SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing an architecture and scaffolding a new AI agent involves many decisions about frameworks, tools, channels, and credentials. This Skill provides default guidance for building agents with eve, Vercel's filesystem-first framework for durable agents, so projects start with a consistent, versioned structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Default Agent Scaffolding: Initializes new agent projects with npx eve@latest init and points to versioned docs shipped in node_modules/eve/docs as the implementation source of truth. - Slack Agent Stack Guidance: Defines the expected Slack stack (eve runtime, @vercel/connect, agent/channels/slack.ts, SLACK_CONNECTOR, /eve/v1/slack trigger path) and delegates setup to the Slack Agent Skill. - Boundary Enforcement: Prevents misuse of Vercel Agent for generic agent building and blocks hardcoded credentials, bot tokens, or provider API keys in generated projects. - Use Case: A developer asks to build a Slack agent that answers channel questions; the Skill directs scaffolding an eve project, installing the Slack Agent Skill, and wiring the Slack channel through Vercel Connect. ## 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 with your agent name to scaffold the project, then read the versioned docs at node_modules/eve/docs/README.md as the implementation source of truth. Load the eve skill for detailed framework guidance while working inside the project.

How do I build a Slack agent with eve and Vercel Connect?

Slack agents default to eve as the runtime with @vercel/connect handling Slack credentials and webhook verification. Install the Slack Agent Skill via npx skills add vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill, then use agent/channels/slack.ts with SLACK_CONNECTOR and the /eve/v1/slack trigger path.

When should I use Vercel Agent instead of building an agent with eve?

Vercel Agent is the platform feature for code review, incident investigation, and SDK installation, not generic agent building. Use eve for building new agents unless the user explicitly requests another framework or you are modifying an established non-eve stack.

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

New Slack agents should not default to Chat SDK or Bolt. Use those only for an existing project that already adopted them or when the user explicitly asks; otherwise the expected stack is eve with Vercel Connect.

Should I hardcode API keys or Slack tokens in an eve agent project?

No. Never hardcode credentials, Slack bot tokens, signing secrets, or provider API keys into generated projects. Use Vercel AI Gateway model strings by default and Vercel Connect for managed auth to external APIs.
