# 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.

See `references/source-of-truth.md` for the repo-local handoff boundary.
