Hive documentation

Hive turns a rough idea into a merge-ready pull request through an async multi-agent pipeline that runs in the background and asks for answers when it needs them. These docs cover installing it, the ideas behind it, configuring it, the command surface, and running it as a service.

Start here

  • Getting started — install, hive init, and your first task in the TUI.
  • Concepts — folder-as-agent, the nine stages, and the marker protocol.
  • Configuration — project config, patrol mode, reviewers, agent profiles, and the daemon.
  • Command reference — every user-facing hive command.
  • Operating — daemon, bot, and babysitter as services.

Looking for the source?

Hive is open source (MIT) on GitHub. The full engineering wiki lives in the repo; these docs are the curated, user-facing subset.
