Like a web framework, but for agents. Markdown for instructions and skills, TypeScript for tools. Durable by default.
Define instructions and skills in Markdown, tools in TypeScript, and deploy. The framework compiles the directory, wires up durable workflows, and connects channels.
An instructions.md file is a complete agent. Describe its role in Markdown, then run cove.
cove ships with a default model. Add agent.ts when you want to pick a different one or configure the runtime.
Skills are Markdown playbooks loaded only when they are relevant. The agent gets focused guidance without carrying it in every prompt.
Model Gateway for inference, Sandboxes, Workflows, and Connect. All critical agent infrastructure works out of the box, no gluing point solutions together.
Durable execution, state persistence, event streaming.
Checkpointed steps, park between messages, resume on delivery.
Model calls, streaming.
Isolated execution.
MCP/HTTP endpoints.
Functions, child agents.
Where your agent gets surfaced.
Enterprise governance, observability, and sandboxed compute come standard. Focus on building, not infrastructure.
Workflows survive crashes and restarts. Every step is checkpointed. Agents park when waiting, resume on the next message.
Agents spin up isolated VMs on demand. File system access, shell execution, and code runs, all completely isolated.
One agent codebase deploys to web chat, Relay, API, cron, CLI, and your own custom apps.
Tools that need confirmation trigger approval gates. Sessions park until resolved, then pick up exactly where they stopped.
Delegate specialized work to child agents with their own prompts, tools, and sandbox.
Define test suites with scoring rubrics. Run evals on every deployment and on a schedule.
