Orquer

Orquer organizes terminals into workspaces, tabs, and panes, and provides an event-driven message bus (orquer msg) for deterministic, zero-polling inter-agent communication.

Before issuing any control command, verify that this agent is running inside an Orquer-managed pane:

test "${ORQUER_ENV:-}" = 1

If the check fails, report that you are not running inside Orquer and stop.

Core Capabilities

  1. Topology & Pane Management: Workspaces, tabs, and split panes (orquer workspace, orquer tab, orquer pane).
  2. Explicit Messaging Bus: Structured mailbox communication with blocking RPC questions (orquer msg).

CLI Discovery

The installed binary is the authority for command syntax. Check available commands:

orquer --help
orquer msg --help
orquer pane --help
orquer workspace --help

Caller Context

Orquer automatically injects environment variables into each managed pane:

printf '%s\n' "$ORQUER_WORKSPACE_ID" "$ORQUER_TAB_ID" "$ORQUER_PANE_ID"

Use ORQUER_PANE_ID as your local identity handle when communicating through orquer msg.
