOpqSubsystem()      — OPQ task queue lifecycle
createCoreSubsystem()     — Core orkid runtime (depends on OPQ)
createCatalogSubsystem()  — Asset catalog (depends on OPQ)
createGpuSubsystem()      — GPU context (depends on CORE)
createAudioSubsystem()    — Audio device (depends on GPU)
createLev2Subsystem()     — Meta-service: signals when GPU+Audio ready

Dependency Graph

OPQ (no deps)
├── CATALOG (depends on OPQ)
└── CORE (depends on OPQ, optionally CATALOG)
    └── GPU (depends on CORE, requires "main" thread)
        └── AUDIO (depends on GPU)
            └── LEV2 (depends on GPU, optionally AUDIO)

Wave-Based Initialization

Build waves via topological sort of dependencies
Each wave: subsystems with all deps satisfied
Within a wave: respect thread affinity
- requires_thread = "main" → serialize on caller thread
- requires_thread = "" → parallel threads
Wait for wave completion before next wave
Circular dependency detection (asserts)

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.

orkcore-subsystem is a skill published in the GitHub repository tweakoz/orkid (35 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 995 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 2026-09-01.
