Orca lets you run multiple code-generation agents (Codex, ClaudeCode, Pi, etc.) side-by-side in isolated git worktrees and compare or merge their outputs. It combines split terminals, UI scraping, remote execution, commit workflows, and real-time mobile notifications to manage and steer agents without context switching.

• Orca runs multiple AI coding agents (Codex, ClaudeCode, OpenCode, Pi, etc.) in parallel using isolated git worktrees, so you can fan out one prompt to several agents and merge the best output.
• It bundles a full dev environment—WebGL terminal, embedded VS Code with autosave, and Chromium-based UI scraping to capture HTML/CSS/screenshots directly into prompts.
• Mobile apps (iOS/Android) let you get notified when agents finish or need input, then steer them, review PRs, and comment on diffs remotely.
• It's MIT-licensed and open source, installable via Homebrew, AUR, or prebuilt binaries, with every action scriptable via CLI commands.

Claude Code is a command-line AI agent that reads, edits, and runs code and files on your computer based on plain English prompts. It handles everything from file management and data gathering to custom workflows, with built-in tools for permissions, version control, and session memory.

• Claude Code executes actions (editing files, running commands, installing packages) directly in your terminal instead of just chatting about code, pausing for approval on risky actions unless pre-approved via settings.local.json or blocked via a deny list.
• Context window fills up with conversation/file history, so at 85–95% capacity you need /compact (summarize) or /clear (reset), and billing is token-based (~0.75 words/token) tracked via /cost.
• You can switch models on the fly with /model (Haiku for speed/cost, Sonnet as default, Opus for max power), and CLAUDE.md plus automatic memory persist project-specific context and preferences across sessions.
• Customization extends via slash commands, on-demand "skills," and hooks that trigger background scripts (like auto-formatting), giving fine-grained control over autonomy and tool access.
