## What it does

Orca keeps agents side by side in git worktrees and lists them in a sidebar. This skill drives that setup: clausona assigns each worker its profile, so one task can run on another Claude account, on Codex, or on an API model like GLM or DeepSeek. Handy when a single account's limits would slow a fan-out.

It builds on the `fleet-core` skill, which holds the shared rules; orca-fleet adds the Orca-specific steps. First it checks that `orca status` reports `runtimeReachable: true`, that the repo appears in `orca repo list --json`, and that the repo has a remote, since workers push their branches. Then it creates a worktree and a terminal per task and sends `clausona run <profile> -- <args>`. It waits for the shell to settle, confirms the agent actually came up, and answers the folder-trust prompt the first time a profile meets a repo.

Do not use Orca's own account switcher or orchestration commands for workers — `clausona run` picks the account. Orca sets `CODEX_HOME` in its terminals, so a bare `codex` there runs on Orca's account; `clausona run` overrides that. Workers sharing one Claude profile go up one at a time, each after the previous one produces its first output.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add larcane97/clausona --skill orca-fleet -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/orca-fleet/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/orca-fleet/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add larcane97/clausona --skill orca-fleet -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/orca-fleet/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add larcane97/clausona --skill orca-fleet -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/orca-fleet/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install larcane97/clausona orca-fleet
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/orca-fleet/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add larcane97/clausona --skill orca-fleet -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/larcane97/clausona --path plugins/orca-fleet/skills/orca-fleet
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/orca-fleet/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add larcane97/clausona --skill orca-fleet -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/larcane97/clausona/tree/HEAD/plugins/orca-fleet/skills/orca-fleet/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- spread a batch of tasks across several accounts so one limit does not stall the run
- start agents in separate git worktrees and watch them from Orca's sidebar
- route some tasks to an API model such as GLM or DeepSeek
- wait for an agent's turn to end and pull its last reply
- retire workers once their work is done

## Example prompts
- Split this across my accounts in Orca
- Run these on DeepSeek in Orca
- Start three agents in Orca and show which profile each one uses

description: Run several coding agents in parallel in Orca worktrees, each under its own clausona profile (another Claude Code or Codex account, or an API model such as GLM or DeepSeek), then watch them, check their work and retire them. Use when the user works in Orca and wants work spread across accounts or models, when one account's limits would slow a fan-out, or says "split this across my accounts in Orca", "run these on DeepSeek in Orca".

# Orca fleet on clausona profiles

Orca runs agents side by side in git worktrees and lists them in its sidebar. clausona puts each
terminal's agent on the profile you choose.

## 0. Load the shared rules

Load the `fleet-core` skill first and follow it; this skill only adds the Orca steps. In Claude
Code, invoke it with the Skill tool. If that fails, or you run in Codex, read the first of these
files that exists, where `<base>` is this skill's base directory:

- `<base>/../../../fleet-core/skills/fleet-core/SKILL.md`
- `<base>/../../../../fleet-core/*/skills/fleet-core/SKILL.md` (if several versions match, read the
  highest)

If none exists, stop and tell the user to install it: `claude plugin install fleet-core@clausona`
in Claude Code, or `codex plugin add fleet-core@clausona` in Codex.

## 1. Before anything

Stop and tell the user what is missing if any of these fails.

1. `orca status` shows `runtimeReachable: true`. If Orca is not open, ask the user to open it.
2. `orca repo list --json` lists the repo. If not, ask before adding it with
   `orca repo add --path <repo> --json`: it adds the repo to the user's Orca sidebar.
3. The repo has a remote: workers push their branches.

Pass `--json` and read handles and paths from the reply; never guess them. Orca runs on macOS,
Linux and Windows, and the commands below are the same on each.

Orca has its own account switcher and orchestration commands. Do not use them for workers:
`clausona run` decides each worker's account. Orca also sets `CODEX_HOME` in its terminals, so a
bare `codex` there runs on Orca's account; `clausona run` overrides it.

## 2. Starting a worker

For each task, after `fleet-core` picked its profile:

1. **Worktree.** `orca worktree create --repo path:<repo> --name fleet-<task> --json`, and record
   `.result.worktree.path` (under `~/orca/workspaces/` by default). Then
   `orca worktree set --worktree path:<worktree> --display-name "<task> · <profile>"`, so the
   sidebar shows which account runs where. Keep it under 26 characters.
2. **Terminal.** `orca terminal create --worktree path:<worktree> --json`, and record
```
