This OPEN AGENT ORCHESTRATOR is CRAZY! **[AICodeKing](https://daily.dev/sources/aicodeking)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Orca is a free, MIT-licensed agent development environment (ADE) built by Stably AI that orchestrates multiple CLI coding agents in a single interface. It uses parallel git worktrees to let multiple agents work on the same repo simultaneously without conflicts, supports over 30 CLI agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and others, and requires no proxy through Orca's servers. Key features include a Monaco-based editor, built-in browser with element picker and draw-on-screenshot tools, an embedded iOS simulator that agents can drive autonomously, agent-to-agent orchestration with task handoff, cron-style automations, task manager integrations (GitHub Issues, Linear, Jira), live API usage meters with account switching, a mobile companion app for iOS and Android, and voice dictation using on-device models. A demo showed Claude Code building a 1,100-line Snake game page, self-testing it in a browser, catching two real bugs, and fixing them — all within Orca. Available on Mac (Homebrew), Arch Linux (AUR), and Windows. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Orca ADE and how does it manage multiple AI coding agents at once? Orca is a free, MIT-licensed agent development environment that uses parallel git worktrees to run multiple CLI coding agents on the same repo simultaneously without conflicts. Each task gets its own isolated worktree and branch. You can fan the same prompt to multiple agents and keep the best result. It supports over 30 agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Mistral, and nothing is proxied through Orca's servers. _Developers juggling multiple agent sessions track tools like Orca on daily.dev._ ### Does Orca proxy my Claude or Codex API calls through its own servers? No, Orca does not proxy agent traffic through its servers. When you run Claude Code inside Orca, it uses your own Claude account directly. You bring your existing agent subscriptions — Claude, Codex, or others — and Orca orchestrates them locally without intercepting the API calls. _Keeping up with privacy and architecture decisions in AI tooling is easier when developers share findings on daily.dev._ ### What task management and CI integrations does Orca support? Orca integrates with GitHub Issues, GitLab, Linear, and Jira, surfacing tickets in a built-in tasks view. You can start a worktree directly from an issue, and with the Linear skill, agents can read and update tickets themselves. For version control, it supports pull request workflows on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, including checks and review status. _Teams evaluating agent tooling for their existing issue tracker workflows find relevant comparisons on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Orca vs. Kilo Agent Manager](https://daily.dev/posts/orca-vs-kilo-agent-manager-9ufjemos9) · Kilo Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Launch HN: Omnara \(YC S25\) – Run Claude Code and Codex from anywhere](https://daily.dev/posts/launch-hn-omnara-yc-s25-run-claude-code-and-codex-from-anywhere-b3n2icy7y) · Hacker News · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [These open-source tools do what Claude charges for, and some do it better](https://daily.dev/posts/these-open-source-tools-do-what-claude-charges-for-and-some-do-it-better-nqphnogii) · XDA Developers · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#ai-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-coding), [#claude-code](https://daily.dev/tags/claude-code), [#git](https://daily.dev/tags/git) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/orca-you-re-missing-out-this-open-agent-orchestrator-is-crazy--qkygbkr0c) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Orca: YOU'RE MISSING OUT!
