The Orca Fleet Starter Kit — Run a Whole Team of Claude Code Agents on One Project (Free, Open-Source, Zero Conflicts)

The companion to the full video where five Claude Code agents worked one project at the same time — and three of them found a bug nobody told them about. Orca (github.com/stablyai/orca, MIT, 28,000+ stars) is the free desktop app that gives every task its own isolated git worktree, so parallel agents physically can't overwrite each other. INSIDE: (1) WHAT ORCA IS AND IS NOT — the facts table: free, MIT, Mac/Windows/Linux, runs Claude Code / Codex / Cursor and 30+ agents on the subscriptions you already pay for, no model of its own. (2) YOUR FIRST WORKTREE — the five steps from download to your first reviewed diff, plus the exact prompt shape (WHAT is wrong → WHERE to look → HOW to prove it's fixed) that found and fixed my planted bug in under three minutes. (3) THE 5-AGENT FLEET PLAYBOOK — the exact task split from the on-camera test (bug / tests / feature / chore / docs), why it can't collide, and the guardrail line that saves you every time: 'Do not change any application code.' (4) THE ORCHESTRATION QUICKSTART — the experimental coordinator layer: task-create, dispatch --inject, and the worker_done inbox, with the exact CLI commands that turned 4 dispatched tasks into 4 commits with zero conflicts. (5) THE HONEST MATH — five parallel agents burned one Claude 5-hour session meter to 100% in ~25 minutes; the four rules for running fleets in bursts without blowing your limits, plus the decision card: who should skip Orca entirely.
