No CI to write
Extend an abstract and your package has a full pipeline: build, test, deploy. The abstract also owns the config schema your editor completes, and the scaffold. Built
A developer's best friend, or worst enemy
Jive takes the manual steps out of building, shipping and running software, and the infrastructure behind it. It is built to run agentic workflows in the cloud, so work keeps going with your laptop closed. Take it far enough and it runs an entire business, with no developers needed.
Best friend: what Jive takes off your plate
Section titled “Best friend: what Jive takes off your plate”Nothing to create by hand
Each deploy makes sure what it deploys to exists: the npm package, the repository, the DNS record. You never click through a dashboard first. Built for npm packages
No keys on your machine
Sign in once with a passkey. Jive’s server holds your SSH key and signs your commits and pushes, so no machine keeps a private key. Built
No secrets in CI
A pipeline signs in with its own GitHub identity and acts through credentials Jive holds, so no long-lived tokens sit in your repository settings. Sign-in built; tokens still stored
Many repos, one workspace
Keep every package in its own repository and still work in one checkout, signing and pushing the same way everywhere. Built
Agents that don't need your laptop
Agentic workflows run on cloud compute with a session Jive gives them, so work keeps going while your laptop is closed. Planned
Worst enemy: a business that runs itself
Section titled “Worst enemy: a business that runs itself”Everything above is designed to compose. Agentic workflows are packages built from steps, and workforces are built from workflows. Resource providers give every one of them the same way to reach the outside world. A software factory is one workforce, binary decompilation another, and a business and its operations a third. Put enough of them together and nothing is left for a developer to do.
Built on a few ideas
Section titled “Built on a few ideas”Everything is a package
Libraries, apps, servers, resource providers and agentic workflows are all npm packages. Even each kind of package is a package, an abstract, so anyone can publish a new kind.
Packages compose
A package extends an abstract for how it ships, and declares the resources it needs instead of sharing code. Working together doesn’t require a monorepo.
Workflows, not prompts
An agentic workflow is code: each step is deterministic or one bounded agent call, retried on failure and measured. What must happen is enforced, not hoped for.
Jive holds the credentials
People, pipelines and agents hold only a session. Every key and token stays with Jive, behind one API.
