1. What should the agent do? This becomes its always-on purpose. 2. Where should it be reachable? Every agent ships the built-in HTTP channel. On top of that:
- **Web Chat** (a Next.js app): add it at init with `--channel-web-nextjs`.
- **Slack** and other platforms: add after deploy with `eve add channel/slack`.
Credentials run through **Vercel Connect**, which provisions the bot token and verifies inbound webhooks, so there is no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or signing secret to manage. 3. Which external systems does it need programmatic read/write access to, such as Slack, Salesforce, Linear, GitHub, or your own API? Each becomes a connection under `agent/connections/`. When a system needs every end-user to sign in, wire its auth through **Vercel Connect** (`connect()` from `@vercel/connect/eve`), which handles consent, encrypted token storage, and refresh.

Other commands on eve.
- /build-and-verify
Work from the project directory. Once eve is installed, the full docs are bundled with the installed package and match its version exactly. In most installs, they are at `node_modules/eve/docs/`. In workspaces or local package installs, resolve the installed `eve` package
Open command - /intro-handoff
The project at `{{workingDirectory}}` is already scaffolded. Work with the user to complete it, running the commands below from that directory.
Open command - /intro-setup
eve is a filesystem-first framework for durable backend AI agents. The agent is a directory of files that eve compiles and runs: its instructions, tools, connections, and channels. Work through this with the user.
Open command - /scaffold
First settle the target: a new project, or the agent added to an existing directory? For a new project, propose a name and ask the user to confirm it; for an existing one, ask for the directory.
Open command - /vercel-connect
Reach for Vercel Connect for both channels and connections rather than hand-managing tokens. It is the path to a working setup out of the box. See https://vercel.com/docs/connect.
