The full, version-matched Orca\norchestration reference is served by the `orca` binary itself — kept out of this file on\npurpose so it can never drift from the binary that will actually run your commands.\n\nUse Orca orchestration to run work in separate Orca worker agents and get their results\nback: when the user asks for Orca workers or supervision (monitor, task DAGs, ask/reply,\ndecision gates), or when the work needs something your own subagents cannot give, such as a\ndifferent agent or its own Orca workspace. \"Have Codex (or Claude) review this and report\nback\" means an Orca worker of that agent, even when you have your own model subagents. Use\nit as well when you are a dispatched worker sending `ask` questions or `worker_done`. Otherwise prefer your own subagents,\nincluding for long or parallel work. Use the orca-cli skill instead to hand work off with\nnothing expected back (\"hand off\", \"handoff\", \"handover\", \"give this to another agent\",\n\"another worktree\"), and for ordinary terminal control, shell commands, worktree management,\nand the built-in browser. Coordination requires real Orca runtime state; never substitute a\nnon-Orca subagent tool when the user asked for Orca orchestration.\n\n## Resolve the CLI for this session\n\nChoose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:\n\n- If the `ORCA_CLI_COMMAND` environment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this\n for managed WSL sessions.\n- Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes `ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT`, use `orca-dev`.\n- Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use `orca-ide`. Never run bare\n `orca` there — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the\n GNOME Orca screen reader (`/usr/bin/orca`) and starts speech on the user's machine.\n- Otherwise, use `orca`.\n\nBelow, `ORCA` is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before\nrunning anything; do not create a shell variable or run `ORCA` literally. This works the\nsame way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.\n\nIf the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through\nto another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.\n\n## Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands\n\n```text\nORCA skills get orchestration\n```\n\nThat prints the compact, version-matched guide for the exact binary that will handle your\nnext commands. It covers the normal local coordinator loop and dispatched-worker\nobligations. For a conditional action gate such as remote placement, uncertain release\nrecovery, or expanded DAG work, load only the reference that gate names with\n`ORCA skills get orchestration --reference references/.md`\n(`--references` lists the names). If that binary rejects `--reference`, run\n`ORCA skills get orchestration --full` and read the named bundled reference before acting.\n\nPrefer `--json`. Use the selected executable's `--help` for commands or flags the guide does\nnot cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with `ORCA open --json`\nand retry. If it fails with `runtime_access_denied`, your sandbox blocked the connection:\nre-run it with escalated permissions, and do not run `ORCA open` or restart Orca. If\n`skills get` is unknown, explain that updating Orca restores the guide; use `--help` for\nread-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.\n","releasedDigests":["0cb898d37560ab7ac4cb477a2d7e8ba3e593d45affd6d7e9f99151879aaeb1a5","0cfb6a082625edc0d474bae430eb22c28bbe484e54fbfebedb4ff89d96e36305","1150a30d854ad1d6c4f107af4c115bac6afd00122e4b011ee5e8f9c49a9d9bab","19ffdc1fe0d2c97dae845e8d636edb16781453ce2ec26f65a323c492ef90da18","1cbb78d008e0a833150096dab7882fdae5b7e72b5b073d4cbcef9642fb421ab0","24c5392fe1734c3dcf63d1a05ab4ac75eaa70e4d880f590a4a33ec83e4a2cc6a","277dd8372f4b3b1773f8debe6e02eae575f01d568de328ae06d78ba71fc045cb","2c1ac3a94ef4ee085147ee48d813bdcce532f5f6c7040d7836ea7b3d2a882628","332b046294c2356d962cacb9b9f7bcd68919570c1cb69b90c100f0c08be94d99","36bc32f022447418b566db35f9ffcff75113eb023e37d06fd1bd609c5dd173ef","3899a8a6da1d7a962e1029d002f7187058543e47a230b6459756a41bc08af4a7","4bb49dd8fb3062af4424f912909d52914f377e6dd3fcd12ed5296e7781bdabe4","58b954fe6ad604c926ed7ba4810f8ad04046be5030346b54eb3a210a6859125f","6053ed840323522c3bac235007b2241df897857a6974dfd784f7e539b2b98a10","68761e4b247b7a5bc22087eb4d801287e120b9a3746054b50c96d9f5e7e0bcca","6c38221cc0c280320264dbcba35af1371b3bf525d430a9d6b7a21c33bcda2223","9248461f4224081452ef8aed56748a456b99b79fb3f78a525857f8d12e44f7f1","937237cbb3449ff88f67efbcec0b6c6d64a23dbfb1b28c88260e4d0094f50954","9550fb923937729fbaa7d6edec8a22f5a88da556fa7834c6a78ba3c65e8cda67","9ca228137b9a442b98c761aa07adecc2265708132ab175ad7e22b163fdc0bd7f","a7e3350f037698ebbce36b2818d8383ec6e96c2a4825537caab39a83b4fb4b7f","abb639ec034ab3f50fddf3dc02c4a041876c34278f529ec2c044c0cda7b74059","b50c8ce4ea7317fad2ff9a0d8d56e16f4420d6ce6d6b1ea2534d60555a479c5f","b73c7c665aa233a782ba81982ebc954e220fdf1c1c6ca2b6bf38133c1cd76fc9","cd1b364bf35781bad06bf75ab1766afa8d6cec69cb2060529691d89871a2098a","ce9a81cb2e6bbb8487107d2e088bf9fd6e0ba71ebc6bcc1929f827fde65fec6b","d37fa68601e6b383146976baf4ac28b1ecc8acef808394e9cede434a08be82ce","d6490454f5a2814e98bb3848f05574beb81b7c5111295efd8c1d26c8b16bee4a","d9ac622844f5d94c02e01d663833a04bd7db522b59385ac92ec5ab5e7cb017b3","e3b81f4d713f97a65a35ca5db0606939cebfdaade3daf1d709a76df1c869fd8a","e4aa2bde868fdb45f905189361ab09e613ea9d83875ba7e951b6f3addfb58c75","e72ecaf625b4a839189e8f13717b0c5b7a309fc82c9ed0dbfb8e861e31a2124a","ee559224b6047d01db02d9aabdfbcc94475394e6f11f4076ce785c42faee63c6","f3bae76495657f27458969fe2d6510098f39b429580870f5e79fac3493f891ee","f7da0dd40d8681e2b0303fa0fa2f7ee4e36f2eca6495a4af57b92b9857dff732"]} ]
