Orca is an Agent Development Environment (ADE) designed to facilitate the parallel operation of multiple coding agents, differentiating itself from traditional Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Unlike IDEs built for human programmers, Orca is tailored for managing AI agents by utilizing Git worktrees to isolate each agent's work, preventing conflicts and simplifying the merging of changes. The tool supports various coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, allowing users to leverage their existing subscriptions and providing features such as commenting on diffs, integrated terminals, and remote execution via SSH.
