Coding agents: Claude Code

Typed value: Yes.

Orca launches and tracks existing CLI agents in terminals rather than embedding a harness: many CLI launchers are preconfigured (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Gemini, Antigravity, OpenCode, Copilot CLI and others) and any other CLI can run in a terminal. Orca is not a model provider. Orca v1.4.256 runs Antigravity chats through its managed official ACP server or a compatible host agy acp command.

• Harnesses: Preconfigured launchers for many CLI agents; deep integration for Claude Code, Codex, Muse Code and Cursor CLI, with the feature set (usage, hot-swap, hooks, status, history) differing by agent; auto-setup for many others. Orca v1.4.256 runs Antigravity chats through its managed official ACP server or a compatible host agy acp command.
• Model providers: Orca does not host models. Model choice is made inside each agent CLI; Orca shows usage for Claude, Codex, Muse, Gemini, Antigravity, OpenCode, Kimi, MiniMax, Cursor, ZCode and GLM plans, and can pass opaque model IDs to supervised workers of six agents.
• Custom adapters: Any other CLI agent can be launched in a terminal and per-agent launch arguments and environment can be edited; status dots and hooks need a recognized agent. No separate adapter API found.
• Session integration: Orca launches the agent CLI in a terminal PTY and reads state from OSC titles and hooks; a structured chat tab for supported agents keeps session state in Orca; supervised workers are launched through the orchestration CLI.
• Mixed harness operation: Documented: the first-session walkthrough runs Claude Code, Codex and Cursor CLI side by side on the same prompt, and orchestration can start workers of different agents. Not observed.

• Documentation only; mixed-harness operation was not observed.
• Depth of integration varies by agent: some have hooks, status and usage, many are launch-only.
• Agents not recognized by Orca show no status indicators.
• Structured chat and usage facts come from live docs reread 2026-11-07; the pinned 4bb6f20 docs have no such sections, so they are not v1.4.222 code-inspected facts.
• Antigravity structured chat has its own sign-in and cannot adopt terminal conversations; supported account types and runtime compatibility still apply.

Coding agents: Gemini CLI

Typed value: Yes.

Orca launches and tracks existing CLI agents in terminals rather than embedding a harness: many CLI launchers are preconfigured (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Gemini, Antigravity, OpenCode, Copilot CLI and others) and any other CLI can run in a terminal. Orca is not a model provider. Orca v1.4.256 runs Antigravity chats through its managed official ACP server or a compatible host agy acp command.

• Harnesses: Preconfigured launchers for many CLI agents; deep integration for Claude Code, Codex, Muse Code and Cursor CLI, with the feature set (usage, hot-swap, hooks, status, history) differing by agent; auto-setup for many others. Orca v1.4.256 runs Antigravity chats through its managed official ACP server or a compatible host agy acp command.
• Custom adapters: Any other CLI agent can be launched in a terminal and per-agent launch arguments and environment can be edited; status dots and hooks need a recognized agent. No separate adapter API found.

Workspace isolation: Git worktree

Typed value: Yes.

Each task is a real git worktree with its own branch and directory. Containers or VMs are documented through experimental Cloud VM recipes. Orca documents no hostile-code boundary, and launches agents with permission-bypass flags by default on the premise that disposable worktrees are the safety net.

• Checkout: Each workspace has its own on-disk checkout via git worktree.
• Branch: Each worktree has its own branch and start-from ref.
• Worktree: Independent git worktrees; plain git works inside them.
• Filesystem: Worktrees are separate directories, but shared paths such as node_modules may be symlinked between worktrees.
• Secrets: .worktreeinclude copies listed gitignored files such as .env into each worktree; managed Codex accounts use isolated homes.
• Code separation: Per-worktree file changes are documented.

Workspace isolation: Container

Typed value: Yes.

Each task is a real git worktree with its own branch and directory. Containers or VMs are documented through experimental Cloud VM recipes. Orca documents no hostile-code boundary, and launches agents with permission-bypass flags by default on the premise that disposable worktrees are the safety net.

• Container: Cloud VM recipes can start a cloud sandbox, VM or local Docker container per workspace (experimental).
• Vm: Same experimental per-workspace recipes (Vercel Sandbox, Fly, Modal, SSH hosts).

Coordinator

Typed value: No.

1. Orca: Experimental activation notice; Core model and supervised loop

   Finding: The current first-party guide requires enabling orchestration under Settings Experimental and explicitly says the panel and switch are temporarily unavailable. It documents native Run/Task/Dispatch objects and worker delegation tools, but those definitions do not establish a currently enableable native issue tracker or coordinator. Retired run/coordinator commands have no effects.

Native issue tracking

Typed value: No.

Orca documents native Run/Task/Dispatch records independent of external trackers, but the required Experimental orchestration panel and switch are currently unavailable. The native task workflow therefore does not pass the current availability gate.

• Create: The guide defines task-create independently of a worker, but requires a currently unavailable orchestration switch.
• Task session separation: Tasks and Dispatch attempts are separate native objects in the documented/source model; current activation is unavailable.
• Durable states: The model defines native task states, but the guide marks required activation temporarily unavailable.

Unattended triggers

Typed value: Yes.

orca automations run a prompt on hourly, daily, weekday, weekly, cron or RRULE schedules against a repo or worktree, scheduled on the Orca host that stores them, with an optional shell precheck, missed-run grace and manual rerun. Event triggers were not found.

• Schedules: Presets, cron expressions, RRULE and timezone.
• Recurring tasks: Recurring prompts for triage, review and maintenance; reuse-session option.
• Completion conditions: A precheck command can skip a run; run outcomes (succeeded, failed) are recorded.
• Scheduler location: Automations are stored and scheduled per host (this computer or connected Orca hosts).
• Overlaps: A missed-run grace window can be edited; overlap handling was not described.
• Retries: Manual Rerun for runs that failed before opening a workspace; no automatic retry documented.
• Client independence: Schedules are stored and run on the selected Orca runtime host. A reachable Remote Orca Server keeps its agent processes after the controlling laptop disconnects.

Branches, worktrees, staging by hunk, commits, push, PR or MR creation (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud) with draft state on GitHub and GitLab (Bitbucket Cloud has no draft PRs), stacked GitHub PRs, checks, comment replies and conflict resolution are integrated in the app. Rebase relies on plain git with abort controls.

• Commits: Stage by hunk or file, commit, AI-drafted messages, explicit amend.
• Pull requests: Create PR or MR with a draft toggle on GitHub and GitLab; Bitbucket Cloud has no draft PRs and hides the Draft option (commit-push docs); auto-merge and stacked PRs on GitHub.
• Comments: GitHub conversation and review-thread replies with reactions.
• Ci response: Failed check logs inline and Fix broken checks hand-off.
• Rebase: Rebase is done with plain git in a terminal; Orca offers abort rebase and force push with lease.
• Conflicts: Three-way conflict UI and Resolve with AI.

Self-hosting

Typed value: Yes.

Orca can be fully self-hosted for desktop, SSH and Remote Orca Server use with no Orca account; Relay pairing, artifact links and skill sharing use vendor-hosted services. Worktrees are real git worktrees and agent transcripts stay in each CLI own store. Export and cancellation behavior were not found.

• Self hosting: Run the desktop app or orca serve on your own machine; Enterprise page says Orca is self-hostable.
• Account independence: SSH, server pairing over Tailscale and local use are documented without an Orca account.

Typed value: Yes.

Keeps going with laptop closed

Typed value: Yes.

Local desktop, user-owned SSH hosts and persistent Remote Orca Servers; experimental Cloud VM recipes use the user cloud account. Current SSH uses managed server sessions. Orca does not sell managed VPS hosting.

• Byo remote: SSH hosts and self-hosted Remote Orca Servers; current SSH installs its managed server and keeps sessions after client disconnect.
• Self hosted: Remote Orca Server on a user machine via the desktop app or orca serve; revocable per-client access grants.
• Provisioning: Add and test an SSH target; pair a server with an access link or pairing URL; Cloud VM recipes in orca.yaml.
• Expiry: Remote servers must remain awake and online. Current SSH docs remove legacy relay-only lifecycle settings; historical v1.4.222 lease defaults do not establish current expiry.
• Client disconnect: Server mode: agents keep running when the client sleeps or disconnects. SSH: remote PTY sessions live on the host's managed Orca server and survive Orca closing on the laptop. Documented, not tested.
• Other device continuation: Laptop, browser client and phone can pair to the same server runtime and share sessions. Documented, not tested.

Orca launches and tracks existing CLI agents in terminals rather than embedding a harness: many CLI launchers are preconfigured (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Gemini, Antigravity, OpenCode, Copilot CLI and others) and any other CLI can run in a terminal. Orca is not a model provider. Orca v1.4.256 runs Antigravity chats through its managed official ACP server or a compatible host agy acp command.

Creating a worktree and launching an agent is a create-and-launch sequence with no mandatory workflow selection (the first-session docs list add repo, create worktree, pick agent, then launch, so the flow is multi-step, not one click); per-agent launch arguments and per-worker model and effort can be configured. Growing a task into an epic was not found.

Provider authentication and infrastructure IAM roles are separate from Orca workspace roles.

Approval handling is largely delegated to the agent CLIs: by default Orca pre-fills each supported CLI's permission-bypass flag and pre-trusts folders. Settings > Agents > Agent permissions chooses Manual, Auto or Yolo for new terminal and structured-chat sessions (Auto only for agents that support it: Claude, Claude Agent Teams and Codex), and a Codex chat in Ask mode keeps the workspace read-only until Codex requests an edit. Orca surfaces waiting prompts in terminal, chat and phone. Artifact publishing and agent skill sharing are default-off gates, and links are revocable.
