hivemind AGENTS.md

A project guide for Hivemind, a Linux desktop app that gives AI coding agents a visual workspace of terminals, files, changes, and issues. A monorepo is one repository containing several related apps and packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on Hivemind's desktop app, command-line tool, shared packages, MCP server, workspace templates, or design documentation.
Why use it?
It explains the project layout, local-first design, issue files, and where to find more specific instructions before editing code.

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

hivemind AGENTS.md 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — hivemind

Guidance for AI agents (and humans) working in this repo. Subfolders have their own AGENTS.md with local detail — read the one nearest the code you're changing. For the research/knowledge-base workflow, see CLAUDE.md.

What this is

A Linux desktop app (Electron + an infinite xyflow canvas) that is mission-control for AI coding agents. Every tile is a live terminal / diff / file-tree / editor / issues board; tiles live in frames (workspaces) bound to a real repo on disk — local, a git worktree, or a remote SSH host. Issues are plain markdown under .hivemind/; agents read/update them through an MCP server. Local-first, no cloud, no telemetry.

Monorepo layout

apps/
  desktop/   Electron main + preload + React renderer (the canvas app)   → apps/desktop/AGENTS.md
  cli/       `hive` CLI (citty + bun-compile); hosts the MCP server
packages/
  hive-core/ storage + parsing for .hivemind/ (gray-matter + zod)         → packages/hive-core/AGENTS.md
  hive-mcp/  stdio MCP server (tools wrapping hive-core)
  tsconfig/  shared TS config
templates/   per-workspace agentic templates (`hive init --agentic`)
docs/design/ architecture design docs (e.g. remote-frames.md)
scripts/     release.sh + helpers

pnpm workspace; Node ≥ 22, pnpm ≥ 10, bun ≥ 1.1 (CLI compile only).

Build / test / verify (run from apps/desktop unless noted)

pnpm run typecheck      # tsc --noEmit, web + node projects — ALWAYS run before commit
pnpm run build          # electron-vite build (validates the real bundle path)
pnpm test:unit          # node:test — fast, pure logic; add tests here first
pnpm test:e2e           # Playwright + xvfb — needs `unset ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` first

The minimum gate before any commit: typecheck + build + test:unit green. Run the relevant e2e when you touch canvas/frame/tile/issue behavior.

Conventions

  • TypeScript strict. No any escapes without reason.
  • Comments document why, especially load-bearing trade-offs and the non-obvious. Match the density of the surrounding file. No restating the code.
  • Icons: lucide-react only — never emoji or unicode glyphs as UI icons (they render inconsistently and aren't theme-colorable).
  • Design tokens: use the var(--color-*) palette + the .u-eyebrow utility; don't hard-code hex. Informational text uses --color-fg2 (passes WCAG AA); --color-fg3 is decoration only. Add aria-label to icon-only buttons and a focus ring to every input.
  • Commit messages end with: Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>. Commit to main, in logical chunks. Keep stray files (.rig/, scratch) out of commits — add explicit paths, don't git add -A blindly.
  • CHANGELOG hand-off rule: anything that ships to users gets a one-line entry under ## [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md before you hand back.

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.
