Context injection
Apollo's automatic insertion of live Orbit state (queue, server status, recent completions, etc.) into every conversation turn before the AI sees it.
What it is
Every time you send a message to Apollo, Orbit assembles current state — queue contents, what's running, server health, recent completions, sandbox state — and injects it into the prompt. This means Apollo never has to ask "what's running?" or "what was the last prompt?" — it already knows. Context is timestamped so Apollo can note staleness on long conversations.
When you would use it
This happens automatically on every Apollo message. You see its effect when Apollo references something you didn't tell it about (because it was injected from live state).
Common operations
- Apollo answering status questions instantly without tool calls
- Apollo making informed decisions about next steps based on current state
