Orb
A multi-profile messaging shell around Claude Code CLI.
What Orb Is
Orb receives messages from a platform adapter, routes them to the right profile, starts or resumes a per-thread Claude Code CLI session, and sends the result back. Orb does not replace Claude Code's runtime. It supplies routing, profile isolation, long-term recall, document search, cron execution, and approval handling around the native CLI.

Why Claude Code Native
- Claude Code already auto-discovers
CLAUDE.md, workspace skills, workspace agents, and CLI-managed memory from the current working directory. - Orb stays outside the agent runtime. It handles message routing, context assembly, profile boundaries, cron orchestration, and permission relay.
- Claude Code upgrades land without a prompt-stack migration inside Orb.
- The worker process talks to Claude Code over native
stream-json, so Orb can reuse sessions for follow-up turns in the same thread instead of rebuilding an agent loop of its own.
Features
- Multi-profile isolation with separate
scripts/,workspace/, anddata/directories per profile. - Slack Socket Mode adapter for production use. The
PlatformAdapterabstraction stays, but Orb ships a single Slack instance; alternative platforms would require a custom adapter. - Holographic long-term memory in local SQLite for fact extraction, trust scoring, decay controls, and write-time arbitration.
- DocStore full-text search in local SQLite FTS5, with project slug inference from the thread and registry-driven path mapping.
- Cron scheduling with per-profile
cron-jobs.json, fire-and-forget workers, and per-job inflight guards. - MCP permission relay that can surface Claude Code approval
