Akumos Platform

Akumos Platform is a prompt engineering assistant engine — a code template engine with enhanced templates and integrations.

It enables developers to quickly scaffold, compile, and manage template-driven projects using a command-line interface.

🚀 Note: This README assumes familiarity with CLI tools and Node.js ecosystems. If you're exploring alternatives to template engines (e.g., Yeoman, Slush), see the “Alternatives & Comparisons” section below.

🧠 Key Concepts

At its core, Akumos provides:

A template engine to generate project scaffolds.

CLI tooling for project initialization and compilation.

A structure optimized for modular and reusable templates.

Examples to jump-start development.

🛠️ Features

Project bootstrapping (akumos init)

Template compilation (akumos cp)

Integration-ready with custom templates and workflows

Minimal dependencies and easy extendability

Example projects included under examples/

📦 Prerequisites

Before installing, make sure you have:

Node.js (v14+ recommended)

npm (bundled with Node.js)

📥 Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/akumosstl/akumosstl-platform.git
cd akumosstl-platform

Then install globally:

sudo npm install -g .

🚀 Getting Started

After installation, you can create a new project:

Create and navigate to a new directory:

mkdir my-app && cd my-app

Initialize the project:

akumos init

Compile/templates:

akumos cp

The engine generates an output in the build/ directory by default.

📁 Project Structure

Typical structure of an Akumos scaffold:

hello-world/
├─ app/
├─ build/
├─ config/
├─ libs/
├─ src/
├─ tmpl/
├─ main.js
└─ project.json

app/: Runtime artifacts

build/: Generated code

config/: Configuration files (.json)

libs/: Support modules

src/: Source code for templates

tmpl/: Templating assets

main.js: Entry point

project.json: Project metadata

📘 Examples

Check the examples/ folder for ready-to-run sample projects.

cd examples/hello-world
akumos cp

This demonstrates a typical Akumos project lifecycle.

🧪 Testing & Validation

Include test commands here if available — currently none are provided.

If you plan to add tests or CI, consider using standard tools like:

Jest (unit tests)

ESLint + Prettier (static analysis)

GitHub Actions for automation

❓ Alternatives & Comparisons

Akumos occupies a similar problem space as:

Tool Approach Notes Yeoman Generator CLI More ecosystem plugins, larger community Slush Stream-based templating Flexible but less opinionated Cookiecutter Python-based templating Great for polyglot scaffolds Plop.js Micro-generator Lightweight for specific templates

Unlike some of these, Akumos focuses on a template-engine CLI with integrated project structure without heavy external dependencies.
