Orca Inter-Agent Orchestration

Use this skill when the task involves coordinating multiple coding agents through Orca's orchestration system. For basic terminal and worktree management, use the orca-cli skill instead.

When To Use

You need to send messages between agent terminals

You need to decompose a spec into parallel subtasks with dependencies

You need to dispatch tasks to worker agents with structured feedback

You need to act as a coordinator managing a multi-agent workflow

You need to create decision gates for human-in-the-loop checkpoints

Preconditions

Orca must be running (orca status --json should return runtime: true).

The orca CLI must be on PATH (installed via Settings > Browser > Enable Orca CLI).

The orchestration experimental feature must be enabled in Settings > Experimental.

All orca orchestration commands are RPC calls to the running Orca runtime — they require an active Orca session.
