Command definition
scaffold.mdScaffold
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.
For a new project, run (append `--channel-web-nextjs` only if the user wants Web Chat):
npx eve@latest init <name>
This creates the project, installs its dependencies, and initializes Git. Since a coding agent launched init, it prints a development handoff instead of starting the interactive terminal UI.
If the user wants a reusable extension package instead of an agent, run `npx eve@latest extension init <name>` and follow that command's next steps.
For an existing app, run `npx eve@latest init .` from its directory. This adds the agent and missing dependencies while leaving the existing Git repository and app scripts alone. If init cannot be used, install by hand with `npm install eve@latest ai zod`; manual installation does not add package scripts.

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 - /collect-intent
If the user's intent is not already clear, ask the questions one at a time, use the coding harness's prompt tools when available, and do not guess.
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 - /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.
