orbit

orbit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from epicsagas/plugins. It costs 58 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An automated software delivery workflow that moves a feature from written requirements through implementation, review, and release preparation. It includes TDD, meaning tests are written before the code that makes them pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an approved specification, implement the feature with tests, audit the result, and prepare it to ship.
Why use it?
It organizes several development steps into one repeatable process and checks requirements, code quality, security, and test coverage along the way.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autonomous software delivery pipeline: spec → go → audit → ship. One command takes a feature from idea to PR.

Usage

/orbit <feature description>

Pipeline phases

Phase 1 — Spec

Write a numbered requirements + acceptance criteria document.

  1. Use harness_mem_recall to surface relevant past decisions and patterns
  2. Analyze the codebase to understand current architecture
  3. Produce a SPEC.md with numbered requirements (REQ-1, REQ-2, …) and acceptance criteria (AC-1.1, …)
  4. Present spec to user for approval before proceeding

Phase 2 — Go

Implement the approved spec via TDD.

  1. For each requirement, write a failing test first
  2. Implement minimum code to pass the test
  3. Run tests after each change — no progress without green tests
  4. Use harness_mem_add to record key decisions made during implementation

Phase 3 — Audit

Parallel review across 3 dimensions.

  1. Code quality — unused imports, dead code, naming, complexity
  2. Security — input validation, auth checks, secret exposure
  3. Test coverage — missing edge cases, uncovered error paths
  4. Output PASS / WARN / FAIL per dimension
  5. Fix all FAIL items, address WARN items if trivial

Phase 4 — Ship

Create PR and verify CI passes.

  1. Create a feature branch if not already on one
  2. Commit all changes with conventional commit messages
  3. Push branch and create PR with spec summary
  4. Monitor CI — if it fails, fix and re-push
  5. Report final status

Decision: which phases to run

User request Phases
"orbit" or "full pipeline" All 4 phases
"just spec it" Phase 1 only
"implement this spec" Phase 2–4
"audit and ship" Phase 3–4

Error handling

Situation Action
Spec rejected by user Revise spec, do not proceed to Go
Tests failing after 3 attempts Stop, report to user, ask for guidance
Audit finds security FAIL Must fix before shipping
CI fails Auto-fix once, then report to user

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.
