Jira boards in Orca

Orca

Orca now shows your Jira sprint as a board beside your agents

Jira issues in Orca as a board, with the Current sprint switch on and To Do, Review, Done and Waiting for release columns

Agents can read and update tickets through the Orca CLI.

GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #28633, #28616, #28592

Orca now shows Jira issues as a list or a board, filtered to the current sprint, and starts a workspace from any ticket. Agents can read, comment on and move tickets through the Orca CLI.

Shared skills reach 20 more agents

Orca

Shared skills now install for 20 more agents

  • Kiro
  • Qoder
  • CodeBuddy
  • GitHub Copilot
  • Goose
  • Pi
  • OpenCode
  • and 13 more

On Windows, WSL discovery now checks every supported agent.

GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #29122

A skill you share in Orca now lands where Kiro, CodeBuddy, GitHub Copilot, Goose and sixteen more agents look for it. Under WSL, Orca now finds all of them, where it used to check only Codex and Claude.

Turn edits inline in native chat

Orca

Native chat now shows each turn’s edits right in the conversation

Native chat is still experimental.

An Orca native chat turn summary with one changed file expanded to show its patch: return Hello becomes return Hello from Orca
GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #27758, #27715

At the end of a native chat turn, open any changed file to see its patches inline, and Mermaid diagrams now pan and zoom. Native chat is still experimental.

Claude goals and Codex context

Orca

Claude goals and Codex context usage now sit above the message box

GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #28923, #28084

Set a /goal in a Claude chat and Orca shows a goal strip with the time spent and a Clear goal button. Codex chats now show how full the model's context is.

Remote terminals reconnect on their own

Orca

Remote terminals in Orca now come back on their own after a dropped connection

Remote panes
reconnect once the host answers again
Sleeping agents
resume their conversation on a managed SSH host

Existing SSH hosts keep their saved Orca CLI control setting.

GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #29444, #29237, #29672

When a VPN or Tailscale link drops and returns, Orca's remote terminals reconnect by themselves. A sleeping agent on a managed SSH host resumes its conversation. Existing hosts keep their saved Orca CLI control setting.

Resume a phone chat in a terminal

Orca

From the Orca phone app, continue any chat in a new terminal

The original chat stays as it was.

An OpenCode chat in the Orca phone app with its tab menu open: Resume in New CLI, then Close
GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #29783

In the Orca phone app, long-press a chat tab and choose Resume in New CLI to continue it in a terminal. It works for Claude, Codex, Grok, Pi, OpenCode and OMP when the host can copy the conversation.

Cmd+J opens websites

Orca

Cmd/Ctrl+J now opens a website in a browser tab

New worktree
shows checkout progress while it is created
Cleanup
names running agents before it stops them

Release notes on GitHub

GitHub release v1.4.229 · stablyai/orca · #29050, #24093, #23593

Type a website or localhost address into Cmd+J and Orca opens it in a browser tab. New worktrees show checkout progress, and cleanup names running agents before stopping them. The rest is in the release notes on GitHub.
