Claude Code and Orbit
Build an app with Claude Code, backend included
Connect Orbit, and Claude Code builds the whole thing: screens, data, logic, launch. Not another repo you still have to host.
Your Claude subscription does the AI work.
Asset needed

Every tutorial ends at the hard part
The guides say build the app, and they mean the code. Then come the steps they hurry past: wire a backend, pick a host, keep it alive. The demo was the easy half.
Build an app with Claude Code in three steps
Install the skill
One command puts the Orbit skill into Claude Code. Done once, kept forever.
$ orbit setup claude
Say what you want
Claude Code creates the app on Orbit: screens, data, logic, all in one place it can read back.
Launch from the chat
Ask it to deploy, and the app goes live on a real backend with sign-in and saved data.
Questions, answered
Do I need the Orbit CLI for this?
Yes, once. The CLI installs the skill with orbit setup claude; after that you stay in Claude Code.
Does Orbit charge for Claude's work?
No. Your Claude subscription does the AI work, and Orbit charges nothing for it.
Can I use claude.ai instead of Claude Code?
Yes. Orbit is also an MCP connector, so Claude on the web can drive the same builds.
Where does the app run?
On Orbit, with a real Postgres backend, sign-in, and your own domain. Your first live app is free.
What is left for me to do?
Judge the result. You review the screens and the data, rename what reads wrong, and decide when it ships.
Finish the app, not the setup
The next thing you build with Claude Code can be live by the end of the conversation.
