The idea

A pipeline is a composite skill. An atomic skill is one prompt; a composite skill chains multiple skills into a DAG. The DAG is the skill — written in SKILL.md, a cross-vendor open format that works with Claude, OpenAI Codex, or any LLM that reads markdown.

Author skills in any AI chat (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor), save to ~/.claude/skills/, and Orka becomes the management, execution, and observability layer — no servers, no cloud, no API keys. Your skill library compounds with every conversation.

One file format, three runtimes

Runtime	Reads	Runs
Claude Code	Prose body	LLM follows the steps
Orka canvas	`<!-- orka:graph -->` block	Visual DAG with per-node streaming
`orka-cli run`	Graph block (headless)	Delegates to `claude -p`

Mac-native output

Orka routes results to places cloud tools cannot reach:

• Apple Notes — append via JXA
• iCloud Drive — direct file write
• Local files — anywhere on disk
• HTTP webhooks — Slack, WeCom, Notion, any URL
• Shell commands — $CONTENT substitution

1. Install Claude Code:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
