Agent Development Kit (ADK)

ADK is the open-source agent development framework that lets you build, debug, and deploy reliable AI agents at enterprise scale.

LocalFlow

The core loop is deliberately small: Orbit selects one dependency-ordered task, hands it to whichever coding agent you wire in, runs tests, lint, and type checks, and only closes the task if the agent can prove the work passed. Every run produces four artifact files — structured result JSON, rubric-scored evaluation, a review recommendation, and a human-readable progress log. That paper trail is what lets you compare two agents on the same task by diffing artifacts instead of re-running demos. The harness runs locally with no API key required for the replay demo, so there is nothing to provision before you can see it work. The ceiling appears fast on non-coding tasks — Orbit is built for code-output validation and nothing else.

Specs come from each tool's own site and docs (how we test). AIDiveForge is editorially independent.
