Gives Claude Code persistent knowledge of production patterns, so you stop re-explaining your stack and preferences each session. Agents follow your patterns, and hooks block risky actions such as committing straight to main.

Pick the host you actually use. Claude Code is the full plugin (skills + agents + hooks). Cursor gets the same ork plugin minus Claude hook scripts. skills.sh is skills only — start with the 12 below, not the whole catalog.
Measured 2026-09-08 on pi 0.85, Codex CLI and cursor-agent. Details, commands and the lane model: OrchestKit on pi, Codex and Cursor. Antigravity measured 2026-09-18 on agy 1.2.6; full evidence in docs/audits/agy-host-support-2026-09-18.md.

/plugin marketplace add yonatangross/orchestkit
/plugin install ork
Then /ork:setup. The wizard scans the repo, recommends skills, and writes MCP config.
CLI equivalent: claude plugin marketplace add yonatangross/orchestkit && claude plugin install ork@orchestkit.
Channels: ork is the stable channel, pinned to the latest release. ork-alpha is the same plugin tracking main, in the same marketplace (claude plugin install ork-alpha@orchestkit); use it only if you want changes before they are released.
Settings → Plugins / marketplaces → add yonatangross/orchestkit → enable ork → open a new chat. Same plugin Claude Code installs, not a five-skill fork. See Install → Cursor.
Starter 12 from measured installs plus the ork skills we retain (full why table under Install):

Full catalog: npx skills add yonatangross/orchestkit (hundreds of SKILL.md files; do not treat that as unique users). Live install totals stay on the skills.sh badge above.
Every Claude Code session starts from zero. You explain your stack, patterns, preferences—again and again.
OrchestKit gives Claude persistent knowledge of production patterns that work automatically:
| Without | With OrchestKit |
|---|---|
| "Use FastAPI with async SQLAlchemy 2.0..." | "Create an API endpoint" → Done right |
| "Remember cursor pagination, not offset..." | Agents know your patterns |
| "Don't commit to main branch..." | Hooks block bad commits |
| "Run tests before committing..." | /ork:commit runs tests for you |
One unified plugin, everything included.
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| 115 Skills | RAG patterns, FastAPI, React 19, testing, security, database design, ML integration — loaded on-demand, zero overhead |
| 36 Agents | Specialized personas (backend-architect, frontend-dev, security-auditor) — route tasks to the right expert |
| 163 Hooks | Pre-commit checks, git protection, quality gates, browser safety — ship with confidence |
All available in a single /plugin install ork. Skills load on-demand. Hooks work automatically.

| Server | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Context7 | Up-to-date library docs | Prerequisite (22 of 36 agents grant its tools) |
| Memory | Knowledge graph persistence | Recommended |
| Sequential Thinking | Structured reasoning for subagents | Recommended |
| Tavily | Web search and extraction | Optional |
Set "alwaysLoad": true on the first three in your .mcp.json. It skips the per-skill tool probe and shaves ~150ms off cold starts.
Context7 is a prerequisite, and ork does not ship it. 22 agents grant
mcp__context7__* in their frontmatter, but .mcp.json is user-owned and project-scoped,
so the grant refers to a server you add. Skip it and those agents answer from training
data with no error raised. The recommended entry is the hosted HTTP server, which costs
no local process:
"context7": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp"
}
Free tier: 1,000 requests, public repos, no account. Context7 Pro ($10 per seat per
month) raises that to 5,000 per seat and parses private repos; add
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CONTEXT7_API_KEY}" } and export the ctx7sk-
key. Add the header only once the variable is exported: with it unset the unexpanded
literal is sent as the token and every query fails, and it does not fall back to the
anonymous free tier, so the keyless entry above is strictly better than a header with no
key behind it. The legacy stdio transport (npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp@4.0.2) is the fallback
when the hosted endpoint is unreachable, but it spawns one child process per Claude Code
session, so the fan-out scales with how many sessions you keep open.
Skills install as files on your disk, but don't hand-edit the installed copy — it gets overwritten on update and silently diverges from the canonical playbook. The supported ways to extend (user-level skills, project skills, upstream PRs, or disabling a bundled skill) are in docs/extending-skills.md.
OrchestKit is a quality-gate plugin, so its hooks are the product rather than an add-on. This section states plainly what they see, where it goes, and how to turn each piece off.
Scope: broad and intentional. OrchestKit registers 163 hooks across 32
lifecycle events, including SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse,
PostToolUse, and Stop. They are not gated to a particular framework or
project type, because the gates they enforce (secret-write blocking, protected-file
guards, git safety, file-size limits, agent status protocol) apply to any codebase.
If you only want gates on some projects, enable the plugin per-project rather than
globally.
Where data goes: a local file on your own disk.
| What | Destination | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lifecycle events (session end, PR merged, goal converged, chain phase) | ~/.local/state/orchestkit/events.jsonl | Written unconditionally, rotated at 10 MB. ORK_EVENTS_LOG redirects the path (used by the test suite) |
| Hook metrics: event name, tool name, payload size, duration | same local file | Size-capped metrics only |
| Hook telemetry log: event, tool name, session id, branch, timestamp, and tool inputs and outputs | telemetry/events.jsonl in the plugin data folder (or .claude/telemetry/ in the project) | Secrets redacted, every string cut to 500 characters. Rotated at 10 MB at session end; rotated files deleted after 7 days |
| Prompt text | Not recorded in either log | Hooks read it to make an allow/deny decision, then discard it |
| Remote sync | Off | No endpoint is compiled in; see below |
There is deliberately no global kill switch for the local write, because the
gates depend on that state (the git-safety and chain-staleness hooks read their
own prior events). To stop it entirely, disable the plugin. Individual noisy hooks
have their own opt-outs: ORK_DISABLE_DEBT_TRACKER, ORK_DISABLE_WORKTREE_VERIFIER,
ORK_DISABLE_COORDINATION_METRICS, ORK_NO_NOTIFY, ORK_NO_STALE_SWEEP, and
ORCHESTKIT_SKIP_SLOW_HOOKS among others.
Network access from the hooks themselves is opt-in and unset by default. The
only remote host compiled into the shipped hook bundles is api.typesafe.ai,
Stars on GitHub
A development methodology for coding agents that makes the agent brainstorm before building, follow plans, run parallel work and finish branches in a disciplined way. You get fewer skipped steps and more consistent results from your coding assistant.
@obraHelps you take a change from a rough idea or bug report through to a tested, reviewed result, with each step handled by a focused skill. Its skills cover pinning down domain terms, designing module interfaces, diagnosing hard bugs, and reviewing changes against your repo's coding standards.
@mattpocockGives your coding agent a planning, testing and review routine to follow on every task. It plans before building, checks changes with tests, has a fresh reviewer look for regressions, and saves repeated wins as reusable skills.
@affaan-mDeveloper tools for working on the React codebase itself. Provides skills for extracting error messages, managing and debugging feature flags across release channels, running Flow type checks, and fixing lint and formatting issues before committing.
@facebookInstall it with the command on its page. It includes ork-assess, ork-brainstorm, ork-explore. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Free and open source.
