Syntax

scoutica preview [directory]

​
Options

​
directory
string
Path to a directory containing your generated Skill Card files (profile.json, rules.yaml, evidence.json). Defaults to the current directory.

​
What it does

scoutica preview reads your generated card files, compiles them into a responsive, Neo-Brutalist HTML page, and instantly publishes it to the web via here.now — a free, instant web host for AI agents. The command:
  1. Reads profile.json, rules.yaml, and evidence.json from the target directory
  2. Generates a styled index.html in a .preview/ subdirectory
  3. Publishes the .preview/ directory to here.now
  4. Prints the live public URL in your terminal

​
Usage examples

# Preview the card in the current directory
scoutica preview

# Preview a card in a specific folder
scoutica preview ./my-card/

​
Prerequisites

The here.now publisher must be installed. Install it with: 
curl -fsSL https://here.now/install.sh | bash

​
Auto-preview after scan

When here.now is installed, scoutica scan automatically chains into scoutica preview after a successful card generation. You get the live URL without running a second command: 
scoutica scan ~/CV/ --with gemini
# → generates card files
# → automatically builds and publishes preview
# → prints live URL

Expected output

  → Compiling Neo-Brutalist HTML presentation...
  ✅ Generated Neo-Brutalist HTML
  → Publishing to the web via here.now...
