A setup and update guide for keephive, a tool and its related components. It checks for the uv package manager, installs or updates keephive, and runs its setup process.

Use it when installing, updating, or setting up keephive and checking its installed version.

It provides a repeatable way to prepare a machine or bring an existing keephive installation up to date. It stops early when a required package manager is missing.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00056	$0.00598
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.00299

Security

Grade D, and why

sync scanned grade D with 3 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.

keephive Sync

Install keephive from scratch or bring an existing installation up to date. This skill walks through each step, verifying as it goes.

Step 1: Check for uv

Run which uv to confirm the package manager is available.

If uv is not found, tell the user:

uv is required but not installed. Install it with: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Then re-run this sync.

Stop here if uv is missing. Do not proceed.

Step 2: Install or update keephive

Check if keephive is already installed:

which keephive

If installed, update to the latest version:

uv tool install --force keephive

If not installed, install fresh:

uv tool install keephive

After install, verify:

keephive --version

Print the installed version.

Step 3: Run setup

Run the full setup to register hooks, MCP server, seed content, and initialize KingBee:

keephive setup --yes

This is idempotent. Running it on an already-configured machine updates anything that drifted without destroying existing data.

Step 4: Offer claude-stack companion

Read ~/.claude/settings.json and check the enabledPlugins object for any key containing claude-stack.

If claude-stack is already installed, print:

claude-stack is already installed. No action needed.

If claude-stack is NOT installed, ask the user:

claude-stack provides engineering discipline for Claude Code: TDD, debugging protocols, spec-writing, verification workflows, and enforcement hooks. keephive handles memory. claude-stack handles methodology. They pair directly.

Install claude-stack? (This requires user confirmation.)

Only proceed if the user explicitly says yes. If yes:

claude plugin install joryeugene/claude-stack

If the user declines, acknowledge and move on. Do not ask again.

Step 5: Summary

Print what was done:

keephive version installed/updated
Hooks registered (count)
MCP server status
claude-stack status (installed / declined / already present)
Next steps: hive s to check status, hive doctor to verify health

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.

sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository joryeugene/keephive (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 598 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
