hive-operate

hive-operate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hivemind-OSS/Hivemind. It costs 149 tokens per session (2,803 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for operating a running Hivemind server and adjusting its settings. It covers health metrics, recall and safety controls, repository registration, census data, and an operator dashboard.

In plain words
What is it for?
For reading server health metrics, changing operating controls, managing synced repositories, viewing status, and recording census information.
Why use it?
It helps maintain the server after startup by showing its condition and providing documented ways to tune or administer it.

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

hive-operate 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 8d 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.

hive-operate — watch the KPIs & turn the knobs

Keep a running server lean and current. The store does not clean itself — maintenance is the product. Full leverage map: OPERATIONS.md; knob tables: HIVE-ADMIN.md §4 & §6.

CLI resolve (once per shell): command -v hive >/dev/null 2>&1 || hive() { python3 -m hive.tools.cli "$@"; } — makes every hive … line below run on an uninstalled checkout (the CLI is stdlib-only; Windows shells: py -m hive.tools.cli <verb>; prerequisites: hive-bringup).

For a browser view of the live picture, hive ui serves a loopback-only operator dashboard (live status, seat mint/revoke, backup, non-blocking start/stop, tunnel activate/deactivate, restore from an in-volume backup behind a typed confirm, log tail; no reset) — --no-open for a headless host. The KPIs below stay MCP-only; the dashboard is the docker-side status/lifecycle surface.

The KPIs — read-only over MCP, off the warm store

Call these from any connected agent (there is no host-side verb):

Call Tells you Act on
hive_health(include_trends=true) confident_rate + demand_entropy, current vs prior 7d + deltas tau_serve, demand_m
hive_health(include_gaps=true) topics wanted but uncovered (misses carry their repo scope) hive_write the answers
hive_health(include_conflicts=true) near-duplicate / contradicting memories + agent advisories, bucketed by repo and anchor; established rows with rivals rank above provisional hive_supersede the wrong one
hive_health(include_suspect_consensus=true) promotions on thin effective independence re-examine; retire via hive_supersede / hive_prune
hive_health(include_stale_suspects=true) servable memories whose anchor sat in the blast radius of a breaking/removed change re-verify each against the code; retire the truly stale
hive_health(include_census_health=true) repos — per registered repo: days since the last change_outcome + the sync block (tracked_ref/last_tip/last_sync_ts/last_error/backfilled_total; status: "no change_outcome evidence yet" when configured yet dark — a measured fact about EVIDENCE, never a daemon verdict). fleet — the daemon's own last_sync_ts/last_error read fleet FIRST: a last_error there (or a frozen last_sync_ts) means the daemon is down and every repo block is a stale snapshot that still reads as passing → hive logs. Otherwise check the registry (hive repos), the token env var, remote reachability

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.
