docs: update README for CLI integration and improve conversion (#279)
This commit completely overhauls the README to prominently feature the new Orca CLI orchestration capabilities. It also revamps the page structure for better conversion by adding trust badges, explicit cross-platform support text, a 'Quick Start' guide, and a dedicated 'Why Orca?' section. Lastly, the CONTRIBUTING.md guide was updated to encourage contributors to provide their Twitter handle for shoutouts.

Introducing the Orca CLI

Agent orchestration from your terminal.

Let your AI agent control your IDE. Programmatically add repos, spin up worktrees, and update status directly from the terminal. Ships with the Orca IDE (install under Settings).

npx skills add https://github.com/stablyai/orca --skill orca-cli

Quick Start: The First 60 Seconds

  1. Connect: Open Orca and connect your local Git repository.
  2. Isolate: Spin up a new worktree in one click (no more git stash).
  3. Automate: Open the built-in terminal, fire up your AI agent (like Claude Code), and let it work autonomously while you switch to another task.

Why Orca?

  • Zero-Friction Context Switching: Need to review an urgent PR while your agent builds a new feature? Spin up an isolated worktree instantly without messing up your local dev environment.
  • Agent Supervision: Stop babysitting terminals. Let multiple agents work autonomously across different repos while you monitor their status, logs, and unread notifications from a single dashboard.
  • Purpose-Built for AI Devs: Traditional IDEs aren't built for autonomous agents. Orca gives your AI the isolated environments, terminals, and programmatic control it needs to thrive.

Features that Supercharge your Workflow

  • Worktree Management: Spin up, manage, and switch between multiple Git worktrees instantly. Keep your context clean.
  • Agent-Ready Terminals: Robust support for multiple terminals, tabs, and panes. Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or your own agents side-by-side.
  • Smart Notifications & Status Tracking: See exactly which worktrees have active agents. Get worktree notifications and manually mark threads as unread (like Gmail ).
  • Deep GitHub Integration: Automatically track PRs, link GitHub issues (via the gh CLI), and view GitHub Actions checks right from your workspace.
  • Integrated Dev Tools: Built-in file editor, lightning-fast search, and a comprehensive source control tab to review diffs, make quick edits, and commit effortlessly.
