Differences from M.A.V.E.N

Count
Carried over whole 18 Every control, every tab, every picker.
Folded into another app 4 Behaviour survives; the sidebar entry does not.
Left in M.A.V.E.N 4 This product is about what a team shares.
New in Teams 7 Everything built on the event log.

A unit test (carryOver) holds that list next to an assertion: a route promised to carry over that does not exist fails the suite.

Ad-Forge, AI Mastermind, D-Forge, G-Forge, Health, M-Forge, Media Library, Memory, N-Forge, P-Forge, R-Forge, S-Forge, SEO-Forge, Telemetry, Thumbnails, VC-Forge, X-Forge - and the top-bar chrome: the Model Manager that every picker reads, alerts, help, health, secrets, the command palette, the running-tasks badge, the update banner and the language switch. Where the Teams design showed fewer controls than M.A.V.E.N had, M.A.V.E.N won.

  • Loop, Pipeline and Kanban → Workflows. One shape: an ordered list of steps, some of which wait for a person. Existing state is not converted; recreate the ones you still want.
  • Hermes Swarm → a tab inside Hermes. A swarm is Hermes running many at once; as a separate rail entry it looked like an unrelated product. The agent roster moved the same way, from /agents/… into an Agents tab.

Game Studio, Music, Open Design, OpenMontage, Paperclip. The first four are personal creative tools; nothing about them gets better when a second person can see the screen. Paperclip is an embedded tracker on another port, and Teams grew its own patch queue - Git & Review - where a merge is a decision on the log; two trackers side by side is exactly the split-brain this product exists to remove.

Chat (the merged consoles, as in M.A.V.E.N ≥ 6.14 - minus OmniRoute, which routes to engines and would make “which model am I talking to” ambiguous), Channels, Workflows, Search, Audit log, Local / Cloud, Hermes as its own rail entry, Git & Review, and a Settings that holds Relay, keys and models in one place.

M.A.V.E.N’s sidebar has six sections and lists every agent and every model as a destination. Teams has four groups - WORKSPACE, BUILD, FORGE, SYSTEM - and no vendors in any of them. The models moved into the Model Manager; the agents moved inside Hermes.

Teams keeps its state in ~/.maven-teams, not ~/.maven - the two share seventeen filenames, settings.json among them. Bring your keys across by copying .env.local; nothing else carries over, and nothing in M.A.V.E.N is touched by installing Teams next to it. Both can run on one machine: M.A.V.E.N on :3000, Teams on :3400.
