orc
orc is a lightweight orchestration system for Claude Code that manages the full dev session lifecycle: capture ideas, scope work, dispatch to parallel agents, run autonomous optimization loops, and hand off cleanly between sessions.
Install¶
This installs seven /orc:* slash commands plus the underlying skills. Start a new Claude Code session and type /orc: to tab-complete.
What's here¶
- Quickstart — paste-ready 5-minute walkthrough from cold start through your first orchestration.
- Commands — auto-generated reference for every
/orc:*slash command. - Architecture — the wave-based parallel dispatch model,
.orc/state.json, and how Claude / Cursor / Codex routing works. - Changelog — release history and semver policy.
Why it exists¶
Most Claude Code sessions die at the boundaries: ideas captured mid-flow get lost, complex work gets serialized when it could fan out, and crash recovery means re-explaining everything. orc makes those boundaries cheap — backlog for capture, orchestrate for fan-out, handoff and recap for resumption.
