Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@telepat/ideon) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Ideon

Ideon is a TypeScript CLI that turns an idea into one or more Markdown outputs, with optional generated images for article runs.

Features

End-to-end pipeline with stage visibility: planning, sections, image prompts, image rendering, and output assembly
Interactive terminal UI with clear per-stage status and summaries
Non-interactive fallback logging for CI and piped runs
Resume support through local stage checkpoints in .ideon/write/state.json
Config precedence across saved settings, job files, environment variables, and CLI flags
Secure secret storage in OS keychain (OpenRouter + Replicate tokens)
Runtime validation for generated plan and image prompt payloads
Retry + timeout hardening on OpenRouter requests

Installation

Prerequisites:

Node.js 20+
npm 10+

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run the CLI in development mode:

npm run dev -- --help

Getting Started

Configure credentials interactively:

npm run dev -- settings

Generate your first article:

npm run dev -- write "How small editorial teams can productionize AI writing"

Generate multi-output runs:

npm run dev -- write "How small editorial teams can productionize AI writing" --target article=1 --target x-post=2 --style professional

Run a safe pipeline dry run (no provider calls):

npm run dev -- write --dry-run "How AI changes technical publishing"

Core Commands

ideon settings
ideon write "An article idea"
ideon write --job ./job.json
ideon write --dry-run "An article idea"
ideon write resume
ideon delete my-article-slug
ideon preview

Preview Generated Articles

Serve the latest generated article locally with assets and open it in your browser:

npm run preview

This launches the new React preview app (served from dist/preview) and the preview API server.

You can also preview a specific article and choose a port:

npm run dev -- preview ./output/my-article.md --port 4173

If you are iterating on preview UI code in src/preview-app, rebuild client assets after UI changes:

npm run build:preview

Credentials

Live runs require:

IDEON_OPENROUTER_API_KEY
IDEON_REPLICATE_API_TOKEN

You can set these as environment variables, or save them via ideon settings (recommended).

Output

By default, Ideon writes:

Generation directories: /output/<timestamp>-<slug>/
Markdown outputs per target: article-1.md, x-1.md, linkedin-1.md, and others
Run artifacts per generation: job.json, generation.analytics.json
Local resume artifacts: .ideon/write/state.json

Development Scripts

npm run lint
npm test
npm run build
npm run preview
npm run pricing:refresh
