EVO IDE
The Only Coding AI That Lets You Watch It Think.
Live reasoning. Live telemetry. Nothing hidden in a black box.
PROTOTYPE · IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
AI Coding Tools Are Black Boxes
No visibility
You see the final code, never the reasoning that produced it.
Cloud-only by default
Your prompts and files leave your machine with no alternative.
Fragmented output
Multi-file patches you have to stitch together yourself.
No sense of "health"
No signal for whether a generation is going well until it fails.
What if the IDE showed its work?
Not just a wall of prose reasoning -- actual live signals: token velocity, syntax validity, whether code fences are closed, how the generation is trending, all while it’s still writing.

Meet Evo IDE
Five things that make it genuinely different today.
Reason First
A live <think> trace streams before any code is written
Monolithic Output
One complete file per turn -- never a stub
Live Telemetry
Watch velocity, health, and token counts as it works
Sandboxed
Jailed writes, atomic saves, timestamped backups
Local or API
Run fully offline, or connect a hosted model

It Reasons Before It Writes
Every turn streams a live reasoning trace inside a <think> block -- visible in its own Reasoning tab, before code appears.
The reasoning stream survives a tag torn across chunk boundaries
A turn with no reasoning at all is flagged, not silently accepted
You can read the model’s plan before its code ever touches a file
<think>�The user wants a web scraper for a�product listing page. I should check�for pagination before assuming a�single page holds every item, and�use a session so headers persist�across requests.�</think>��File: scraper.py

FILE PER TURN
no stubs, no elisions
One Prompt. One Complete File.
A second file in one turn is treated as a violation, not a style choice
Placeholder markers like "...rest unchanged..." are rejected outright
What you get back is a whole, runnable file -- not a diff you have to reassemble

Watch It Think, Not Just Read About It
A live telemetry panel runs alongside every generation -- pulled straight from the running app.
VELOCITY
tok/s
live while streaming
peak
highest burst
ttft
time to first token
avg
session average
TOKEN VELOCITY
think / code split
Separately tracked -- so you can see how much time goes to planning versus producing the actual file.
think
code
elapsed
HEALTH
Syntax valid
Fences closed
Frame count
Loss trend
A single glance tells you whether a generation is trending healthy -- before it finishes.

Every Write Is Jailed. Every Save Is Backed Up.
Jailed writes
Absolute paths and directory traversal are rejected outright.
Atomic saves
Temp file + replace -- never a half-written file on disk.
Timestamped backups
Every overwrite leaves a recoverable copy behind.
Opt-in execution
Nothing runs automatically -- you choose when code executes.

Run It Local. Or Connect an API.
The backend is a choice, not a lock-in.
LOCAL
Point it at a local Ollama daemon and nothing you write ever leaves the machine.
Fully offline · no API key · no usage sent anywhere
API
Or connect a hosted model over an API when you want more horsepower than your machine offers.
Same interface, same telemetry, same safety rails -- only the backend changes

What You Can Build With It
One line in. One working file out.
Web scraper
"scrape this product page and export to CSV"
A full website
"build a landing page for a coffee shop"
CLI tool
"build a csv → sqlite loader with a CLI"
API client
"write a client for this REST API"
Data pipeline
"parse these logs and summarize errors"
Automation script
"rename and organize files by date"

Where It Stands Today
An honest split between what’s working now and what’s still being built.
WORKING TODAY
Live reasoning trace (<think>)
Monolithic single-file output
Live telemetry panel
Sandboxed, jailed, backed-up writes
Local + API-connected backends
IN DEVELOPMENT
Self-repair on traceback (not yet reliable)
Multi-file project awareness
Broader template library
Plugin / tooling ecosystem
