About eve
eve is an open-source framework for building AI agents that you own, designed around a file-system-based structure and production-ready runtime. An instructions.md file is enough to define an agent, while optional building blocks such as model configuration, skills, tools, sandboxes, channels, connections, subagents, schedules, and evals can be added as the agent grows. Tools are created by dropping TypeScript files into the tools directory, and skills are written as Markdown playbooks that load only when relevant. Agents can connect to services such as GitHub, Stripe, and Linear through authenticated connections and can surface through Slack, Discord, Teams, web chat, APIs, cron jobs, CLIs, and custom applications from the same codebase. Specialized subagents can handle delegated work with their own prompts, tools, and sandboxes.
