Build durable backend AI agents with the eve framework. Use when creating, editing, or debugging an eve project — agent instructions, skills, tools, connections, channels, sandboxes, subagents, schedules, or evals.

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.
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.
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
Take vercel/eve from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npm, npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
