Getting started
From zero to your first draft in about two minutes.
Requirements
- Node ≥ 20
- git
Install
npm install -g beacon-bip
Set up
beacon init
The guided setup asks only for your provider and API key — voice and language are one optional step you can skip and set later. It then installs the post-commit hook in your repo and drafts from your latest commit before setup finishes — so you see the result immediately.
Then just work
Commit as usual. When there's something worth posting, Beacon queues drafts in the background. Review them whenever you like — in the terminal or in your browser:
git commit -m "feat: the thing you built"
beacon review # terminal
beacon ui # browser (localhost only)
Nothing posts automatically. Approving a draft copies it to your clipboard — Beacon has no credentials for your social accounts.
