About

Orbi is a self-hosted or cloud-based coding agent that automates the path from GitHub Issue to tagged release. You label an Issue as ai-ready, Orbi writes the code in an isolated worktree, a separate AI session reviews the pull request against your acceptance criteria and fixes what fails, then the reviewed commit merges and the release tags automatically. The entire delivery chain stays in GitHub; nothing moves to a second workspace.

Orbi runs on your own machine for free under AGPL-3.0 or the Sustainable Use License, or you can use Orbi Cloud, a hosted service that runs the same workflow on infrastructure Orbi operates. Releases never ship automatically; you open a release Issue with the ai-release label to freeze the SHA, cut the tag, and publish the GitHub Release. Your repository's CI gates the acceptance test, so what you put in your GitHub Actions checks is what Orbi guarantees.

Orbi itself ships by this method: 834 pull requests merged on its own repository, 138 releases shipped, all records public and inspectable on GitHub. You get 3 free deliveries on Orbi Cloud with no credit card, and self-hosting is free forever.

Orbi's independent review session can repair code and rerun tests before merge, not just approve or reject. Only the reviewed commit lands. Releases require human action; they never ship on a schedule. The entire delivery record stays in GitHub as Issues, pull requests, and tags, with no second workspace or approval tool.

Problem: Shipping code from GitHub Issues to releases requires manual steps: writing code, reviewing it, merging, tagging, and publishing. Each step needs supervision and coordination across tools.
Solution: Orbi automates the full chain from Issue label to tagged release. An AI writes code, a separate AI reviews and repairs it, the reviewed commit merges, and the release tags. You only open a release Issue to start the flow.
