Intelligence Toggles
Several Orbit features fire background AI calls automatically: enriching completion notes, updating reference docs, running drift checks. Intelligence Toggles give you a switch for each category. When a toggle is off, the corresponding call is fully skipped — no API request is made and no usage is recorded.
What each toggle controls
Section titled “What each toggle controls”The toggles live at Settings → Intelligence → Automatic summaries & updates.
- Code-impact pre-checks — before a prompt runs, Orbit can assess which parts of the codebase are likely affected. Turning this off skips that pre-flight call.
- Completion-note enrichment — after a prompt ships, Orbit can expand the raw completion notes with additional context. Off means notes are written as-is.
- Reference-doc auto-updates — after a feature ships, Orbit can update the living reference document automatically. Off leaves reference docs untouched until you update them manually.
- Handoff and profile updates — Orbit can update the project handoff document and AI_README profile after significant changes. Off skips those updates.
- Daily narrative and patterns — Orbit can generate a daily summary of development patterns and velocity. Off stops the daily generation call.
- CLAUDE.md drift checks — Orbit can periodically compare the current CLAUDE.md against recent behavior and flag divergence. Off disables those checks.
Saving state
Section titled “Saving state”Each toggle shows a “Saving…” indicator while the change is being persisted to the server. The server-side short-circuit activates immediately on save — there is no lag between toggling and the call being suppressed.
Prompt review
Section titled “Prompt review”A read-only Prompt review row in the same section surfaces the existing review gate controlled by Settings → Workflow. This is the highest-volume background spender and is configured through the Model Tiers UI rather than toggled here. A BYOK cost note appears alongside it to remind you that own-key users are billed by their provider for every review call.
