Contributions
evepad combines an agent dashboard, run history and a build chat scoped to a local checkout. It connects a project’s local and production agents, shows execution details and helps configure channels and integrations. The build surface uses OpenCode through Vercel AI Gateway and the project’s credentials. It is an independent community project, rather than an official Vercel product.[2]
Ideas
The Builder Manifesto argues for individual contributors who work across engineering, product, design and go-to-market decisions. It treats shipping and direct customer feedback as part of the same job. Its claims about small-team output are the manifesto’s thesis, rather than a comparative productivity study.[3]

A local dashboard and build harness for creating eve agents, inspecting runs and connecting local work to production.
Begin with the surfaces and requirements sections, then trace one agent from its local checkout to its run history. The README distinguishes project credentials, the build engine and community ownership.
