Hivemind turns your traces into reusable skills across agents
Hivemind is a cloud-backed shared memory system for AI coding agents that captures session traces, codifies patterns into reusable skills, and propagates capabilities across teams. It integrates with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, pi, and Claude Cowork to automatically record every prompt, tool call, and response into structured traces stored in Deeplake. Background workers mine these traces to generate AI-written summaries and SKILL.md files that become available to every agent on the team, enabling one engineer's agent discoveries to instantly benefit all teammates. On the LoCoMo benchmark, Hivemind reduces costs by 25%, tokens by 1.7×, and turns by 31% versus agents without shared memory.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Enabling junior engineers' agents to learn from senior engineers' problem-solving patterns automatically
- 02Reducing duplicate work by surfacing how the team previously solved similar migration or debugging tasks
- 03Building a searchable knowledge base of team decisions, API designs, and architecture patterns from agent interactions
- 04Cutting agent API costs and token usage by reusing codified skills instead of re-deriving solutions each session
- 05Maintaining live codebase documentation that stays synchronized with actual agent usage patterns
- 06Enforcing team coding principles across all agents via shared rules injected at session start

hivemind — FAQ
What is Hivemind?+
Hivemind is a shared memory and skill distribution system for AI coding agents that captures session traces, mines them for patterns, and propagates reusable skills across your entire team. It works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, pi, and Claude Cowork.
How do I install Hivemind?+
On macOS/Linux run 'curl -fsSL https://deeplake.ai/hivemind.sh | sh', on Windows use 'irm https://deeplake.ai/hivemind.ps1 | iex', or install globally via npm with 'npm i -g @deeplake/hivemind && hivemind install'. The installer detects supported agents, wires hooks, and prompts for sign-in. Restart your agents after installation.
Which AI clients does Hivemind work with?+
Hivemind supports Claude Code (marketplace plugin), OpenClaw (native extension), Codex (hooks), Cursor 1.7+ (hooks), Hermes Agent (shell hooks + MCP), pi (extension API), and Claude Cowork Alpha (MCP server). Each integration provides auto-capture and auto-recall.
Do I need API keys or a Deeplake account?+
Yes, you need a Deeplake account for cloud storage of traces and skills. The installer guides you through browser-based sign-in, or you can pass HIVEMIND_TOKEN for headless environments. No separate LLM API keys are needed—background workers shell out to your existing agent CLI.
Is Hivemind free?+
The README does not specify pricing. Hivemind is backed by Activeloop/Deeplake and supports BYOC (bring your own cloud) options for GCS, Azure, and S3, suggesting enterprise deployment models.
How does Hivemind protect my data?+
All data is encrypted with AES-256 and transmitted over TLS. Workspace-level isolation prevents cross-org leakage. You can disable capture per-session with HIVEMIND_CAPTURE=false, opt out specific directories via .hivemind config files, or deploy BYOC to keep all data in your own cloud infrastructure.
How do I install hivemind?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. hivemind is a agent — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is hivemind free?+
hivemind is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
