Choosing a Plugin

OrchestKit ships as three plugins. Both orkl and ork include all 37 agents and 87 hooks. The difference is skill coverage.

Quick Decision

Do you use Python, React, LLM/RAG, or LangGraph?
  │
  ├─ YES ──▶ Install ork (67 skills, full specialized)
  │
  └─ NO ───▶ Install orkl (46 skills, universal toolkit)
              └─ Need video production? Add ork-creative (2 skills)

Install

# Universal — works for any stack
claude install orchestkit/orkl

# Video production add-on
claude install orchestkit/ork-creative

# Full — includes Python, React, LLM/RAG specializations
claude install orchestkit/ork

You can switch at any time. Installing ork over orkl is non-destructive — it adds skills, never removes.

Recommendation

Start with orkl if you're unsure. It covers all workflows, security, memory, and CI/CD. Upgrade to ork when you need deep Python, React, or AI/LLM expertise.

Add ork-creative if you need video production — demo recording, Remotion compositions, storyboarding, and content creation tools.

Start with ork if you're building with FastAPI, React/Next.js, or LLM-powered applications. The extra 17 skills give agents significantly deeper knowledge in these domains.
