Orca skills registry & MCP
Install Orca agent skills with npx skills add, including orca-cli, orchestration, computer-use, and orca-emulator.
Orca CLI commands are distributed as skills — versioned packages an agent can install into its own skill directory.
Installable Orca skills
Use npx skills add with the public Orca repo and the skill name. The default agent setup uses orca-cli, computer-use, and orchestration; install orca-emulator only when agents need to drive a local iOS Simulator from Orca.
| Skill | Install | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
orca-cli | npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orca-cli | Orca-managed worktrees, terminals, files, automations, and the built-in browser. |
orchestration | npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orchestration | Structured multi-agent coordination with messages, tasks, dispatches, and decision gates. |
computer-use | npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill computer-use | Desktop app control through accessibility trees, screenshots, clicks, typing, and safe UI actions. |
orca-emulator | npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orca-emulator | iOS Simulator control from Orca with taps, gestures, typing, permissions, camera injection, and accessibility. |
orca-cli
npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orca-cli
After install, your agent has a SKILL.md describing every Orca CLI command — worktree, terminal, and browser.
orchestration
npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orchestration
Use this when an agent should coordinate other agents through orca orchestration messages, tasks, dispatches, and worker completion tracking. See Orchestration for the workflow.
computer-use
npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill computer-use
Use this when an agent needs to inspect and operate local desktop app windows through Orca's computer-use surface. See Computer use for the workflow.
orca-emulator
npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orca-emulator
Use this when an agent should control an iOS Simulator from inside Orca through orca emulator commands.
Add your own skills
Any repo with a skills/<name>/SKILL.md file can be installed via npx skills add. Point your agent at internal repos to give it company-specific powers.
MCP servers
Orca supports Model Context Protocol servers for agents that speak it. Register MCP endpoints under Settings → Integrations → MCP. MCP servers show up as tools inside the agent CLI that consume them.
