The run view is the operator's terminal screen for runs of implement-spec-in-workflow on the session runner (ADR-0012, ADR-0017). This skill serves Orca-hosted runs: those whose session host is Orca. A crew-hosted run — crew being the default session host — is not this skill's: the operator lists those with crew ls and opens one in the run console with crew view; point them there and stop. On Orca the runner shows it attached, in its own tab, on its own run. This skill opens it standalone: every run in the run registry (~/.claude/orca-runs.jsonl, or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/orca-runs.jsonl when that is set), finished, paused or dead, with no runner needed.

The view is code of the crew package, not of this skill: one copy, beside the runner that also starts it, reached through the crew bin.

Requires Node, crew installed (npm install -g @javrasya/crew, or from a checkout of javrasya/crew npm install -g <crew checkout>), and a session inside an Orca terminal (TERM_PROGRAM is Orca). On its first start the view installs its one dependency, terminal-kit, beside itself with npm ci, which needs npm and the network once.

Steps

  1. Open it in a new Orca tab:

    orca terminal create --title "Orca runs" --command "crew view --standalone" --focus --json
    

    If the command fails, or result.terminal.surface is not visible, tell the operator the view has no visible tab, and stop. Outside Orca, say the view needs an Orca terminal, and stop.

  2. Hand it over. The operator works the view themselves; do not read its tab. Tell them its keys:
