evoke-build/reflexes

The first-party reflexes for evoke: what a Mac does at a word. The word is decided by Jev, TypeSafe AI's classifier. Each reflex is one directory, with reflex.toml and the file it runs, where it runs one. There is nothing to build. Eleven of the thirteen run a file and need Node 24 or newer on your PATH; open and trash run a program the Mac has.

Yours to set

A reflex that needs your words or a setting for a required argument stays inactive until it has them. evoke says which line gives it what it needs. places names your folders, and each word's value is its full path. sites names your sites, and each value is its URL. download runs without places; with it, a place you name.

evoke vocab places add desktop "The desktop." --value /Users/you/Desktop
evoke vocab sites add github "GitHub." --value https://github.com
evoke config note file ~/notes.txt

Writing one

evoke new <name> writes a working reflex to start from. evoke check reads the manifest, loads the body, and writes reflex.d.ts, the one file a body imports. The whole craft is in the manual. Here, npm ci then npm run check and npm test type-check every body and run the tests. Licence: MIT. Issues and changes: evoke-build/evoke.
