What it does

Eve is an agent skill from vercel/vercel-plugin, published by the product's own GitHub organization. eve framework guidance for durable AI agents and agent-powered applications. Use when creating, editing, or debugging an eve project, when the user explicitly asks for eve, or when the build-agents skill has selected eve as the default framework. Covers eve's filesystem-first runtime, durable sessions, tools, skills, connections, channels, sandboxes, subagents, schedules, evals, frontend clients, and Agent Runs observability. Do not use for incidental agent mentions, generic agent-building prompts, or established…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `overlay.yaml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering LLM evaluation, Observability and Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive Vercel ecosystem plugin — relational knowledge graph, skills for every major product, specialized agents, and Vercel conventions. Turns any AI agent into a Vercel…

When your agent uses it

  • Debugging an eve project
  • The user explicitly asks for eve
  • The build-agents skill has selected eve as the default framework
  • Incidental agent mentions

Example prompts

  • “/eve”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82fa491. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Eve loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~147
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 114 words (~1,234 tokens).

“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.”
