## Description

Orbi is an open-source automation platform for GitHub that handles the entire software delivery pipeline from issue to release. When you tag an issue with `ai-ready`, the system picks it up, writes the implementation in a separate worktree, runs the test suite, and opens a pull request. A second AI session then reviews the changes, makes corrections, and re-runs tests until everything passes. Only the reviewed version can be merged. Release management is also automated — a specially labeled issue triggers version bumping, tagging, and release note generation. All state lives in GitHub itself (issues, labels, comments, PRs) with no external database or queue. The tool runs on Linux and macOS using a systemd or launchd timer that fires every five minutes. Requirements include Python 3.14+, Node 22.19+, git, the GitHub CLI, and uv. You supply your own language model through any OpenAI-compatible endpoint or a local llama.cpp server. The self-hosted version is free under a dual license (AGPL-3.0 or Sustainable Use License), while a managed cloud offering provides a free trial and paid tiers.
