Add an actual MCP-registration prerequisite
On a fresh Claude plugin installation, installing the orca executable does not register its MCP server, and this commit adds no .mcp.json or setup wiring anywhere in the repository. Consequently, the subsequent orca_show_run, orca_graph, orca_replay, and comparison tool calls are unavailable even after this prerequisite succeeds; provide a concrete MCP registration/reload step or ship the server configuration with the plugin.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Require consent before installing the global package
When orca is absent, this prerequisite directs the skill to install a third-party npm package globally even if the user only asked a forensics question. In the repository's bypass-permissions configuration, that can modify the user's global environment and execute package lifecycle scripts without a separate dependency or side-effect approval; detect the missing dependency and request explicit installation consent instead.

Keep Node replays out of the live worktree
For Node projects this instruction explicitly recommends replaying in place, even though the protocol immediately above states that replay restores the recorded tree over the working tree and can leave uncommitted work absent if interrupted. Since Node projects are common and dependencies can instead be installed or linked inside the scratch worktree, this fallback exposes users to destructive workspace changes and should retain isolation rather than switching to the live checkout.

Publish the new shared skill to client mirrors
This adds the skill only to the shared skills/ tree, while Codex installations consume codex/.codex/skills/ and OpenCode setup copies opencode/skills/; a repository-wide search confirms that neither mirror contains agent-run-forensics. As a result, the feature is absent for those clients, and scripts/sync-skill-mirrors.sh --check already reports the OpenCode generated skill set as drifted, so the corresponding committed mirrors need to be generated and included.

projects” guidance in SKILL.md to preserve the scratch worktree rule: provision
dependencies such as node_modules in the scratch worktree, or use a disposable
container or clone when dependencies are unavailable.

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Orca Replay (often referred to as orca-replay or orca_replay) is a specialized tool designed to record, inspect, and replay AI agent executions [1][2]. It is implemented as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI assistants (such as Claude or Cursor) to interact with past agent runs to debug behavior, reproduce failures, and investigate decision-making [1][2]. Key technical aspects include: Core Functionality The tool allows users to answer questions about past agent runs by replaying them from recorded traces rather than relying on memory [1][2]. It supports re-running or forking runs to test different models or environment conditions [1][2]. Recordings are typically stored in the project directory under.orca/runs [1]. Network Isolation and Replay Mechanics When performing a replay, the tool executes the agent process again to ensure faithful reproduction of shell commands and logic, while serving model responses from the recorded trace [2]. Replay is designed to be free and repeatable [1][2]. It specifically includes a mechanism to re-run recordings with network access blocked to identify divergences or requests that the recording cannot satisfy [1][2]. This process helps verify whether a failure was deterministic or caused by external factors [1][2]. The worktree: true argument can be used during replay to isolate file system changes to a scratch copy, leaving the original working tree unmodified [2]. Security Context It is important to distinguish this tool from general MCP security projects, such as mcp-re, which focus on protecting MCP calls through signatures, mTLS, and replay protection (preventing malicious replay attacks) [3]. Orca Replay is intended for developer debugging and observational purposes, whereas MCP security frameworks like mcp-re are designed to secure the transport and execution of MCP-based agents against external threats [3]. Users should be aware of unrelated software, such as the orca_replayer used in Solana blockchain development, which is distinct from this MCP-based agent replay tool [4]. For official or authoritative documentation, users should consult the MCP servers directory (mcpservers.org) or the specific repository maintained by the tool's author [5][1][2].

Node プロジェクトでも作業ツリー内でリプレイしないでください。
この例外は、Line 54 の scratch worktree 規則を破ります。リプレイが記録済みのファイルツリーを復元すると、未コミット変更を失う可能性があります。node_modules がない場合は、scratch worktree に依存関係を用意するか、使い捨てのコンテナまたはクローンを使用してください。
修正案
- - **Node projects.** A scratch worktree is built from tracked files, so `node_modules` is absent and the run fails to start; replay in place for those.
+ - **Node projects.** Keep replay isolated. Install dependencies in the scratch worktree or use a disposable container. Never replay in the working tree.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Adds one skill directory:
skills/agent-run-forensics/SKILL.md. Nothing else is touched.What it does
Answers questions about an agent run that already happened from its recording rather than from the agent's memory of it — which step changed a file, why a command ran, where the build broke — and replays that run offline.
The problem is specific. Asked "why did you change this file?", an agent answers from a summary of its own context window, where the tool results, the shell exit codes and the files that changed without anyone mentioning them are already gone. The answer comes out fluent, confident, and occasionally wrong — which is worse than "I don't know", because it gets believed and then written into a commit message.
So the skill enforces one rule — when the question is about something that already happened, read the trace before answering — and one distinction that is easy to state and easy to lose:
A second use: a failed session becomes a file a colleague can re-run without your key and without spending tokens, and the same file works as a regression test that costs nothing in CI.
Safety boundaries, in the skill body rather than the docs
reused=3/5is usually not a partial failure: harnesses make calls for themselves (a quota probe, a session-naming request) and a replay does not repeat them. That one costs people twenty minutes of debugging a non-problem.Dependency and disclosure
The skill drives an MCP server exposed by
orcareplay(Apache-2.0, npm, Node 20+), which I maintain — so it is vendor-authored and worth weighing as such.npm i -g orcareplay, then register{"command": "orca", "args": ["mcp"]}. It does nothing until the user has recorded a run; with no recordings the server returns an empty list rather than erroring, so it is inert rather than broken.The skill has an explicit "if there is no recording" branch that says so plainly instead of falling back to reconstructing the session from memory — which is the failure it exists to replace.
Frontmatter has
name(matching the directory) and adescriptionwell over the minimum length, written around when to trigger. SingleSKILL.md, no scripts or assets, since the tooling is the MCP server. Happy to adjust the wording or placement.Summary by CodeRabbit
