Why Hive
The way product teams shape work has not kept up with how the work itself is done. Tickets, plans, and operational alerts each live in a different tool, and the loop between "what we want to build", "what we agreed to build", and "what is actually happening in production" only exists in the heads of the people who happen to be in the room.
That gap matters more as coding agents and LLM-driven workflows enter the picture. Agents need the same context that humans rely on, but that context is scattered across spec docs, project trackers, dashboards, and chat threads. Each tool understands only its own slice.
Hive Holds The Shape Of Product Work
Hive is a single Phoenix application that holds the shape of product work in one place:
- Specs capture intent, decisions, and the surface area of a piece of work in a form both humans and agents can read.
- Forage ingests operational signals such as Grafana alerts and threads them per product, so the same view that holds the plan also holds the operational reality.
- Authentication is delegated to OIDC providers so any team's identity setup works without bespoke integrations.
The goal is a small, opinionated surface that a team can adopt without adopting an entire methodology.
Run It Where You Want
Hive is licensed under MPL-2.0 and ships as a single image plus a generic Helm chart. Tuist runs the canonical instance at hive.tuist.dev, but the same artifacts let any team self-host.
