orca-orchestration skillA

orca-orchestration is agent-read markdown (skill) from upex-galaxy/agentic-qa-boilerplate: Multi-session agent orchestration for this repo: one conductor session coordinating a fleet of persistent worker sessions (one per story, per module, per failure cluster) through the Orca runtime, plus the non-Orca fallback where the same launch lines are pasted by hand. Owns the HOW of fleet work — terminals, Runs, Tasks, dispatch, briefs, claims, board cards, liveness, cleanup — while each workflow skill keeps owning the WHAT. Use when the user wants to: orchestrate or parallelize work across .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# Orca Orchestration — One Conductor, a Fleet of Sessions

This skill is the transport layer for work that does not fit in one session. A **conductor** talks to the owner and coordinates **workers**; each worker is a persistent agent session that owns a scope from start to finish, reports through a mailbox, and can be interrupted, questioned and resumed. The **fleet** is all workers of one **Run**.

It is **optional by construction**. Everything here has a path that works with no runtime at all: the same launch lines, pasted into terminals by a human, and the same tokens and artifacts the workflow skills already write. What the runtime buys is the step a human would otherwise do with their hands, plus a mailbox instead of screen-scraping.
