```bash
# Install (README)
brew install --cask stablyai/orca/orca

# Alternative: download from https://onOrca.dev or GitHub Releases
```

## Intro

Orca is a multi-agent IDE that helps you run and supervise CLI coding agents side-by-side across repositories, with worktree-native isolation and fast diff review.

**Best for:** Parallelizing agent work across repos/branches while keeping changes reviewable

**Works with:** macOS/Windows/Linux; integrates with many CLI agents listed in README

**Setup time:** 10–25 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- README lists install paths via onOrca.dev, GitHub Releases, and Homebrew cask.
- Supports many CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) as stated in README.
- GitHub: 2,213 stars · 145 forks; pushed 2026-05-13 (GitHub API verified).

## Main

A lightweight operating model:

1) Give each agent a dedicated worktree so branches and dependencies never conflict.
2) Keep a review loop: agents draft changes, you review diffs, then commit/merge.
3) Use notifications/status to time-box agents and prevent “forgotten” background work.

### FAQ

**Q: Is Orca tied to one agent vendor?**
A: README positions it as supporting many CLI agents, not a single vendor lock-in.

**Q: How do I install it?**
A: README lists downloads via onOrca.dev / GitHub Releases and a Homebrew cask install.

**Q: Why worktrees?**
A: Worktree-native isolation lets you run multiple agents without stashing or branch collisions (README positioning).

## 快速使用

```bash
# 安装（README）
brew install --cask stablyai/orca/orca

# 也可从 https://onOrca.dev 或 GitHub Releases 下载
```

## 简介

Orca 是一个多 Agent IDE：让你在多个仓库并行运行 CLI 编码 Agent，并用 worktree 做隔离与快速 diff 复核。

**最适合：** 跨仓库/分支并行跑 Agent，同时保持改动可审查

**适配：** macOS/Windows/Linux；README 列出可搭配多种 CLI agents 使用

**配置时间：** 10–25 分钟

### 关键事实（已验证）

- README 提供 onOrca.dev、GitHub Releases 与 Homebrew cask 的安装方式。
- README 表示可与多种 CLI agents 协同（Claude Code、Codex、OpenCode 等）。
- GitHub：2,213 stars · 145 forks；最近更新 2026-05-13（GitHub API 验证）。

## 正文

一个更容易坚持的使用模型：

1) 每个 Agent 分配一个 worktree，分支与依赖不打架。
2) 保留 review 回路：Agent 产出改动，你看 diff，再提交/合并。
3) 借助通知/状态做 time-box，避免后台任务被遗忘导致漂移。

### FAQ

**会被绑定到某一家 Agent 吗？**
答：README 的定位是支持多种 CLI agents，并非单一厂商锁定。

**怎么安装？**
答：README 给出 onOrca.dev / GitHub Releases 下载，以及 Homebrew cask 安装。

**为什么强调 worktree？**
答：worktree 隔离能让多个 Agent 并行工作而不需要 stash，也减少分支冲突。
