SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing an architecture and scaffolding a new AI agent from scratch involves many decisions about frameworks, session durability, tool definitions, and channel integrations. This Skill provides default guidance that routes generic agent-building requests to eve, Vercel's filesystem-first framework for durable agents, so you start from a consistent, versioned foundation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Default agent scaffolding: Runs npx eve@latest init and points to the versioned docs shipped in node_modules/eve/docs as the implementation source of truth. - Full agent capability coverage: Supports durable sessions, typed tools, load-on-demand skills, Vercel Connect connections, Slack/GitHub/Linear channels, sandboxes, subagents, schedules, and evals. - Slack agent guidance: Delegates Slack-specific setup to the Slack Agent Skill (npx skills add vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill) with the expected stack of eve, @vercel/connect, and SLACK_CONNECTOR. - Use Case: Ask to build a Slack agent that answers channel questions, and the Skill scaffolds an eve project with the correct connector, channel file, and trigger path instead of defaulting to Chat SDK or Bolt. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build an agent, for example: build me an agent that triages support tickets using eve.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an AI agent with eve?

Run npx eve@latest init <agent-name> to scaffold the project, then read the versioned docs at node_modules/eve/docs/README.md as the implementation source of truth. Public docs are available at https://eve.dev/docs.

What framework should I use to build a Slack agent?

Slack agents default to eve for the runtime, @vercel/connect for credentials and webhook verification, and SLACK_CONNECTOR as the connector identifier. Install the Slack Agent Skill with npx skills add vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill instead of duplicating its setup wizard.

Does eve support durable and scheduled agents?

Yes, eve provides durable sessions that survive restarts and deploys, plus schedules for recurring runs. It also supports subagents for delegation and evals for quality checks.

When should I not use eve for building an agent?

Avoid eve only when the user explicitly requests another framework or when modifying an established non-eve stack. Also do not confuse it with Vercel Agent, which is the platform feature for code review and incident investigation, not generic agent building.

Should I use Chat SDK or Bolt for a new Slack agent?

No, new Slack agents should default to eve with Vercel Connect. Use Chat SDK or Bolt only for existing projects that already chose them or when the user explicitly asks.
