Eve

This skill helps Claude work with the eve framework, which treats AI agents as directories on your filesystem. Instructions, tools, connections, and schedules all live as files that eve compiles and runs. The skill is lean by design: it points Claude to the actual documentation bundled in node_modules/eve/docs rather than duplicating it, which means you always get guidance that matches your installed version. Use this when scaffolding new eve agents or modifying existing ones. The filesystem-first approach is refreshingly concrete if you're tired of configuration living in databases or APIs, though it does mean eve needs to be installed before Claude can really help you.

Files

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.

One rule to know before reading

A defineDynamic function runs before every model call, not once per turn. Wrap every network request, database query, API call, and sandbox read inside it in ctx.memo(key, fn), or that work repeats on every model call. See node_modules/eve/docs/dynamic-configuration/index.md.
