Workbench & Prototypes

Tools and shared foundations in active development

Where experimental tools, internal libraries, and UI foundations are built and tested before earning standalone release.

Local-First Tooling

BuildQrew: Governed coding LLM orchestration

A clean-slate local-first extension coordinating specialist coding LLMs under strict repository governance. BuildQrew tracks materials, tasks, and revisable completion without intercepting or controlling chat interfaces.

  • Local-first architecture reading directly from .buildqrew/buildqrew.json
  • Zero telemetry, analytics, remote servers, or simulated keyboard input
  • Live board view tracking workstreams, slices, blockers, and progress
Conversational Intelligence

Dialogue: Headless conversational turn engine

Feature visual

The conversational intelligence foundation driving studio interfaces. Dialogue exposes a headless turn runner and turnkey React chat panel, handling streaming tokens, reasoning traces, retries, and workspace memory without bundling heavy runtime dependencies.

  • Streaming provider transports for Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI with abort cancellation
  • Headless TurnRunner managing reasoning traces, tool rounds, and artifacts
  • Turnkey React chat panel with persistent conversation storage and workspace memory
Design Infrastructure

@orbitalsoftworks/ui: Shared component system

Feature visual

The design system powering Qanvas, BuildQrew, and Dialogue. Compiled with a standalone token and recipe CLI, it pairs typed component primitives with strict layout-enforcing ESLint rules that guard against broken DOM hierarchies and runtime errors.

  • 50+ primitives across Actions, Forms, Overlays, Layout, and Navigation
  • Zero Tailwind runtime, reading purely from semantic --orbital-* CSS variables
  • Layout-enforcing ESLint flat config flagging invalid compound parts
