Automating Orbit with AI Agents
Orbit Skills are an official, open-source collection of Agent Skills that let an AI coding agent carry out real Orbit tasks against the Orbit API on your behalf. You describe what you want in plain language — for example, "generate a delivery note for this tour and attach it" or "set up a same-day courier product for a fixed price" — and the agent drives the API for you.
The skills are maintained by Orbit and hosted publicly at github.com/orbit-logistics/orbit-skills.
What you can automate today
Document templates — design, render, attach, and version documents such as delivery notes, loading lists, shipment labels, CMR consignment notes, and invoices, generated as PDFs from your Tour, Shipment, Order, and Carrier data. See the Document Engine article for how the templates themselves work.
Products — set up, edit, or audit an Orbit Product end-to-end: its pricing, feasibility, scheduling, and context bricks, DataPools, Product Metrics, marketing copy, and test cases. See the Understanding Products & Pricing and Product Testing articles for the underlying concepts.
More skills are added over time, each covering another part of the platform.
Which agents can use them
Agent Skills are an open standard, so the same skill works across many tools — Claude Code, claude.ai, and other compatible agents such as OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. Installation instructions for each are in the repository's README. In Claude Code, for instance, you add the collection as a plugin marketplace and install the skills you want.
Staying safe
The skills always confirm whether you are working against staging or production before making any change, and never assume production.
API keys are read from your environment; they are never written into files or shared. You generate and manage keys in Orbit MissionControl under Settings.
