overview

An overview of Hivekeep’s persistent AI agents, which live on a server instead of ending with one chatbot session. Each agent has an identity, continuous memory, a lasting session, collaboration skills, and optional scheduled or connected work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating agents, defining their roles and personalities, choosing models or providers, or understanding how agents remember, collaborate, and act over time.
Why use it?
It explains how these agents differ from temporary chat sessions and what parts make up an agent. That gives developers a shared model for building or using the system.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 623 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

overview scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agents are Hivekeep's core concept: persistent AI agents that live on your server, remember everything, and work as a team.

Unlike disposable chatbot sessions, an Agent has:

  • A permanent identity: name, role, personality, expertise, avatar
  • Continuous memory: every conversation is remembered forever through vector + full-text search
  • A continuous session: there's no "new conversation"; the session never resets
  • Collaboration skills: Agents talk to each other, delegate tasks, and spawn sub-agents
  • Autonomy: cron jobs, webhooks, and channel integrations let them work while you sleep

Anatomy of an Agent

When you create an Agent, you define:

Field Purpose
Name Display name (e.g. "Atlas")
Slug Unique identifier for inter-Agent communication (e.g. atlas)
Role One-line description of what it does (e.g. "Infrastructure specialist")
Character Personality traits and communication style
Expertise Domain knowledge and capabilities
Model Which LLM to use (from your configured providers)
Provider Which AI provider to use (optional, defaults to instance default)
Avatar Visual identity in the UI

How they work

  1. Messages queue: each Agent has its own priority queue. User messages are processed before automated ones (cron, webhooks, inter-Agent). Within the same priority, messages are processed in order.
  2. System prompt: Hivekeep builds a rich system prompt from the Agent's identity, its memory profile, contacts directory, Agent directory, active channels, and platform directives.
  3. Memory: the curated profile is always present in the prompt; the episodic archive is searched on demand by the Agent with recall.
  4. Session compacting: when the conversation gets too long for the model's context window, older messages are summarized into a snapshot. Original messages are always preserved in the database, so no data is lost.
  5. Tool execution: Agents have access to 100+ built-in tools plus MCP servers and custom tools.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

overview is an agent published in the GitHub repository MarlBurroW/hivekeep (51 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 623 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
