OpenOrbit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/run-openorbit/SKILL.md

run-openorbit is a skill for Claude Code from maneja81/OpenOrbit. It costs 48 tokens per session (3,698 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A workflow for building and testing OpenOrbit, an Electron desktop app. Electron is a technology for making desktop applications with web technologies; the workflow also drives the app through its user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch OpenOrbit, reset its test data, interact with its interface, take screenshots, and confirm that changes work in the real app.
Why use it?
It lets you verify changes in the running application while keeping test data and saved settings in a separate temporary user-data directory.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is maneja81/OpenOrbit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on OpenOrbit 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 OpenOrbit configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is rm -rf node_modules/electron/dist node_modules/electron/path.txt && node node_modules/electron/install.js.

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 C, and why

run-openorbit scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (driver.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenOrbit is an Electron desktop app. Drive it through the Playwright REPL at .claude/skills/run-openorbit/driver.mjs. Launch takes ~5s, so the REPL beats relaunching per interaction.

Paths below are relative to the repo root. On macOS no xvfb is needed; on headless Linux prefix with xvfb-run -a.

Read this first — the sandbox is not optional

app.getPath("userData") resolves to ~/Library/Application Support/OpenOrbit from every checkout and every git worktree. There is no per-branch data directory. Launching the app to try something out therefore writes into the developer's real database: settings, chat history, agents, and encrypted API keys.

The driver always passes --user-data-dir and aborts the launch if app.getPath("userData") doesn't land inside the sandbox. Don't remove that check, and don't launch the app by hand from a worktree to "just have a look".

Sandbox defaults to /tmp/orbit-run/userdata — override with ORBIT_USER_DATA. Because it starts empty, the first launch is a genuine fresh install: onboarding, empty database. That is usually what you want for testing defaults; reset gets you back to it.

Build

npm install          # once per worktree — node_modules is not shared
npm run build        # main is dist-electron/main/index.js; the driver checks it exists

⚠ Check the Electron binary after installing — the install lies. npm ci / npm install in a fresh worktree regularly exits 0 having left no usable Electron. Two variants seen: the binary missing entirely (dist and path.txt both absent), and a half-extracted app (failed to create directory …/Electron.app/Contents/Resources/kn.lproj: File exists). The driver then can't launch, and vitest quietly loses electron/main/ai/agents.test.ts — 45 tests.

ls node_modules/electron/path.txt node_modules/electron/dist    # both must exist
# repair:
rm -rf node_modules/electron/dist node_modules/electron/path.txt && node node_modules/electron/install.js

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

run-openorbit is a skill published in the GitHub repository maneja81/OpenOrbit (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 3,698 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
