How to use

  2. Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
  3. Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

Computer Use

This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Orca executable used for this session.

Resolve the CLI for this session

Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:

  • If the ORCA_CLI_COMMAND environment 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, use orca-dev.
  • Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use orca-ide. Never run bare

orca there — 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.

Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands

ORCA skills get computer-use

Prefer --json. Use the selected executable's --help for commands or flags the guide does not cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with ORCA open --json and retry. If it fails with runtime_access_denied, your sandbox blocked the connection: re-run it with escalated permissions, and do not run ORCA open or restart Orca. If skills get is unknown, explain that updating Orca restores the guide; use --help for read-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.

orchestration

Coordinate supervised Orca workers: threaded messages, blocking ask/reply, task dispatch, workerdone/escalation waits, task DAGs, decision gates, coordinator loops, and decomposing work across agents. Use orca-cli for full ownership handoffs — "hand off", "handoff", "handover", "give this to another agent", "another worktree" — unless asked to supervise, monitor, or coordinate a DAG, and for terminal control, lightweight terminal prompts, shell commands, Orca worktree management, and reading or

orca-cli

Operate Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, artifacts, skill sharing, worktree comments, and Orca's embedded browser through the orca CLI. Use when the user says "$orca-cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", "Orca browser", "orca artifacts", or "share skills". Prefer it over raw git worktree, ad hoc PTYs, or Computer Use when Orca state

orca-emulator-android

Android device and emulator control from inside Orca over adb, with the live device view in Orca's emulator pane. Use when driving an adb-connected emulator or phone on Windows, Linux, or macOS: booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons, rotation, app install and launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat. For an iOS simulator use the iOS emulator skill; build the APK with Gradle first.

orca-per-workspace-env

Set up, review, debug, or validate an Orca per-workspace environment recipe: the on-demand, disposable runtime (cloud sandbox, VM, SSH host, or local container) Orca creates fresh for each workspace. Use to stand up a new recipe end to end, fix an environmentRecipes entry in orca.yaml, scaffold provider lifecycle scripts, or resolve an orca vm recipe doctor failure. Use orca-cli for ordinary worktree and workspace creation with no recipe involved.
