eve is a framework for building durable AI agents with a developer experience similar to modern web frameworks. It helps teams structure agent projects as simple folders, preserve state across runs, and compose agent behavior without rebuilding infrastructure from scratch. Developers can use eve to prototype assistants, automation agents, research workflows, and internal tools that need memory, repeatability, and clean deployment paths. It is designed for software teams, AI engineers, and product builders who want agent systems that feel maintainable rather than like one-off scripts. eve stands out because it focuses on the application layer around agents: opinionated project structure, durable defaults, and a workflow that makes agent development feel closer to shipping a production app.

ponytail, a lightweight open-source tool that layers a 'chill senior dev' persona onto AI coding agents (like Claude). It makes the model pause, think like an experienced engineer, and aggressively cut unnecessary code before generating anything.
