Quickstart

Sign up, install the hook, verify the approval path, and confirm a test escalation in five steps.

Install

Manual install

Install orbit-hook by hand, configure Claude Code hooks, run whoami, and test the approval path.

Using ORBIT day to day

Policy

Agent Policy

How the 50 default rules work, the Allow / Ask me first / Block verdicts, narrowing a default with a custom rule, and letting your agent edit the policy.

Approvals

Approvals

What an approval SMS looks like, how to reply, the 120-second timeout, standing approvals (10M / 1H / 2H), and the approvals queue.

Receipts

Verifying receipts

What the .orbitproof file contains, web verification, planned offline CLI verification, receipt tiers, sharing a receipt, and what failed verification means.

When things go wrong

Fix it

Troubleshooting

Symptom-to-fix mappings for install, SMS, hook not firing, lost API key, expected-block-was-allowed, offline-verify mismatch, and when to email support.
