vercel/eve

Read the documentation for the full project layout and guides.

Quick start

npx eve@latest init my-agent

This creates a new my-agent directory, installs its dependencies, initializes Git, and starts the interactive terminal UI.

To add eve to an existing project, pass a path:

cd myapp
npx eve@latest init .

[!NOTE] The eve package includes its full documentation, so coding agents can read it locally from node_modules/eve/docs.

A minimal example

The generated project includes an agent directory. Replace agent/instructions.md with:

You are a concise weather demo assistant. Tell users that the weather data is mocked.

Add a mock weather tool at agent/tools/get_weather.ts:

import { defineTool } from "eve/tools";
import { z } from "zod";

export default defineTool({
  description: "Return mock weather data for a city.",
  inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string().min(1) }),
  async execute({ city }) {
    return { city, condition: "Sunny", temperatureF: 72 };
  },
});

Choose the model in agent/agent.ts:

import { defineAgent } from "eve";

export default defineAgent({
  model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
});

For a new scaffold, start the agent again:

npm run dev

That's a working agent. Add human-in-the-loop prompts, subagents, and schedules as needed. Follow the first-agent tutorial for a complete walkthrough.
