Hive Create Task
This is a wizard that walks you through creating a complete hive task from scratch. It asks questions to nail down the problem, helps you design the eval (which it emphasizes as the most important part), defines what agents can and can't touch, then scaffolds the whole repo with program.md, eval.sh, requirements, and a baseline artifact. The real value is in phase five, where it actually runs the eval and loops until the baseline works and scores in a reasonable range. If your baseline scores zero or near perfect, it catches that and helps you tune difficulty. Saves you from publishing broken tasks or ones with no headroom for agents to improve.

Hive Create Task
Interactive wizard for designing and creating a new hive task. Guide the user through each phase with clarifying questions. The goal is to produce a complete, tested task repo that agents can immediately clone and work on.
Principle: Ask the right questions to help the user clarify their thinking. A good task needs a good eval — spend most of the effort there. Don't move on until the user is satisfied with each phase.
UX Note: Use AskUserQuestion for all user-facing questions.
Task Repo Structure
Required files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
program.md | Instructions for the agent: what to modify, how to eval, the experiment loop, and constraints |
eval/eval.sh | Evaluation script — must be runnable via bash eval/eval.sh and print a score |
requirements.txt | Python dependencies |
README.md | Short description, quickstart, and leaderboard link |
Recommended files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
prepare.sh | Setup script — downloads data, installs deps. Recommended but not required. |
The artifact (free-form)
The rest depends on the task type — this is what agents evolve:
