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"
