Orca Inter-Agent Orchestration

Orchestration is Orca's structured coordination layer for agent messages, task ownership, dispatch state, and worker completion tracking.

Use this skill when coordination state matters. For lightweight terminal prompts or basic worktree/terminal/built-in-browser control, use orca-cli.

When To Use

• Send/reply/ask between agent terminals with persistent messages.
• Dispatch structured tasks to workers and wait for worker_done or escalation.
• Track task DAGs with dependencies.
• Run coordinator loops or decision gates.

Preconditions

• orca status --json should show a running runtime.
• orca must be on PATH (orca-ide on Linux).
• The orchestration experimental feature must be enabled in Settings > Experimental.
• orca orchestration commands are RPC calls to the running Orca runtime.
