The default terminal for an AI coding agent running under the Orca IDE (macOS and Linux) - run any command that needs a person or a real TTY (Touch ID, a password manager's desktop-app integration, a passkey, sudo, an interactive prompt, a long visible run) in Orca's own floating terminal through Orca's CLI, and get the command's REAL exit code and output back as JSON. Use instead of opening iTerm, Terminal.app, gnome-terminal or any osascript/open-launched window, and instead of asking the…
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
# Floating terminal (Orca IDE) > **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If Orca's CLI changed, a measured fact below no longer holds, or a workaround was needed: fix this file and the script immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues. An agent's own Bash tool has no terminal a person can see or answer, and some tools refuse to run without one: biometric unlock, a password manager's app integration, `sudo`, passkeys, anything that prompts. Under the Orca IDE the answer is **Orca's floating terminal**, driven only through Orca's own CLI: one panel that exists on every Orca desktop, opened and read without any other app. [`scripts/orca-float`](./scripts/orca-float) does it in one call and hands back the result. ## When to use it — the default order 1. **The agent's own Bash tool** for anything non-interactive. It stays the first choice. 2. **`orca-float run`** for anything that needs a person, a TTY, or should stay visible. This is the default terminal for agents under Orca. 3. **Ask the person to run it themselves** only when Orca is absent (`orca-float doctor` exits 3) or its floating terminal is disabled. …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/floating-terminal@sha256:7a0713345c89583fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.5b7c094, 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.
