# Orca A DeepSeek-native coding agent for your terminal. Give Orca a task and it reads code, edits files, runs commands, verifies the result, and keeps working until the task is done or it needs you. Use the TUI for interactive work or `orca exec` for scripts and CI. Orca is built in Rust, runs locally, and is MIT licensed. [English](README.md) · [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md) · [日本語](README.ja-JP.md) · [Tiếng Việt](README.vi.md) · [한국어](README.ko-KR.md) · [Español](README.es-419.md) · [Português](README.pt-BR.md) [Website](https://orcaagent.dev/) · [Changelog](https://orcaagent.dev/changelog/) · [Releases](https://github.com/echoVic/orca-agent/releases/latest) · [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@blade-ai/orca) ## Install ```bash npm install -g @blade-ai/orca ``` Or install the native binary directly: ```bash curl -fsSL https://orcaagent.dev/install.sh | sh ``` On Windows PowerShell: ```powershell irm https://orcaagent.dev/install.ps1 | iex ``` From a project directory, provision its restricted sandbox capability with: ```powershell & ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://orcaagent.dev/install.ps1))) -SetupSandbox ``` The npm package supports macOS, Linux, and Windows on ARM64 and x64. Prebuilt archives are also available from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/echoVic/orca-agent/releases/latest). On Windows, Orca prefers PowerShell 7 and detects its standard installation path even when it is absent from `PATH`. Restricted sessions fall back to `cmd.exe` when PowerShell 7 is unavailable. Windows PowerShell 5.1 remains an explicit option only for modes that do not require AppContainer isolation. Protocol command arrays are launched as native Windows argv without shell re-parsing; legacy string commands use the resolved shell dialect. ## Use ```bash export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-... orca # open the TUI orca exec "fix the failing test" # run headlessly orca exec --verifier "cargo test" "fix it" # verify before finishing orca --mode=acp # connect an ACP client orca --resume [SESSION_ID] # resume a saved conversation orca --fork SESSION_ID # fork a saved conversation ``` On Windows PowerShell, set the key with `$env:DEEPSEEK_API_KEY = "sk-..."`; the `orca` commands are the same. In the TUI, `@` searches files, skills, plugins, and MCP resources. Session commands are `/new`, `/resume`, `/fork [name]`, `/rename [name]`, `/status`, and `/copy [N]`. The resume picker also supports fork, rename, archive, delete, and copying a session ID. `/history` is retired; `/clear` remains a hidden compatibility alias for `/new`. `Ctrl+L` clears only the displayed transcript and terminal scrollback, keeping the current conversation context. On exit, Orca prints the exact `orca --resume <SESSION_ID>` command for the session. Use `/plan` for read-only planning, `/goal` for a persistent objective, `/workflows` for background work, and `/trust` to manage the current folder's sandbox permissions. ## What it does - Uses DeepSeek's reasoning and tool-use semantics directly, with SSE streaming, prefix-cache-friendly prompts, automatic context management, and retry logic. - Reads, searches, edits, and writes code; runs shell commands; and can verify the result with a command you choose. - Gates risky actions with `suggest`, sandboxed `auto-edit`, full-access `full-auto`, and read-only `plan` modes, plus per-folder trust. - Saves local conversations with `--resume` for continuation and `--fork` for branching. - Runs persistent goals without a fixed turn ceiling, plus subagents and JavaScript workflows for longer tasks that need continuation or parallel work. - Loads project instructions, skills, plugins, custom tools, MCP tools, and MCP resources after the workspace is trusted. - Exposes stable JSONL, app-server, and Agent Client Protocol (ACP) contracts for editors, harnesses, and CI. Configuration priority is environment va
