Generic Source Generator

Date: 2026-05-14

Purpose

infospace-bench generate turns a local article, ebook-like file, or folder of knowledge sources into a manifest-backed infospace. It generalizes the Wealth/VSM pilot into an explicit workflow path with deterministic fixture support and an optional OpenRouter provider.

Deterministic Run

Use fixture responses for repeatable tests and demos:

infospace-bench generate from-source ./examples/article.md \
  --workspace . \
  --slug article-space \
  --name "Article Space" \
  --profile general-knowledge \
  --fixture-responses ./examples/responses.yaml \
  --apply

The command creates normalized source chunks, installs the selected profile, runs the declared workflows, writes entities, relations, evaluations, metrics, history, and a generation report, then registers artifacts in artifacts/index.yaml.

Stepwise Workflow

infospace-bench generate init ./book.epub \
  --workspace . \
  --slug book-space \
  --name "Book Space" \
  --profile general-knowledge \
  --max-chunks 3

infospace-bench generate plan ./infospaces/book-space --stage all
infospace-bench generate run ./infospaces/book-space \
  --fixture-responses ./responses.yaml
infospace-bench generate status ./infospaces/book-space

--max-chunks caps early experiments and provider cost. generate status shows chunk counts, generated artifact counts, evaluations, metrics, history, and stale source/profile inputs.

OpenRouter

Live model calls are explicit:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=...

infospace-bench generate run ./infospaces/book-space \
  --provider openrouter \
  --model openai/gpt-4o-mini \
  --stage all

Choose the --model value from OpenRouter model IDs. The API key is read from OPENROUTER_API_KEY; it is not written to infospace.yaml. Default tests never make live provider calls.

Resume

Use resume for interrupted or reviewed runs:

infospace-bench generate resume ./infospaces/book-space \
  --provider openrouter \
  --model openai/gpt-4o-mini

Unchanged completed runs are skipped. Use --force when you intentionally want to rerun completed work. Stale status is reported when source artifact digests or installed profile/template files change.

Review Path

After generation:

  • inspect artifacts/sources/ for normalized input chunks
  • inspect artifacts/entities/ and artifacts/relations/ for generated claims
  • inspect output/evaluations/ for rubric output
  • run infospace-bench validate <root> and infospace-bench graph <root>
  • review reports/generation-summary.md

Move from the generic profile to a specialized profile when the source domain needs stricter terminology, narrower extraction granularity, or a discipline lens such as VSM.
