orbit: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

orbit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from schmitech/orbit. It costs 1,234 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project guidance for ORBIT, a self-hosted service that lets applications use many AI models through an OpenAI-compatible API and retrieve information from databases or vector stores.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing ORBIT, downloading a GGUF model, starting the gateway locally or with Docker, configuring it, or running its server tests.
Why use it?
It explains the project's purpose, setup profiles, ways to start the server, and how to run tests, reducing guesswork when developing or operating the toolkit.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is schmitech/orbit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on orbit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything orbit configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/remsyschmilinsky/Downloads/orbit/venv/bin/python.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

orbit CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

ORBIT (Open Retrieval-Based Inference Toolkit) is a self-hosted AI gateway for production RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). It exposes an OpenAI-compatible API that routes requests to 37+ LLM providers, performs intent-based SQL/NoSQL/vector retrieval, and includes enterprise controls (RBAC, audit logs, rate limiting, circuit breakers).

Commands

Setup

./install/setup.sh --profile default           # Basic install
./install/setup.sh --profile all               # All dependencies
./install/setup.sh --download-gguf [model]     # Download a GGUF model

Running the Server

python3 server/main.py                         # Direct launch
python3 server/main.py --config /path/to.yaml  # Custom config
./bin/orbit.sh start                           # Via shell wrapper
docker compose up -d                           # From docker/ directory

Testing

# From repo root, using the venv python:
/Users/remsyschmilinsky/Downloads/orbit/venv/bin/python -m pytest server/tests/

# Run a single test file:
/Users/remsyschmilinsky/Downloads/orbit/venv/bin/python -m pytest server/tests/test_foo.py

# Run by marker:
/Users/remsyschmilinsky/Downloads/orbit/venv/bin/python -m pytest server/tests/ -m unit

Pytest markers: unit, integration, slow. Python imports resolve from server/ — tests must be run with server/ as the working directory or the venv python from the repo root.

Linting

ruff check .        # Check all Python files
ruff check server/  # Check server code only

Config: ruff.toml — line length 120, target Python 3.11+.

Architecture

Entry Points

  • server/main.py — FastAPI app factory
  • server/inference_server.py — Server initialization, config loading, service wiring, lifespan manager

Service Layer (server/services/)

Services are initialized once via a service factory and injected via FastAPI dependency injection. Key services:

  • ChatService — message routing, streaming
  • RetrievalService — RAG and document retrieval
  • APIKeyService — authentication and quota management
  • GuardrailService — content moderation
  • CacheService — retrieval result caching
  • ChatHistoryService — conversation persistence

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
