orca-per-workspace-env

Featured

Set up, review, debug, or validate an Orca per-workspace environment recipe: the on-demand, disposable runtime (cloud sandbox, VM, SSH host, or local container) Orca creates fresh for each workspace. Use to stand up a new recipe end to end, fix an `environmentRecipes` entry in `orca.yaml`, scaffold provider lifecycle scripts, or resolve an `orca vm recipe doctor` failure. Use `orca-cli` for ordinary worktree and workspace creation with no recipe involved.

# Per-Workspace Environments This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Orca executable used for this session. ## Resolve the CLI for this session Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command: - If the `ORCA_CLI_COMMAND` environment 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`, use `orca-dev`. - Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use `orca-ide`. Never run bare `orca` there — 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. ## Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands ```text ORCA skills get orca-per-workspace-env ``` Prefer `--json`. Use the selected executable's `--help` for commands or flags the guide does not cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with `ORCA open --json` and retry. If it fails with `runtime_access_denied`, your sandbox blocked the connection: re-r...

orca-cli

Operate Orca-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, artifacts, skill sharing, worktree comments, and Orca's embedded browser through the `orca` CLI. Use when the user says "$orca-cli", "Orca worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Orca terminal", "handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", "Orca browser", "orca artifacts", or "share skills". Prefer it over raw git worktree, ad hoc PTYs, or Computer Use when Orca state is involved. Use Computer Use only when a visible window needs GUI control that a CLI, filesystem, or API cannot do.

orchestration

Coordinate supervised Orca workers: threaded messages, blocking ask/reply, task dispatch, worker_done/escalation waits, task DAGs, decision gates, coordinator loops, and decomposing work across agents. Use `orca-cli` for full ownership handoffs — "hand off", "handoff", "handover", "give this to another agent", "another worktree" — unless asked to supervise, monitor, or coordinate a DAG, and for terminal control, lightweight terminal prompts, shell commands, Orca worktree management, and reading or waiting on terminals.
