# Command reference

Every Hive workflow verb runs on `bin/hive` (or the `hv` shim when Apache Hive
shadows the name). Each verb supports `--json` and returns a typed envelope, so
an agent can drive Hive with structured output instead of scraping text.

The TUI is the recommended human interface and an agent-driven CLI is the
recommended automation surface — but every command below is available directly
for scripting, debugging, and recovery.
