orca-cli
The orca-cli skill provides an interface to manage Orca-specific worktrees, terminals, repositories, automations, and an embedded browser. It acts as the primary control mechanism for Orca-managed state, allowing agents to create worktrees, execute terminal commands, and interact with web content within the Orca environment.
Is orca-cli safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of orca-cli's source files found 80 shell commands, 1 external URL, file reads and writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands and interacts with the file system via worktree management. It also performs network requests through the embedded browser.

Quality score: 5/10. The documentation is comprehensive, providing clear command examples and operational rules for different components of the Orca CLI.
What does the skill file contain?
# Orca CLI Use `orca` when Orca's running editor/runtime is the source of truth. On Linux, use `orca-ide` wherever this file says `orca`. **Dev builds (`pnpm dev`):** after `pnpm build:cli`, the dev CLI is exposed as `orca-dev` (the global shim points at this checkout's wrapper + out/cli). Inside a dev Orca's terminals use `orca-dev emulator ...` (or `./config/scripts/orca-dev.mjs emulator ...` for worktree-local invocation that does not depend on the /usr/local/bin symlink). Plain `orca` targets any installed production Orca. The app's own agent preambles use `orca-dev` automatically in dev...
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Orca if it is not running?
Run 'orca open --json' followed by 'orca status --json' to verify the state.
What is the difference between 'worktree create' and 'terminal create'?
'worktree create' initializes a new checkout, while 'terminal create' adds a terminal to an existing worktree.
How should I handle browser interactions?
Use a snapshot-interact-re-snapshot loop. Always re-snapshot after navigation or page changes.
