Is your context actually yours?
The plan it took three rounds with Claude Code to settle, the file Codex left half-edited, the trade-off you decided in Cursor: each one is locked inside its own session.
Close the session, hit the usage limit, switch tools, and that context is out of reach. Next task, you explain it all again.
You are the agent's intern: copying and pasting, ferrying context, remembering where all the odd files live, while the agent gets the thinking.
Orbital takes the context out of the session and puts it back in your local folder. Any agent can pick it up at any time, with all of it intact. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor all work.
The context is yours. The intelligence is interchangeable.

Why a project agent?
You're three rounds into a design discussion with Claude Code when it stops with "You're out of usage credits." Your Codex quota is sitting right there, but Codex knows nothing about this project: the goal, the two decisions you just made, the half-edited files. You'd have to explain all of it again.
People already use several capable agents at work — for the newest model, the leftover quota, or because a particular tool is better at the job.
But each agent works inside its own session, with its own context and history. When you move between sessions or tools, you become responsible for carrying the project between them: restating goals, explaining previous decisions, locating artifacts, and checking what was left unfinished. You end up working as their intern, ferrying context between them to keep your own project moving.
Orbital changes the unit of work from the session to the project.
A project agent stays responsible for the project across tasks, sessions, and worker agents. It maintains the shared context, decides what needs to happen next, delegates when useful, and records every outcome back into the project.
Individual agents complete tasks. Orbital keeps the project moving.
What it means to own the project
Orbital maintains five things that normally disappear or fragment between agent sessions — all of them as plain files in your project folder:
