What it does

This skill is a fixed page template for Open Orbit, a daily digest feature. When it is selected, the agent reproduces a provided example HTML page, filling in PR, review, issue, CI and merge activity from a connected GitHub account, laid out to resemble GitHub's Notifications and PR-diff screens. It is meant to be run automatically by Orbit's scheduler rather than by typing a request directly.

Great for

  • Developers who use GitHub as their only connected service and want a daily activity summary
  • Teams testing the Open Orbit digest pipeline with GitHub data

Skip it if

  • Users who want a custom-branded report: the skill forbids applying any design system or brand tokens, so the output always looks like GitHub.
  • Anyone expecting it to work on non-GitHub sources or without a connected GitHub account, since it depends on live GitHub data.
  • Manual one-off use: the skill says it should not be triggered manually and is meant for Orbit's scheduler.

Try asking

  • “Generate today's Open Orbit GitHub briefing from my connected GitHub account”
  • “Make a GitHub digest of yesterday's PRs, review requests and CI failures”
  • “Show my pending review requests and failed checks as a daily GitHub page”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Let Orbit's scheduler invoke the skill, since the file itself asks not to be triggered manually.
  • Check the output for mock placeholder names; the skill says example names must not be treated as the real user identity.
  • Review generated activity against GitHub directly before relying on it, because the skill also allows refreshed mock values for 'today'.
