From orc

Single-pane view of all orc system activity: active orchestration, running autoresearch loops, backlog count, last commit. Use when: "orc status", "orc:status", "what's running", "what's the state", "show me orc", or at session start to orient. Part of the orc system: orc:orchestrate, orc:backlog, orc:autoresearch, orc:status, orc:recap, orc:scope, orc:handoff.

Render as a **markdown table** in your reply. Claude Code's UI renders markdown natively — don't use Unicode boxes, ANSI escapes, or custom width math. (This corrects an earlier misstep; see feedback_status_formatting.md.)

Orc: Status

Render as a markdown table in your reply. Claude Code's UI renders markdown natively — don't use Unicode boxes, ANSI escapes, or custom width math. (This corrects an earlier misstep; see feedback_status_formatting.md.)

What to read

.orc/state.json — active orc:orchestrate orchestration (wave, task counts, agent status)

var/autoresearch/*/session.json — running autoresearch loops (iteration, metric, delta)

.orc/backlog/BACKLOG.jsonl — open items count + priority breakdown

git log -1 --format="%h %s (%cr)" — last commit for context

Output format

**orc** · <repo-name> | System | Status | Detail | |---|---|---| | Plan | active | `taxonomy-restructure` — wave 2/3, 3 tasks running | | Autoresearch | active | `coverage-push` — iter 14/50, 68.2% (+2.3pp) | | Backlog | 4 open | 1 p1 · 2 p2 · 1 p3 | | Last commit | — | `ee97114` feat(orc-backlog): minimal TUI · 5m ago | → `/orc:handoff` checkpoint · `/orc:recap` full briefing

Status column conventions

active (bold) — work in flight

idle (plain) — system is present but nothing running

N open — backlog count

failed (bold) — needs attention

— (em-dash) — not applicable (e.g., no active work for commits)

Footer hints (context-aware)

Work in flight → /orc:handoff checkpoint · /orc:recap full briefing

Idle with backlog → /orc:pick <id> promote · /orc:scope shape new work

Totally idle → /orc:scope shape new work · /orc:add <idea> capture for later

Empty / absent states

No .orc/ directory → Backlog is not initialized. Capture an idea with \/orc add `.`

No git history → omit the Last commit row entirely

Design principle

Markdown tables are theme-aware, alignment-handled, copy-friendly. Reserve custom ANSI TUI (like poll-wave.sh) for live-updating regions where markdown can't animate. For a one-shot dashboard, markdown is always the right answer.
