Queue & Approve a Prompt

This is the core loop. Everything else in Orbit is a variation on it.

Steps

Section titled “Steps”
  1. Open the Pipeline panel and click New Prompt, or press Shift+N.
  2. Choose the project. Each project has its own queue and its own numbering.
  3. Write the prompt. Start with a header line and tag the complexity: 
    [Orbit] #NNNN — Short description of the change
    complexity: medium
    The number is claimed at insert, so don’t worry if it shifts.
  4. Choose Run In: Live (or Sandbox — see Run a Prompt in a Sandbox).
  5. Queue it. The prompt appears as a card in pending.
  6. Read the pre-check chips on the card — amber flags for large prompts, install commands, wide file scope, and the like. They inform; they don’t block.
  7. Click Approve. The card moves to running and streams output.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • For low-complexity, routine work, the dashboard approval is the only gate you need.
  • Add explicit failure conditions to the body so the agent knows what “done” means.
  • Put the feature most likely to be skipped first in a multi-part prompt.
