Practical guides for common hive workflows and integrations.

Code Review

Two multi-agent review patterns using hive's tmux window spawning and messaging primitives. Both open a dedicated set of windows on the current session — no separate session needed.

Sequential Chain Review

Serial — each agent reads and challenges the previous. Best for thorough adversarial analysis where you want reviewers to explicitly refute each other; contradictions get resolved rather than buried.

Parallel Code Review

Parallel specialists plus a coordinator. Best for fast feedback with active coordination: both specialists run simultaneously and the leader drives targeted follow-up rounds.

Inter-Agent Code Review

Spin up a dedicated reviewer agent via inbox messaging. Your session sends context, the reviewer analyzes the branch, and feedback comes back through pub/sub — no manual coordination needed.

Context Management

Git-backed Context

Store plans and research documents in a git repository by pointing context.base_dir at a dedicated repo. Gives you full history, diffs, and cross-machine sharing for all your .hive/ documents.

Automation

Ralph Loop

Work through an hive hc epic backlog autonomously — runs a fresh Claude process per task, retrying until quality gates pass before moving on.
