Workflow Agents

5Dive

5Dive is an MIT-licensed Shell framework that runs named AI agents as separate Linux users and systemd services, coordinating them through a shared Bash CLI, SQLite task backlog and human escalation channels.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use 5Dive when agent work needs to continue beyond an interactive terminal session and several agents must share work, hand off tasks or request human decisions from one server.

Who it is for

  • Teams building persistent AI-assisted engineering workflows.
  • Developers operating coding agents on a Linux server they control.
  • Builders needing agent handoffs, shared work queues and selected human approvals.

Documented uses

  • Run multiple named AI agents as supervised Linux services.
  • Coordinate tasks through a shared backlog.
  • Hand work from one agent to another.
  • Escalate selected decisions to a human through Telegram.
  • Separate agent processes and files using Unix users and isolation tiers.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository documents a Linux system with systemd and an agent-CLI subscription or API key. It provides an installer and an MIT license; no account with 5Dive is required according to the repository README. Telegram pairing is documented for the initial agent setup.

  • The operating model is built around Linux users, systemd, Bash, SQLite and journald rather than a separate orchestration broker.
  • Agent isolation and supervision depend on the host's Unix permissions and systemd configuration.
  • A custom task-routing API would require modification; the supplied implementation centers on the Bash CLI.
  • Human approval before selected handoffs is Likely compatible, while the exact approval configuration is not described.
  • Running each agent under a distinct Linux user and systemd service is Verified by the repository description.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install 5Dive and create a first agent

Set up 5Dive on a Linux server and create an initial agent connected to Telegram.

Before you start

  • A Linux box with systemd.
  • An agent-CLI subscription or API key, such as Claude Pro/Max or OpenAI access.
  • For Telegram pairing, a bot token from BotFather.

Steps

  1. Run the documented installer: curl -fsSL https://install.5dive.ai | sudo bash.

  2. Run sudo 5dive init and follow the wizard, including the Telegram bot token and pairing flow.

  3. For a scripted setup, run sudo 5dive agent create my-agent --type=claude --channels=telegram --telegram-token=.

  4. Pair the agent with sudo 5dive agent pair my-agent --code= when the bot returns a code.

Expected outcome

A first named agent is created as part of the server-based 5Dive setup, with Telegram pairing covered by the documented wizard or non-interactive path.

Guide limitations

  • The evidence documents installation and pairing steps, but does not establish a successful execution test or guarantee compatibility with a particular server or agent subscription.
