Hands-on: Orchestrator splits big features into PRs, Orca handles frontend work
julianweisser · x · 2026-10-06
A user shared hands-on experience running Orchestrator alongside Orca:
- Orchestrator: best for big ideas that need splitting into multiple PRs without babysitting each one; it automatically did the orchestration work previously done manually, removing the need to track individual tasks across sessions.
- Orca: best for tasks needing more oversight and for frontend UI work.
The Orchestrator team reposted, saying the product is built to be as simple as possible while giving maximum leverage for managing agents, and that they are happy to see power users leverage it effectively.
