Hugging Face Spaces
Orbit acts as a harness around any JSON-speaking coding agent — Claude, Codex, Cursor, or others — running one task per cycle, executing tests and lint checks to decide whether the work advances, and writing structured JSON artifacts for every run. The dependency-aware backlog keeps each task bounded so agents do not drift across scope. Where it breaks: Orbit is intentionally minimal, so teams expecting a hosted dashboard, a GUI, or built-in agent adapters beyond CLI-level integration will build those layers themselves. The artifact trail is machine-readable JSON and a markdown log — useful for audits, not for a non-technical stakeholder who needs a summary.

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.
