Your Autonomous Multi-Agent AI Orchestrator for VS Code
OrcA is an advanced, autonomous multi-agent orchestration framework directly integrated into your VS Code editor. Instead of talking to a single LLM, OrcA deploys a robust hierarchical network: an intelligent Manager that autonomously breaks down your complex tasks and dynamically delegates sub-tasks to specialized Sub-Agents, aggregating their results into a cohesive final output.
Features
🧠 Autonomous Task Delegation: OrcA interprets your goals and automatically delegates work to the best models using the underlying orca-delegate protocol.
🔄 Multi-Turn Context Memory: Agents maintain shared persistent memory, allowing them to collaborate efficiently on long tasks.
🌩️ Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK): Native support for all major LLM providers:
Google Gemini (gemini-1.5-pro, gemini-1.5-flash)
Anthropic Claude (claude-3.5-sonnet, claude-3-opus)
OpenAI (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini)
Groq (Blazing fast Llama models)
Mistral AI
DeepSeek
🏠 Local First: Built-in, deep integration with Ollama. Download and run powerful models locally on your GPU for massive zero-cost orchestration.
🔌 VS Code Native (Copilot) Support: If you subscribe to GitHub Copilot, you can natively orchestrate models like gpt-4o and claude-3.5-sonnet completely free of API charges by enabling the "VS Code Native" provider.
🛡️ Quota Fallback Engine: If your API key runs out of credits or hits rate limits, the Orchestrator instantly falls back to cheaper/free models without interrupting your workflow.
🎨 Beautiful Multi-Chat UI: A dedicated sidebar to visualize the main Manager thread and inspect individual sub-agent workflows in isolated tabs.
Quick Start
Open the OrcA Sidebar by clicking the OrcA icon in the VS Code Activity Bar.
Provide your API keys in the Settings panel or turn on VS Code Native if you have Copilot.
Select your Manager model.
Type your prompt in the chat box or use Ctrl+Shift+P -> OrcA: Start Orchestration.
Watch the Manager autonomously write plans and delegate tasks to the available sub-agents!
Security
OrcA securely saves your API keys locally using VS Code's robust built-in configurations. Your keys never leave your machine except to authenticate with your chosen AI providers directly.
