@xevion/tempo

Composable primitives and config-driven runners that replace scattered shell scripts with type-safe, structured tooling. Works with Bun, Node.js (22+), and Deno.

Install

bun add -d @xevion/tempo    # or npm/pnpm/yarn

Quick Start

Create a tempo.config.ts in your project root:

import { defineConfig, presets } from "@xevion/tempo";

export default defineConfig({
  subsystems: ["app", "api"],
  check: {
    commands: [
      presets.biome.check(),
      { label: "Type Check", command: "bunx tsc --noEmit" },
    ],
  },
  dev: {
    processes: [
      { label: "App", command: "bun run --hot src/index.ts" },
    ],
  },
});

Then run via the CLI:

tempo check        # parallel checks with spinner UI
tempo dev          # managed dev processes
tempo fmt          # sequential formatting
tempo lint         # sequential linting
tempo pre-commit   # staged-file formatter
tempo run <name>   # custom commands

Architecture

Two layers:

• Primitives — low-level utilities (ProcessGroup, run, runPiped, BackendWatcher, etc.) exported via subpath imports for use in custom scripts
• Runners — config-driven orchestrators invoked through the tempo CLI that handle check, dev, fmt, lint, pre-commit, and custom command workflows

Presets

Built-in presets for common toolchains:

Preset	Toolchain
presets.biome	Biome + SvelteKit
presets.rust	cargo check, clippy, test, fmt
presets.go	vet, staticcheck, test, gofumpt
presets.gradle	Gradle/Kotlin (detekt, test, ktlintFormat)

Subpath Exports

Import specific primitives without pulling in the full package:

import { ProcessGroup, run, runPiped } from "@xevion/tempo/proc";
import { newestMtime, ensureFresh } from "@xevion/tempo/preflight";
import { resolveTargets, isAll } from "@xevion/tempo/targets";
import { BackendWatcher } from "@xevion/tempo/watch";
import * as fmt from "@xevion/tempo/fmt";
import { createOctocovConfig } from "@xevion/tempo/octocov";

Custom Commands

Define reusable commands with typed flags that work both via tempo run and direct execution:

import { defineCommand } from "@xevion/tempo";

export default defineCommand(
  {
    name: "seed",
    description: "Seed the database",
    flags: {
      count: { type: "number", default: 100, description: "Number of records" },
      reset: { type: "boolean", default: false, description: "Reset before seeding" },
    },
    run: async ({ flags, group, run }) => {
      if (flags.reset) await run(group, "bun run db:reset");
      await run(group, `bun run db:seed --count ${flags.count}`);
      return 0;
    },
  },
  import.meta.main,
);
