description: Build durable backend AI agents with the eve framework. Use when creating, editing, or debugging an eve project — agent instructions, skills, tools, connections, channels, sandboxes, subagents, schedules, or evals.

eve

eve is a filesystem-first framework for durable backend AI agents. An agent is a directory on disk — instructions, skills, tools, connections, channels, subagents, and schedules are all files — and eve compiles and runs it.

Source of truth

The complete documentation ships inside the `eve` package. Do not rely on this skill for guidance — always read the bundled docs, which match the installed version exactly:

node_modules/eve/docs/

Start with `node_modules/eve/docs/README.md`. It contains the full index and recommended reading order. Before writing any eve code, read the relevant guide there first.

If `eve` is not installed yet, install it (`npm install eve`) or scaffold a new agent with `npx eve init <agent-name>`, then read the bundled docs.
