Getting Started

Create an eve project, learn its filesystem layout, and start adding capabilities.

eve agents are TypeScript projects. You describe an agent with files under agent/, then eve runs it as a durable service.

Start in order

  1. Install eve: create a project, configure a model credential, and run it locally
  2. Learn the project structure: see which files eve discovers and where each capability belongs
  3. Build your first agent: add tools, state, and an interface for a useful workflow

What you need

  • Node.js 24 or newer
  • npm, which Node.js includes
  • A model credential for the model your agent uses

Choose your next step

Start with Installation when you need a new project. Read Project structure when you already have an eve project or want to add a capability.
