Eve CLI Primitives

Eve CLI Primitives

Use this skill as the command map for Eve. Keep examples short and concrete.

Profiles (API Target + Defaults)

# Create and use a profile
eve profile create staging --api-url https://api.eve.example.com
eve profile use staging

# Set defaults to avoid repeating flags
eve profile set --default-email you@example.com --default-ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
eve profile set --org org_xxx --project proj_xxx

# Inspect current profile
eve profile show

Authentication

eve auth login
eve auth status
eve auth logout
eve auth permissions

# Sync local OAuth tokens for agent harnesses (optional)
eve auth sync

# Nostr challenge (API-level, no CLI command yet)
# POST /auth/challenge {"provider": "nostr", "pubkey": "<hex>"}

Orgs and Projects

eve org list
eve org ensure my-org --slug myorg

eve project list
eve project ensure --name "My App" --slug my-app --repo-url git@github.com:me/my-app.git --branch main

# Membership management
eve org members --org org_xxx
eve org members add user@example.com --role admin --org org_xxx
eve org members remove user_abc --org org_xxx

eve project members --project proj_xxx
eve project members add user@example.com --role admin --project proj_xxx
eve project members remove user_abc --project proj_xxx

URL impact: The org --slug and project --slug directly form your deployment URLs and K8s namespaces:

• URL: {service}.{orgSlug}-{projectSlug}-{env}.{domain} (e.g., api.myorg-my-app-staging.eve.example.com)
• Namespace: eve-{orgSlug}-{projectSlug}-{env} (e.g., eve-myorg-my-app-staging)

Choose slugs carefully — they are immutable after creation.

Environments and Deploys

# Create a persistent environment
eve env create staging --project proj_xxx --type persistent

# Inspect environments
eve env list --project proj_xxx
eve env show staging --project proj_xxx

# Deploy an environment (requires --ref with 40-char SHA or a ref resolved against --repo-dir)
eve env deploy staging --ref main --repo-dir .

# When environment has a pipeline configured, the above triggers the pipeline.
# Use --direct to bypass pipeline and deploy directly:
eve env deploy staging --ref main --repo-dir . --direct

# Pass inputs to pipeline:
eve env deploy staging --ref main --repo-dir . --inputs '{"key":"value"}'

# Diagnostics
eve env diagnose proj_xxx staging
eve env diagnose proj_xxx staging --request <req_id>     # request-level integrated diagnose
eve env logs proj_xxx staging <service>
eve env logs proj_xxx staging <service> --follow         # stream logs
eve env logs proj_xxx staging <service> --filter route=/api/x --filter status=500
eve env delete proj_xxx staging

--filter k=v is repeatable; common keys: route, status, level, request_id. Use --grep for free-text matching, --since/--tail to bound the window.

Jobs (Create + Observe)

eve job create --description "Review auth flow"
eve job list --phase active
eve job show <job-id>
eve job follow <job-id>
eve job diagnose <job-id>
eve job result <job-id>

# Per-job harness + env overrides (Eden-style per-request brain selection)
eve job create --description "..." \
  --harness-override-file ./profile.json \
  --env-override OPENAI_API_KEY='${secret.OPENAI_KEY}' \
  --env-override MODEL_ENDPOINT=https://qwen.local

--harness-override-file takes a JSON object {harness, model?, reasoning_effort?, variant?, temperature?}. --env-override KEY=VALUE is repeatable, validates UPPER_SNAKE_CASE keys, and supports ${secret.KEY} interpolation resolved at spawn time.

Coordination (Supervise + Threads)

eve supervise <job-id> --timeout 60
eve thread messages <thread-id> --since 10m
eve thread post <thread-id> --body '{"kind":"directive","body":"focus on auth"}'
eve thread follow <thread-id>

Agents + Chat

# Sync agent/team/chat configuration from repo
eve agents sync --project proj_xxx --ref main --repo-dir .
# Inspect resolved agent config (from latest sync)
eve agents config --project proj_xxx --json
# Simulate chat routing without Slack
eve chat simulate --project proj_xxx --team-id T123 --channel-id C456 --user-id U789 --text "hello"

# Set org default agent slug (fallback when no slug matches)
eve org update org_xxx --default-agent mission-control

Packs (AgentPacks)

eve packs status
eve packs resolve --dry-run
eve migrate skills-to-packs

Slack gateway commands (run inside Slack):

@eve <agent-slug> <command>
@eve agents list
@eve agents listen <agent-slug>
@eve agents unlisten <agent-slug>
@eve agents listening

Nostr commands (via DM to platform pubkey):

/agent-slug command text
agent-slug: command text

Secrets

eve secrets list --project proj_xxx
eve secrets set API_KEY "value" --project proj_xxx
eve secrets delete API_KEY --project proj_xxx
eve secrets show API_KEY --project proj_xxx
eve secrets ensure --project proj_xxx --keys API_KEY
eve secrets export --project proj_xxx --keys API_KEY

System Admin (if authorized)

eve system status
eve system jobs
eve system envs
eve system env-health --json
eve system env-cost --all
eve system logs api --tail 50
eve system pods
eve system events

eve system env-cost returns month-to-date environment allocation snapshots from the admin API. It is a snapshot view, not a live OpenCost query; stale or unavailable estimates are labelled in the output.

Workflows

eve workflow list
eve workflow run qa-review --input '{"task":"audit"}'
eve workflow invoke qa-review --input '{"task":"audit"}'
eve workflow run qa-review --input '{...}' --env-override MODEL=opus-4.5
eve workflow logs job_abc123

--env-override KEY=VALUE is repeatable on run and invoke; values flow through to each step's job as env_overrides.

Integrations (Slack, Nostr, GitHub)

eve integrations list --org org_xxx
eve integrations slack connect --org org_xxx --team-id T123 --token xoxb-test
eve integrations test <integration_id> --org org_xxx

# Nostr integration (via API)
# POST /integrations {"provider": "nostr", "account_id": "<platform-pubkey>", ...}

Pipelines and Workflows

eve pipeline list
eve pipeline show <project> <name>
eve pipeline run <name> --ref <sha> --env <env> --repo-dir ./my-app

eve workflow list
eve workflow show <project> <name>
eve workflow run <project> <name> --input '{"k":"v"}' [--env-override KEY=VALUE]
eve workflow invoke <project> <name> --input '{"k":"v"}' [--env-override KEY=VALUE] [--no-wait]
eve workflow logs <job-id>

Builds

Builds are first-class primitives that track image construction from input (spec) to execution (run) to output (artifacts).

# List builds for a project
eve build list [--project <id>]

# Create a build spec
eve build create --project <id> --ref <sha> --manifest-hash <hash>

# Show build spec details
eve build show <build_id>

# Start a build run
eve build run <build_id>

# List runs for a build
eve build runs <build_id>

# View build logs
eve build logs <build_id> [--run <run_id>]

# List produced image artifacts (digests)
eve build artifacts <build_id>

# Full diagnostic dump (spec + runs + artifacts + logs)
eve build diagnose <build_id>

# Cancel an active build
eve build cancel <build_id>

Builds happen automatically during pipeline build steps. Use eve build diagnose to debug build failures.

Traces (OTEL)

Agent-queryable trace store. Pair with eve env diagnose --request <id> and eve env logs --filter request_id=<id> for end-to-end request triage.

eve traces query --request-id <id>                    # spans for a single request
eve traces query --trace-id <id>                      # spans for a known trace
eve traces query --service api --since 15m --error    # recent errors in a service
eve traces query --route /api/projects --p99          # p99 latency for a route
eve traces query --request-id <id> --json             # machine-readable

One of --request-id, --trace-id, --since, --route, or --error is required. --no-cache bypasses the trace cache.

Custom Domains

eve domain list [--env <name>] [--project <id>]
eve domain verify <hostname>             # check DNS and show activation status
eve domain status <hostname>             # show domain status and owning env
eve domain transfer <hostname> --to <env>  # move ownership between envs
eve domain unbind <hostname>             # clear binding so next deploy claims it
eve domain remove <hostname>             # delete the domain entirely

System Health

eve system health

Harnesses (Optional)

eve harness list
eve harness list --capabilities
eve harness get mclaude
eve agents config --json

Notes

• Use --project if no default project is set in the profile.
• Integrations are org-scoped; use --org for integrations commands.
• Prefer eve job ... (singular) for job commands.
