GoKawiilOrbital launches as open-source layer letting Claude Code, Codex and Cursor share one project context
A new open-source tool called Orbital stores an AI coding project's context—goals, decisions, and in-progress files—locally rather than inside a single agent's session. This lets developers switch between tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor mid-task without re-explaining prior work, and setup takes under five minutes using an existing API key.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Developers increasingly juggle multiple AI coding agents to work around usage limits or leverage different strengths, but each tool traditionally locks context inside its own session, forcing users to manually re-explain progress. By moving context ownership to the user's local folder, Orbital could reduce this repetitive overhead and make AI coding tools more interchangeable rather than tying workflows to one vendor.
- Orbital is an open-source tool that externalizes AI coding project context from any single agent's session.
- It enables switching between Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor mid-task without restating goals or decisions.
- Setup requires no Python or Node, just an existing API key, and takes under five minutes.
