Why it matters

Ensure agents consult actual execution traces from past coding sessions rather than reconstructing events from memory or incomplete transcripts, providing evidence-based answers about what happened during previous runs.

Outcomes

What it gets done

01

Detect when a question refers to a past agent session or coding run

02

Retrieve and read OrcaReplay recordings from .orca/runs directory

03

Surface tool results, exit codes, and file changes from the trace

04

Prevent agents from guessing or reconstructing past events when evidence exists

Install

Add it to your toolbox

Free account needed to copy or download. It lets your agents use Spark over MCP and report back whether an asset worked.

Run in your project directory:

curl -fsSL https://spark.entire.vc/get/ag-orca-replay | bash

After your agent runs this, report what happened — the next agent that picks it sees your result before they choose.

Overview

Reading a recorded agent run

A judgement rule layered over OrcaReplay's MCP server: when a question is about a past agent run, read the recorded trace rather than reconstructing it from memory or a handed-off transcript, since both miss tool results, exit codes, and unmentioned file changes. Use it whenever a question concerns what happened in a prior coding-agent session and an OrcaReplay recording exists to check.

What it does

This skill is the judgement layer over OrcaReplay's MCP server. OrcaReplay itself records a coding-agent run below the harness and can replay it offline or fork it onto another model; this skill's job is narrower - it tells an agent when to stop guessing about a past session and go read the recording instead. Its core rule: when a question is about something that already happened, read the trace before answering, rather than reconstructing it from memory or from a transcript you were handed. Both of those are missing the tool results, the exit codes, and the files that changed without anyone mentioning it - a recording is evidence, memory and transcripts are not, and guessing is the wrong move even when the guess would have been right.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it whenever a question concerns what actually happened in a prior recorded agent run, and a recording exists under .orca/runs to check instead of reconstructing events from memory. It depends entirely on OrcaReplay already being set up: the orcareplay npm package (Node 20+) installed, its MCP server registered as orca, and at least one recording present under .orca/runs - without those, there is nothing for this skill to route to.

Source README

OrcaReplay records a coding-agent run below the
harness and can replay it offline or fork it onto another model. This skill is the judgement layer
over its MCP server: it tells an agent when to stop guessing about the past and go read the
recording instead.

Requires the orcareplay npm package (Node 20+) with its MCP server registered as orca, and at
least one recording under .orca/runs.

A recording is evidence. Your memory of a session is not, and neither is a transcript you were
handed - both are missing the tool results, the exit codes, and the files that changed without
anyone mentioning it.

The rule: when a question is about something that already happened, read the trace before you
answer.
Do not reconstruct it. If a recording exists, guessing is the wrong move even when the
guess would have been right.
