A build pipeline for coding agents

Orc: Prompt in. Pull request out.

Orc turns a prompt or ticket into a planned, built and tested branch on your Mac. Nothing ships until you click.

How it works

Three steps. One click at the end.

  1. Ask

    Type a prompt or paste a ticket. Orc reads Linear tickets, Sentry issues and plain requests.

    Orc’s new run screen: a box to describe the task, the model and effort controls, and the project’s tickets as sticky notes.Orc’s new run screen: a box to describe the task, the model and effort controls, and the project’s tickets as sticky notes.Orc’s new run screen: a box to describe the task, the model and effort controls, and the project’s tickets as sticky notes.Orc’s new run screen: a box to describe the task, the model and effort controls, and the project’s tickets as sticky notes.Orc’s new run screen: a box to describe the task, the model and effort controls, and the project’s tickets as sticky notes.

  2. Build

    Orc writes a plan, cuts a worktree, writes the code and proves it with targeted checks.

  3. Ship

    Read the pull request with before and after shots. Then one click to open, merge or yeet.

The Factory

Every model gets a station.

A run’s main agent works from the hall. Each subagent and Orchestrate worker it starts gets a station on the floor, and only what they really hand over moves between them.

Ship

Nothing ships until you click.

Every run stops at the Ship gate with a pull request body and before and after shots. Open the PR, merge it or yeet it, and the theme’s cast sees it off.

You write the prompt. Orc does the legwork. You keep the last word.

Themes

Eleven themes, each with a day and a night.

A theme repaints the whole app: its colours, its Factory floor, its send offs and its radio station. Wear one and this page follows.

Plugins

Add what you need. Leave the rest.

Orc ships with a shelf of plugins you turn on in Settings. Each one owns its screen, its settings and its commands, and switches off cleanly.

  • Amp

    Run Orc's agents through Amp: Run with Amp, Amp bots and assistant, project scope and Amp sign-in

  • Calendar

    Read-only calendars from iCal feeds, with private addresses kept in the macOS Keychain

  • Gemini

    Run Gemini through Antigravity CLI with your saved Google sign-in and eligible subscription allowance

  • MCP server

    Connect Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients to Orc with orc-mcp, and let bots in through Bot access.

  • Pull requests

    Your pull requests, review queue, Slack review links and local review checkouts.

  • Radio

    Theme-matched music, saved playback and optional library sync.

  • Spotify

    Search and play your Spotify music from Orc, shown in the radio's now-playing bar. Needs Spotify Premium.

  • Stay awake

    A coffee cup in the sidebar that keeps this Mac from idle-sleeping while Orc runs, and turns red when it is on but not holding the Mac awake

  • Subscription usage

    Claude, Codex and Gemini allowance in the sidebar and in Settings → Accounts, checked every minute while Orc is open.

  • Vaults

    Notes for one purpose each, such as your wins and 1:1s or a game's ideas, that your assistant and runs read and propose additions to.

  • Worktree servers

    Automatic localhost dev servers for Git worktrees. Disabling blocks new launches; existing servers remain stoppable from Servers or run cleanup. Project settings are kept.

Questions

Before you hand it a ticket

What do I need to run Orc?

A Mac with git, Python 3 and one of Claude Code, Codex or Amp. Gemini works through the optional Gemini plugin.

Does Orc push or merge without asking?

No. Every run stops at the Ship gate. Pushing, merging and opening a pull request wait for your click.

Where does the work happen?

On your Mac. Each run builds in its own git worktree on its own branch, so your main checkout stays as you left it.

Which models can a run use?

Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku and Fable through Claude Code. GPT Sol, Astra, Luna and Terra through Codex. Gemini through the Gemini plugin, and Amp’s cloud agents through the Amp plugin.

What is the Factory?

A tab beside Chat that draws a run’s agents as a 3D floor: the main agent’s hall, a station for each subagent and Orchestrate worker, and the instructions and results that pass between them.

Can I make my own theme?

Yes. A theme is a plugin package: a manifest, a stylesheet and optional scenes for the Factory and the send offs. Settings has a prompt ready for your agent to write one.

Can I check on a run away from my desk?

Yes. Away from home pairs your phone with your Orc through Tailscale, and it stays private to your tailnet.

Does Orc work with other MCP clients?

Yes. The MCP server plugin offers Orc’s operations to Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients through one command.

Hand it a ticket. Keep the last word.

Orc plans, builds and proves the change. You read the pull request and click.
