HivemindOS manual
Separate Hive Superbrain workspaces
Most people need only the default Main shared brain workspace. Create another workspace when the separation itself matters, not simply because you started another project.
Each workspace has its own memory, skill collection, and saved keys. Work done in one workspace does not automatically carry into another.
Open the workspace chooser
In the HivemindOS sidebar, select the workspace name directly beneath the HivemindOS mark.
The chooser shows every available workspace as a tile. Select a tile to switch; HivemindOS reloads into that workspace so the whole dashboard uses the right memory, skills, and saved keys.
Create a workspace
Open the workspace chooser and select New workspace. Enter a name, then select Create workspace.
HivemindOS prepares the separate workspace and opens it immediately. You do not need to choose folders or configure anything else.
Switching workspaces never merges, moves, or deletes the contents of either workspace.
When to create one
Create a separate workspace when:
- Two clients must not share memory or saved keys.
- A bot needs a narrow brain and skill set.
- A team needs its own shared context.
- An experiment should be easy to discard without touching your main brain.
For ordinary work, keep the project in your Main shared brain. That gives agents shared context without creating another set of skills and keys to maintain.
Use workspaces from a terminal
Show the active workspace:
hive-workspace
Add one with guided prompts:
hive-workspace-add
Switch with the arrow-key chooser:
hive-workspace-switch
For automation, pass a workspace id to a command:
HIVE_WORKSPACE_ID=support-bot hive-brain answer "latest commitments"
