 # Hive Commons
 
-**Hive Commons** is the umbrella community for **Hive** — an AI-agent fleet orchestration system that runs governed swarms of coding agents against real repositories: a multi-tenant hub, hosted spokes, ACMM maturity-model governance, audited agent attribution, and formally verified coordination protocols.
+**Hive Commons** is a family of open source tools for working with AI coding agents. **Hive** manages work across your projects. **Crux** runs the agents and can be used on its own.
