Jinwoo-H 1dabd8724d refactor(skills): single-author the shared discovery-stub blocks
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.

Orca CLI

This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca CLI reference is served by the orca binary itself — kept out of this file on purpose so it can never drift from the binary that will actually run your commands.

Engage Orca whenever its running editor/runtime is the source of truth: Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, worktree comments, and the browser embedded inside the Orca app. Triggers include "$orca-cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "full handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", and "control the browser inside Orca". Use plain shell tools when Orca state does not matter.

ORCA skills get orca-cli

That prints the complete, version-matched guide for the exact binary that will handle your next commands — worktrees, handoffs, terminals, automations, and the built-in browser. Read it first, then run the specific command you need.
