Profiles (API Target + Defaults)
# Create and use a profile
eve profile create staging --api-url https://api.eh1.incept5.dev
eve profile use staging
# Set defaults to avoid repeating flags
eve profile set --default-email [email protected] --default-ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
eve profile set --org org_xxx --project proj_xxx
# Inspect current profile
eve profile show
Authentication
eve auth login
eve auth status
eve auth logout
eve auth permissions
# Sync local OAuth tokens for agent harnesses (optional)
eve auth sync
# Nostr challenge (API-level, no CLI command yet)
# POST /auth/challenge {"provider": "nostr", "pubkey": "<hex>"}
Orgs and Projects
eve org list
eve org ensure my-org --slug myorg
eve project list
eve project ensure --name "My App" --slug my-app --repo-url [email protected]:me/my-app.git --branch main
# Membership management
eve org members --org org_xxx
eve org members add [email protected] --role admin --org org_xxx
eve org members remove user_abc --org org_xxx
eve project members --project proj_xxx
eve project members add [email protected] --role admin --project proj_xxx
eve project members remove user_abc --project proj_xxx
URL impact: The org --slug and project --slug directly form your deployment URLs and K8s namespaces:
- URL:
{service}.{orgSlug}-{projectSlug}-{env}.{domain}(e.g.,api.myorg-my-app-staging.eh1.incept5.dev) - Namespace:
eve-{orgSlug}-{projectSlug}-{env}(e.g.,eve-myorg-my-app-staging)
Choose slugs carefully — they are immutable after creation.
Environments and Deploys
# Create a persistent environment
eve env create staging --project proj_xxx --type persistent
# Inspect environments
eve env list --project proj_xxx
eve env show staging --project proj_xxx
# Deploy an environment (requires --ref with 40-char SHA or a ref resolved against --repo-dir)
eve env deploy staging --ref main --repo-dir .
# When environment has a pipeline configured, the above triggers the pipeline.
# Use --direct to bypass pipeline and deploy directly:
eve env deploy staging --ref main --repo-dir . --direct
# Pass inputs to pipeline:
eve env deploy staging --ref main --repo-dir . --inputs '{"key":"value"}'
# Diagnostics
eve env diagnose proj_xxx staging
eve env logs proj_xxx staging
eve env delete proj_xxx staging

eve job create --description "Review auth flow"
eve job list --phase active
eve job show <job-id>

Coordination (Supervise + Threads)
eve supervise <job-id> --timeout 60
eve thread messages <thread-id> --since 10m
eve thread post <thread-id> --body '{"kind":"directive","body":"focus on auth"}'
eve thread follow <thread-id>
Agents + Chat
# Sync agent/team/chat configuration from repo
eve agents sync --project proj_xxx --ref main --repo-dir .
# Inspect resolved agent config (from latest sync)
eve agents config --project proj_xxx --json
# Simulate chat routing without Slack
eve chat simulate --project proj_xxx --team-id T123 --channel-id C456 --user-id U789 --text "hello"
# Set org default agent slug (fallback when no slug matches)
eve org update org_xxx --default-agent mission-control

Builds
Builds are first-class primitives that track image construction from input (spec) to execution (run) to output (artifacts).
# List builds for a project
eve build list [--project <id>]
# Create a build spec
eve build create --project <id> --ref <sha> --manifest-hash <hash>
# Show build spec details
eve build show <build_id>
# Start a build run
eve build run <build_id>
# List runs for a build
eve build runs <build_id>
# View build logs
eve build logs <build_id> [--run <run_id>]
# List produced image artifacts (digests)
eve build artifacts <build_id>
# Full diagnostic dump (spec + runs + artifacts + logs)
eve build diagnose <build_id>
# Cancel an active build
eve build cancel <build_id>
Builds happen automatically during pipeline build steps. Use eve build diagnose to debug build failures.

Notes
- Use
--projectif no default project is set in the profile. - Integrations are org-scoped; use

- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
