Orbital: The Open-Source Project Agent That Keeps Your Context Out of Any Single AI Session

Orbital is an open-source project agent that turns your context into durable local files, so any AI worker — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI — can pick up a task without you re-explaining goals, decisions, or half-edited files. It maintains state, decisions, lessons, a task queue with enforced completion, and artifacts as plain files in your project folder. When you hit a usage limit or switch tools, the project continues; the worker is replaceable.

Orbital changes the unit of work from the session to the project.
