Orbit is a local-first collaboration workspace for coordinating multiple CLI-backed digital employees across isolated workspaces and conversations.

Install a release package that matches your operating system:

npm install -g .\orbit-<version>-windows-x64.tgz

After public npm publishing is ready, install the scoped package instead:

npm install -g @kevinforge/orbit

You can also run Orbit from a source checkout:

npm ci
npm run build
npm run dev

Do not run npm install -g orbit against the public npm registry. That package name is owned by an unrelated project and can fail at startup with ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED for uuid/v1.

orbit

Open http://localhost:4317.

Orbit coordinates CLI-backed digital employees. The digital employees require at least one supported runtime CLI:

• Five built-in digital employee templates: product manager (pm), architect, developer, tester, and supervisor
• Custom digital employee creation and configuration via UI
• Per-employee permissions for file access, commands, dependency installs, and git operations
• Workspace templates for blank or multi-employee collaboration setups
• Multiple conversations with background execution and visible running employees
• Explicit assignments, handoffs, and per-employee run queues
• Collaboration Insights for task outcomes, employee collaboration, execution timelines, and duration trends
• Markdown rendering for employee replies
• Session persistence across runs
