Eve Content Agent Template
A Slack-based content assistant built on Eve. Writers @mention it in Slack and it drafts blog posts, LinkedIn posts, release notes, and newsletters in your house voice, pulling source material from Notion and publishing approved pieces back to Notion as the signed-in writer.
- Lives in Slack. Answers @mentions and DMs, replies in threads, and renders approvals as buttons.
- Writes in your voice. One editable style skill per surface (blog, LinkedIn, release notes, newsletter), enforced by a deterministic style-lint tool.
- Grounded in Notion. Each writer signs in to their own Notion through Vercel Connect, so drafts are created as the real person with their own permissions, with no shared secret.
- Stores files in Vercel Blob. Export drafts, save images and attachments, and read them back, authenticated by the project's OIDC token.
Deploy
Deploying with the button provisions everything the agent needs and wires it up for you:
- a Slack connector (sets
SLACK_CONNECTOR, with the event trigger pointed at/eve/v1/slack), - a Notion connector (sets
NOTION_CONNECTOR), - a Vercel Blob store for the asset tools.
Once deployed, @mention the bot in your Slack workspace to start drafting.
Tech stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Agent framework | Eve |
| Language | TypeScript (strict, ESM) |
| Chat surface | Slack, via Vercel Connect |
| Source & publishing | Notion (MCP), user-scoped OAuth via Vercel Connect |
| File storage | Vercel Blob, authenticated by OIDC |
| Model access | Vercel AI Gateway (default: Claude Opus 4.8) |
| Sandbox | Vercel Sandbox |
| Lint & format | Ultracite (Biome) |
Zero static keys. Authentication runs entirely on Vercel Connect
(Slack and Notion) and Vercel OIDC (Vercel Blob and AI
Gateway). There are no API keys or client secrets to manage in code or .env files: Notion is
authorized per writer in the browser, and Blob and the model authenticate with the project's
OIDC token.

Local development
Link the project you deployed (or a fresh one) and pull its environment:
vercel linkvercel env pull
Then run the development server and link a model provider with /model in the TUI:
pnpm dev
You can chat with the agent directly in the dev TUI to test the drafting, style-lint, Notion, and Blob flows. The Slack surface itself only runs against a deployment. Ship changes with:
eve deploy
Linting and formatting
This project uses Ultracite (a Biome preset) for linting and formatting:
pnpm check # check formatting and lint rulespnpm fix # auto-fix what is fixable
Setting up the connectors by hand
The Deploy button provisions these for you. To set them up manually (for a project you didn't create with the button), use the Vercel CLI:
# Notion connector (note the printed UID, e.g. mcp.notion.com/notion -> NOTION_CONNECTOR)vercel connect create mcp.notion.com --name notion# Slack connector (note the UID, e.g. slack/<name> -> SLACK_CONNECTOR), then point its# event trigger at the route the agent servesvercel connect create slack --name <name> --triggersvercel connect attach slack/<name> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack# Blob store, connected to the project for all environmentsvercel blob create-store <name> --access public --yes
Customizing
- Voice: edit the per-surface skills in
agent/skills/*/SKILL.md, and thereferences/banned-words.jsoneach one lints against. Add a new surface by adding a new skill folder. - Behavior: edit
agent/instructions.md. - Model: edit
agent/agent.ts(or run/modelin the dev TUI). - Tools: add or change tools in
agent/tools/. The filename is the tool name.
The agent auto-updates as you edit these files.
