## Initial Setup
### Prerequisites
See [environment-setup.md](./environment-setup.md) for the full setup guide, including Windows, Alpine Linux, and troubleshooting.
Ensure you have installed:
- **Python 3.11+** - [Download](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (3.12 or 3.13 recommended)
- **uv** - Python package manager ([Install](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/))
- **git** - Version control
- **Claude Code** - [Install](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/claude-code) (optional)
- **Codex CLI** - [Install](https://github.com/openai/codex) (optional)
Verify installation:
### Quick Start
```bash
python --version # Should be 3.11+
uv --version # Should be latest
git --version # Any recent version
```
### Step-by-Step Setup
```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/adenhq/hive.git
cd hive
# 2. Run automated setup
./quickstart.sh
```
The setup script performs these actions:
1. Checks Python version (3.11+)
2. Installs `framework` package from `/core` (editable mode)
3. Installs `aden_tools` package from `/tools` (editable mode)
4. Prompts for a default LLM provider, including Hive LLM and OpenRouter
5. Fixes package compatibility (upgrades openai for litellm)
6. Verifies all installations
### API Keys (Optional)
For running agents with real LLMs:
```bash
# Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here" # Optional
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="your-key-here" # Optional, for OpenRouter models
export HIVE_API_KEY="your-key-here" # Optional, for Hive LLM
export BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY="your-key-here" # Optional, for web search tool
```
Get API keys:
- **Anthropic**: [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com/)
- **OpenAI**: [platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com/)
- **OpenRouter**: [openrouter.ai/keys](https://openrouter.ai/keys)
- **Hive LLM**: [Hive Discord](https://discord.com/invite/hQdU7QDkgR)
- **Brave Search**: [brave.com/search/api](https://brave.com/search/api/)
For OpenRouter and Hive LLM configuration snippets, see [configuration.md](./configuration.md).
### Install Claude Code Skills
```bash
# Install building-agents and testing-agent skills
./quickstart.sh
```
This sets up the MCP tools and workflows for building agents.
### Cursor IDE Support
MCP tools are also available in Cursor. To enable:
1. Open Command Palette (`Cmd+Shift+P` / `Ctrl+Shift+P`)
2. Run `MCP: Enable` to enable MCP servers
3. Restart Cursor to load the MCP servers from `.cursor/mcp.json`
4. Open Agent chat and verify MCP tools are available
### Codex CLI Support
Hive supports [OpenAI Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex) (v0.101.0+).
Configuration files are tracked in git:
- `.codex/config.toml` — MCP server config
To use Codex with Hive:
1. Run `codex` in the repo root
2. Start the configured MCP-assisted workflow
Example:
```
Start Codex in the repo root and use the configured MCP tools
```
### Opencode Support
To enable Opencode integration:
1. Create/Ensure `.opencode/` directory exists
2. Configure MCP servers in `.opencode/mcp.json`
3. Restart Opencode to load the MCP servers
4. Switch to the Hive agent
* **Tools:** Accesses `coder-tools` and standard `tools` via standard MCP protocols over stdio.
### Verify Setup
```bash
# Verify package imports
uv run python -c "import framework; print('✓ framework OK')"
uv run python -c "import aden_tools; print('✓ aden_tools OK')"
uv run python -c "import litellm; print('✓ litellm OK')"
# Run an agent (after building one with coder-tools)
PYTHONPATH=exports uv run python -m your_agent_name validate
uv run python -c "import framework; print('OK')"
uv run python -c "import aden_tools; print('OK')"
uv run python -c "import litellm; print('OK')"
```

### Agent Tests
```bash

This generates and runs:
- **Constraint tests** - Verify agent respects constraints
- **Success tests** - Verify agent achieves success criteria
- **Integration tests** - End-to-end workflows

### Framework Tests
```bash
# Run all unit tests (core + tools)
make test
# Run linting and format checks
make check
```
### Dummy Agent Tests (E2E)
The repository includes end-to-end dummy agent tests under `core/tests/dummy_agents/` that run real LLM calls against deterministic graph structures. These are **not** part of CI — run them manually to verify the executor works with real providers.
```bash
cd core && uv run python tests/dummy_agents/run_all.py
```
The script detects available LLM credentials and prompts you to pick a provider. For verbose output:
```bash
cd core && uv run python tests/dummy_agents/run_all.py --verbose
```
See [environment-setup.md](./environment-setup.md#testing-with-dummy-agents) for the full list of covered agents and details.
