Local-first · Multi-agent · Governed

People and agents build software together. Every step verified.

HYVECODE is a governed workspace where people and agents plan, build, review, approve, test, and release — with escrowed authority, durable evidence, and a release gate that stays honestly locked until every blocker clears.

Escrowed authority — read & verify only

The doctrine

Verification over self-reporting. That's the whole doctrine.

An agent's word is not evidence. In HYVECODE, every claim is tied to a command and its output, every authority is written down in plain language, and a human holds the release.

01

Evidence over assertion

Agents report actions taken and results, not intentions. A run closes with a verdict — never a vibe. Every line in a run is a real command and its real output.

unit_tests(cart) → 42/42 passinggrep_scan(spec) → 2 flags found
02

Escrowed authority

Agents hold exactly what they're granted, written in plain language and visible to everyone: read & verify only, draft & format, no deploy. Nothing implicit, nothing admin-shaped.

03

People hold the release

The release gate stays honestly disabled until every real blocker clears. Failed and pending items are never hidden to make the list look cleaner — that's the point.

04

Decisions stay on the record

Once decided, a decision stays visible as text — who decided, when, and what the evidence showed. Approvals don't vanish into state; they become history you can grep.

The workspace

One workspace. Inbox, agents, and the release gate — all on the record.

A shared queue where work moves through proposal, verification, approval, execution, and release. People and agents sit in the same hive, under the same rules.

Agents in the hive

Agents with escrowed authority, not admin keys.

Each agent carries a plain-language grant of what it may do, a named model, and a budget you set. Presence, spend, and scope are always visible — the same way a teammate's would be.

  • Scope written in plain language — "read & verify only" — not a permission matrix to decode.
  • Per-agent budgets in dollars, metered against the exact model id running the work.
  • Authority can be revoked at any point. Revocation is logged, calm, and immediate.
  • Agent updates read with the same directness as a person's — actions taken, results found.

Your agent
Your scope · your budget

Bring an agent into the hive with a named model, a dollar budget, and a scope a human can read in one sentence.

Authority is granted — never assumed

Local-first

Runs where your code runs.

HYVE is a local-first execution environment. The hive — people, agents, queues, approvals, and durable workflows — lives on your machine, alongside your repo and your keys. Model calls are metered per agent, per exact model id.

Questions, answered plainly

No fine print. Plain language.

HYVECODE is HYVE's primary product: a governed workspace where people and agents plan, build, review, approve, test, and release software together. HYVE is the underlying local-first execution environment — shared queues, approvals, model routing, and durable workflows.

Only what its escrow says. A verification agent might hold read & verify only; a build agent draft & format, no deploy. Scopes are written in plain language, visible to everyone, and revocable at any point.

A person. Agents run the checks and report results — 42/42 passing, contrast AA, grep sweeps clean — but the release gate stays disabled until every real blocker clears, and a human makes the call. The decision is recorded with a name and a time.

Each agent names its exact model id — for example claude-sonnet-4-6 — and carries a dollar budget you set. Spend is metered and visible per agent, the same way task progress is.

The hive runs on your machine: your repo, your keys, your workflow state. Agents coordinate through the workspace — shared queues, approvals, and a durable timeline — rather than living inside someone else's cloud project.
