What color-orb does

This plugin renders a visual orb directly on the canvas. When you ask the agent to change the color, it updates the graphic and logs each step live. The workflow relies on real-time event updates and direct visual feedback.

It serves as an interactive demonstration for agent actions. You get a clear way to see how the assistant processes commands and emits events. If you do not need visual testing components in your workspace, you can safely skip it.

What it helps with

Display real-time visual feedback for agent recolor requests
Show a live activity log on the canvas
Test agent actions and event handling visually

Example prompts for the agent

Recolor the orb to purple
Change the orb color to green and show the activity log
