New here? Follow the four steps to create your first ORB. Or choose Try an example.

Create and submit your first ORB

  1. Explore a topic. Copy the ORB prompt into your AI chat, then type /orb your topic. Follow questions and check sources.
  2. Create the file. In ORB Share, copy the authoring brief into that same chat. Ask for your exploration as an ORB File 1 named your-topic.orb.txt. No HTML or plugin installation is needed.
  3. Preview and save. Open the AI’s file in ORB Share. If it gives you text instead, copy the JSON inside its code block, choose Paste text → Check & open, then Save ORB file. If there are errors, copy them back to your AI and ask it to fix the file.
  4. Submit for review. Choose Prepare submission, check your title and public creator credit, then continue to GitHub. Sign in or create a GitHub account, attach the saved .orb.txt to the issue description, and submit. Keep the issue link as your receipt. Previewing does not upload the file or publish it.

Explore the subject first. Ask for deeper explanations, useful connections and evidence, then use this brief to package the result. The reader handles the website.

Ready for step 2? Copy this brief into the AI chat where you explored your topic. It includes the required file structure.
