Getting Started

Ready to orbit your ideas? Follow these simple steps to launch your first project.

1. Describe Your Vision

Use the Unified Input to describe the feature or application you want to build. Orbit understands context, architectural patterns, and design requirements.

2. Watch the Plan

Orbit analyzes your request, selects the right capability (chat, research, or build), and plans the work before any code is written.

3. Real-Time Execution

As Orbit generates code, you'll see the Live Preview update instantly. The integrated terminal shows you exactly what's happening under the hood inside the cloud sandbox.

4. Refine with Skills

Use slash commands like /audit or /polish to let specialized agents review and enhance your work.

5. Share and Publish

Once satisfied, open a shareable preview or publish your work to the web. Fullstack apps ship with their own Supabase schema for live data and auth.

What Happens Under the Hood

Between your first prompt and the live preview, Orbit runs a deterministic pipeline. First, the planner decomposes your request into user stories and data models. Next, the generator scaffolds the project, writes components, and wires Supabase tables, auth, storage, and edge functions where needed. A verification stage then type-checks the build, resolves broken imports through the AST recovery engine, and runs a design audit against Orbit's design rules. Only when every gate passes is the preview unlocked, so the code you see is code that already compiles.

Pro Tips for Better Results

Be specific about the stack, the screens, and the data. Instead of "build a todo app," try "build a todo app with projects, due dates, and a drag-and-drop kanban board using Supabase for storage." Mention the mood or audience of the design. Ask for a research pass first when you are exploring a new domain, and use /audit before you publish to catch accessibility and performance issues. Finally, reuse a previous build by forking the prompt — Orbit remembers your project context, so iteration gets faster with every message.
