output-formats.json

Output configurations.

The output-format.json file lives in the root of the project folder. This file contains definitions of output formats that can be used by the ai-writer command.

The output-formats.json file contains a JSON object with the following structure:

{
    "format-name": {
        "extension": "extension",
        "wrappedExtension": "wrapped-extension",
        "wrapSize": 80
    }
}

The extension field is the extension of the output file. The wrappedExtension field is the extension of the wrapped output file. The wrapSize field is the number of characters per line in the wrapped output file.

The wrappedExtension and wrapSize fields are optional. A wrappedExtension is only relevant for text files. The wrapSize field is only relevant for text files and is used to wrap the output text file to a maximum number of characters per line. By default, the `output-formats.json`` file contains the following output formats:

{
    "txt": {
        "extension": "txt",
        "wrappedExtension": "wrapped.txt",
        "wrapSize": 80
    }
}

On execution of a recipe, the default output format can be overridden using the --output-format option of the ai-writer command. For example, to use the txt model, execute for example the following command:

npx ai-writer eli5 --topic elephant --output-format txt --output eli5/elephant
