The resolver ladder, the ORCA placeholder rule, the no-guessing paragraph, and the older-binary fallback frame were authored eight times each and had already drifted where they were re-copied. Move them into one fragment, skill-stubs/_shared/cli-resolution.md, and have each per-topic stub mark where they land with `<!-- shared: <id> -->`. The projected skills/<name>/SKILL.md is byte-identical for all eight topics, so no manifest revision moves.

substitution, because the substituted name changes where the lines break. -->
Resolve the CLI for this session
Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:
- If the
ORCA_CLI_COMMANDenvironment 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, useorca-dev. - Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use
orca-ide. Never run bareorcathere — 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.
Don't guess subcommands or flags from memory or from a cached copy of this stub. They
change between Orca releases, and this file deliberately no longer lists them. Confirm the
app is up with ORCA status --json (start it with ORCA open --json if needed), and
prefer --json for agent-driven calls.
If an older Orca does not recognize skills get
Use this fallback only when the selected binary explicitly reports that skills get is an
unknown command. Another failure is not proof of an older binary; report it rather than
guessing or changing executables. For a confirmed pre-guide binary, use only this bounded,
read-only bootstrap to orient. Do not dead-end and do not invent commands:
Then tell the user that updating Orca restores the full, version-matched guide via
ORCA skills get {{topic}}. Beyond these commands, ask the user rather than guessing a
command surface this older binary may not support.
