Skills
8/computer-useUse Orca's computer-use CLI to inspect and operate local desktop app windows through accessibility trees, screenshots, and safe UI actions. Use for desktop app interaction: list apps/windows, get app state, read visible UI, click controls, type, press keys, scroll, drag, set/linear-ticketsUse Orca's Linear CLI through `orca linear ...` commands to read linked ticket context with `orca linear issue --current --full --json`, post completion updates, move work forward through Linear workflow states, attach PR/MR links with `orca linear attach --current --url/orca-cliUse the public `orca` CLI to operate Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, artifacts, worktree comments, and the browser embedded inside the Orca app. Use when the user says "$orca-cli", "use orca cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree",/orca-emulator-androidControl an Android emulator / device from inside Orca using the `orca` CLI. Use for listing/booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons (incl. Back and Recents), rotation, app install/launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat — driving a real/orca-emulatorControl a mobile (iOS) emulator / simulator stream from inside Orca using the `orca` CLI. Use for taps, gestures, typing, hardware buttons, camera injection, permissions, accessibility tree, and more — all while seeing the live view in Orca's emulator pane. Prefer this over raw/orca-linearUse Orca's Linear CLI through `orca linear ...` commands to read linked ticket context with `orca linear issue --current --full --json`, post completion updates, move work forward through Linear workflow states, attach PR/MR links with `orca linear attach --current --url

/orca-per-workspace-envSet up, review, debug, or validate Orca per-workspace environment recipes — on-demand, disposable runtimes (cloud sandboxes, VMs, or local) created fresh for each workspace. Covers first-time setup (provider prerequisites, the reusable base snapshot, the coding-agent auth/orchestrationUse Orca orchestration for structured multi-agent coordination: threaded messages, blocking ask/reply flows, task dispatch, worker_done/escalation waits, task DAGs, decision gates, coordinator loops, or decomposing work across agents.

1Features
Mobile Companion
Monitor and steer your agents from your phone — get notified when an agent finishes and send follow-ups from anywhere.
iOS App Store · TestFlight · Android APK 0.0.37 · Docs →
Parallel Worktrees
Fan one prompt across five agents, each in its own isolated git worktree — compare the results and merge the winner.
Terminal Splits
Ghostty-class terminals with WebGL rendering, infinite splits, and scrollback that survives restarts.
Design Mode
Click any UI element in a real Chromium window to send its HTML, CSS, and a cropped screenshot straight into your agent's prompt.
GitHub & Linear, Native
Browse PRs, issues, and project boards in-app — open a worktree from any task and review without a context switch.
SSH Worktrees
Run agents on a beefy remote box with full file editing, git, and terminals — auto-reconnect and port forwarding included.
Annotate AI Diffs
Drop comments on any diff line and ship them back to the agent — review, edit, and commit without leaving Orca.
Drag Files to Agents
VS Code's editor with autosave everywhere — drag files or images straight into an agent prompt.
Orca CLI
Agents drive Orca too — script every workflow with orca worktree create, snapshot, click, and fill.
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
Supported Agents
Works with any CLI agent — if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Orca.

FAQ
orca is a Claude Code plugin with 8 hand-picked skills for development work, indexed on Flowy. Install it with the command on its page. It includes computer-use, linear-tickets, orca-cli. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Request auto-invocation to have Flowy route them as you prompt. Free and open source.
- What is orca?
- Orca is the ADE for working with a fleet of parallel agents. Run any coding agent with your own subscription. Available on desktop, mobile and VPS.
- How do I install orca?
- Run these in Claude Code: npx -y skills add stablyai/orca --agent claude-code. Then prompt normally.
- Does orca auto-invoke its skills?
- Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin. Request auto-invocation on its page and Flowy will route its skills for you as you prompt.
- Is orca free?
- Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.
