Usage

Read a POEM

"Read this poem file and explain what it does"

The poem_read tool parses .poem files into structured elements (constants, structs, functions, enums, etc).

Validate a POEM

"Validate this poem spec"

Checks for syntax errors, naming convention compliance, and structural completeness.

Translate a POEM

"Translate this poem to Python"

The tool parses and validates the spec, then provides a structured translation brief with language-specific type mappings. The LLM then generates idiomatic code.

Supported targets: Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, Swift, Kotlin, SQL, and any other language.

Example

// pricing.poem
const TAX_RATE = 0.21;

struct Product {
  name: string;
  price: float;
}

fn total(p: Product, qty: int) -> float {
  return p.price * qty * (1 + TAX_RATE);
}

Ask: "Translate to Go" and get:

const TAX_RATE = 0.21

type Product struct {
    Name  string
    Price float64
}

func Total(p Product, qty int64) float64 {
    return p.Price * float64(qty) * (1 + TAX_RATE)
}
