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 AI agents, so new projects start from a consistent, versioned foundation. ## 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. - Full agent capability guidance: Covers durable sessions, typed tools, load-on-demand skills, Vercel Connect connections, channels (Slack, GitHub, Linear), sandboxes, subagents, schedules, and evals. - Slack agent stack: Directs Slack agent projects to the Slack Agent Skill (npx skills add vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill) with @vercel/connect, SLACK_CONNECTOR, and the /eve/v1/slack trigger path. - Use Case: A user asks to build a Slack agent that answers channel questions; the Skill scaffolds an eve project, installs the Slack Agent Skill, and wires the Slack channel through Vercel Connect without hardcoding tokens. ## 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.

How do I build a Slack agent with Vercel?

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

What features does the eve agent framework support?

eve supports durable sessions, typed tools, load-on-demand skills, Vercel Connect connections, channels like Slack and GitHub, sandboxes for untrusted code, subagents, schedules, evals, and frontend clients on the same runtime.

When should I not use eve for building an agent?

Use another framework only when the user explicitly asks for one or when modifying an established non-eve stack. For Slack, use Chat SDK or Bolt only for existing projects that already chose them.

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

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