## Description

Orkas is an open-source, local-first desktop AI workforce. A Commander turns goals into executable plans and coordinates specialist agents in parallel or sequence through one chat. It is a desktop application, not a browser-only utility or hosted MCP runtime. Conversations, files, agent configuration and model keys stay local; external model or service calls may send task data to the selected provider. The open-source core uses user-selected providers or compatible local model endpoints; optional hosted services may have separate costs. Submitted on behalf of the project with AI assistance.
