* skills: rewrite the seven non-orchestration guides to one outcome-first standard
Every guide leads with Result / Done / Safe failure, states conditions instead of case lists, keeps one done bar and one autonomy envelope, and loads references at the point of use via `skills get <topic> --full`. orca-cli drops from 424 to 260 always-loaded lines with three references; orca-per-workspace-env from 794 to 397 with five.
Defects fixed in shipped guides: `emulator camera` (no such command), iOS `permissions` (backend refuses it), Android pane described as in development, `relayGracePeriodSeconds: 0` documented as immediate teardown (it is unbounded), doctor `ok: true` hiding `warn`, an SSH exemplar setting both `jumpHost` and `proxyCommand`, a provisioned-root fetch from `origin`, and the Linear unconfirmed-write rule keyed on four verbs when ten emit it.
The resolver ladder, placeholder rule, and older-binary fallback shared by every installable SKILL.md now come from one skill-stubs/_shared/cli-resolution.md fragment composed by the generator, which also bundles per-guide references into --full. New guards: every ORCA invocation and flag resolves against COMMAND_SPECS, descriptions carry no angle-bracket tokens, reference routing is checked both ways, and an always-loaded size ratchet (300 lines) that guides may leave but never join.
* skills: address review on the SSH recipe and the parity guard
- ssh-host create script: route the bootstrap ssh through the chosen jump host or proxy command, refuse both at once, use StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new instead of a blind ssh-keyscan append, and pass gh_token/project_root/repo_url/repo_ref to the remote bash via printf %q so a quote in a value cannot break out of the command.
- per-workspace-env envelope: the step-10 workspace test the user asked for is no longer forbidden by the same paragraph.
- linear guides: name the full verb, ORCA linear list-issues.
- parity guard: a prefix reference such as ORCA linear --help or ORCA emulator --webcam now has its flags checked against every command under that prefix; only an exact path or an explicit ... was checked before.
* skills: tighten prose in the seven rewritten guides
Shorter outcome spines, one idea per sentence, no restated rationale after a rule. No rule, command, or pinned phrase changes; 47 net lines fewer across the guides and references.
* skills: route orca-cli and per-workspace-env gates through --reference
Both guides told agents to load --full at a gate because the per-reference
selector did not exist when they were written. Now that main serves
`skills get <topic> --reference references/<file>.md`, load only the
named file and keep --full as the fallback for an older CLI, matching the
orchestration kernel.
* skills: drop outcome-spine boilerplate from the CLI-wrapper guides
The Result/Done/Safe-failure preambles and Next Action closers restated
rules the body already carries. Agents stop fine without them, and for
a CLI wrapper the command surface is the guide. Keeps the one substantive
rule computer-use's Done block added (never report unverified as success)
inside Action Rules. orchestration and per-workspace-env keep theirs:
those are multi-step workflows where the done bar is load-bearing.
(cherry picked from commit 44a74baf73)
* skills: trim the guides and stubs to what agents actually need
- Drop the Result/Done/Safe-failure preambles and Next Action closers from
the six CLI-wrapper guides; the one substantive rule (never report an
unverified computer-use action as success) moves into Action Rules.
- Drop the 'guide may be stale, trust --help' lines: the guide is served by
the binary that runs the commands, so it cannot be stale relative to it.
- Drop the status --json / open --json preflight from every guide; the stub
no-guessing paragraph now says to start Orca only when a command reports
it is not running.
- Cut the ORCA placeholder paragraph in each guide to one line that points
back at the stub's resolution.
- Trim the orchestration, orca-cli, and computer-use descriptions to trigger
phrases plus one line of scope.
- Remove the older-binary fallback section from every stub (and its two
shared blocks); a binary without skills get gets one sentence.
- Remove the guide size ratchet test.
* skills: apply independent review cleanup
* skills: clarify guide loading and Linear command discovery
* skills: harden environment recipe examples
* test: complete branch rename journal doubles
* skills: clarify custom Codex launch and refresh model example
* test: deduplicate journal fix now present on main

# Built-in browser commands
|
|
|
|
Use a snapshot-interact-re-snapshot loop:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
ORCA goto --url https://example.com --json
|
|
ORCA snapshot --json
|
|
ORCA click --element @e3 --json
|
|
ORCA snapshot --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Common commands:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
ORCA goto --url <url> --json
|
|
ORCA back --json
|
|
ORCA reload --json
|
|
ORCA snapshot --json
|
|
ORCA screenshot --json
|
|
ORCA full-screenshot --json
|
|
ORCA pdf --json
|
|
ORCA click --element <ref> --json
|
|
ORCA fill --element <ref> --value <text> --json
|
|
ORCA type --input <text> --json
|
|
ORCA select --element <ref> --value <value> --json
|
|
ORCA check --element <ref> --json
|
|
ORCA scroll --direction down --amount 1000 --json
|
|
ORCA hover --element <ref> --json
|
|
ORCA focus --element <ref> --json
|
|
ORCA keypress --key Enter --json
|
|
ORCA upload --element <ref> --files <paths> --json
|
|
ORCA wait --text <text> --json
|
|
ORCA wait --url <substring> --json
|
|
ORCA wait --selector <css> --json
|
|
ORCA wait --load networkidle --json
|
|
ORCA eval --expression <js> --json
|
|
ORCA tab list --json
|
|
ORCA tab create --url <url> --json
|
|
ORCA tab switch --index <n> --json
|
|
ORCA tab close --index <n> --json
|
|
ORCA cookie get --json
|
|
ORCA capture start --json
|
|
ORCA console --limit 50 --json
|
|
ORCA network --limit 50 --json
|
|
ORCA exec --command "help" --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Browser rules:
|
|
|
|
- Re-snapshot after navigation, tab switches, clicks that change the page, and any `browser_stale_ref`.
|
|
- Refs like `@e1` are assigned by `snapshot`, scoped to one tab, and invalidated by navigation or tab switch.
|
|
- Browser commands default to the current worktree and its active tab. Use `--worktree all` only intentionally.
|
|
- For concurrent browser work, run `ORCA tab list --json`, read `tabs[].browserPageId`, and pass `--page <browserPageId>` on later commands.
|
|
- Use typed tab commands (`ORCA tab list/create/close/switch`), not `ORCA exec --command "tab ..."`, so Orca keeps UI state synchronized.
|
|
- Prefer `wait --text`, `--url`, `--selector`, or `--load` after async page changes instead of bare timeouts.
|
|
- Anything not listed above goes through `ORCA exec --command "<agent-browser command>"`.
|
|
- If `fill` or `type` fails on a custom input, try `ORCA focus --element @e1 --json` then `ORCA inserttext --text "text" --json`.
|
|
- A client-hosted page renders in the paired desktop's browser engine, so every command against it needs that desktop online and returns `browser_host_unavailable` while it is closed, asleep, or disconnected. Server-hosted pages run with no desktop attached; prefer them for long or unattended automation.
|
|
|
|
Common recoveries:
|
|
|
|
- `browser_no_tab`: open a tab with `ORCA tab create --url <url> --json`.
|
|
- `browser_stale_ref`: run `ORCA snapshot --json` and retry with fresh refs.
|
|
- `browser_tab_not_found`: run `ORCA tab list --json` before switching or closing.
|
|
- `browser_host_unavailable`: the desktop hosting the page is offline. Bring it back, or recreate the page with server placement if the work must outlive the desktop session.
