Answer questions about an earlier agent run from its recording rather than from memory, and replay or fork that run. Use when the user asks why a previous run did something, which step changed a file or broke the build, whether yesterday's failure still reproduces, or whether a different model would have got it right.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reading a Recorded Agent Run A recording is evidence. Your memory of a session is not, and neither is a transcript you were handed — both are missing the tool results, the exit codes, and the files that changed without anyone mentioning them. **The rule: when a question is about something that already happened, read the trace before you answer.** Do not reconstruct it. If a recording exists, guessing is the wrong move even when the guess would have been right. This skill does not drive the agent — it reads what an earlier one did. Pair it with whatever harness produced the run: Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Cursor, or a framework agent recorded with `orca record generic-openai -- <cmd>`. ## When to use - "Why did you delete / overwrite / move X?" - "What changed this file?" or "Which step broke the build?" - "Can you reproduce yesterday's failure?" - "Would a different model have got this right?" If the user wants to *start* recording rather than read a past run, that is `orca record <agent>`, not this skill. ## Setup check ```bash node --version # require Node 20+ which orca || npm install -g orcareplay …

How to install
mdr add mxyhi/ok-skills/orca-replay@sha256:94d64489ed452e90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.6c7e207, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
