ORBIT v0.1 · ADOPTER GUIDE
Adopt one planning loop.
Start with one meaningful outcome. Keep intent durable, observe the project, reconcile the evidence, and hand an executor one bounded change.
QUICK START · 15 MINUTES
Move one outcome through the loop.
- Choose an outcome.State the durable result in plain language.
- Create a Plan.Add stable outcome and acceptance-criterion IDs.
- Capture a Project Snapshot.Record only the repository facts relevant to that Plan.
- Reconcile.Assess each criterion with evidence, including unknowns and changes.
- Create one Execution Slice.Define the smallest justified change with explicit exclusions.
- Execute and observe again.Use the executor you already have, then capture the resulting state.
THE FOUR RECORDS
Keep the contracts portable.
ORBIT defines four records. Store them in a repository, database, or another system that preserves their identity and references.
EXECUTION BOUNDARY
Keep provider mechanics outside ORBIT.
ORBIT stops at the portable Execution Slice. Your local policy decides whether it becomes a GitHub issue, branch, agent run, CI workflow, or direct developer handoff.
RECOMMENDED FIRST POLICY
Require human approval for the first slice.
Human approval is a practical adoption choice. It is outside the ORBIT core and can change as confidence grows.
Plans and Outcomes are durable. Slices, tickets, and jobs are derived work.
