What does Orbitant Graceful Degradation do?

It checks the status of your connected tools (MCP servers) and configuration files before running a command to ensure your AI workflows have the data they need.

Does it work in Cowork sessions?

Yes, it detects Cowork environments and automatically adapts by skipping filesystem checks and looking for configuration data within the conversation context.

Which tools does it monitor?

It currently probes Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, and Asana MCP servers, alongside configuration files like rocks.yaml, voice.md, and constraints.yaml.

Does it stop commands if a server is down?

No, it follows a 'never hard-fail' rule, allowing commands to proceed with whatever data is currently available while notifying you of what is missing.

How do I fix a missing dependency identified by the skill?

The skill provides specific remediation instructions in the report, including the exact terminal commands needed to add missing MCP servers or file paths for missing configs.
