Continuous editorial operations, governed by design¶
ZEO Creator turns observations into evolving stories, frozen dossiers, agendas, editions, governed content and producer-neutral delivery contracts.
zeocreator==0.5.4 installs from PyPI on Python 3.14+. Run
python -m zeo_creator.examples.email_marketing for campaigns, newsletters and
sequences across three isolated publications, entirely offline.

One coherent path from observation to accountable publication¶

-
:material-file-tree:{ .lg .middle } Typed end to end
Strict Pydantic contracts reject stale digests, mixed publication scope, and credential-shaped fields before downstream work begins.
-
:material-puzzle:{ .lg .middle } Bring any producer
Content briefs express intent. Generic manifests describe artifact bundles. Opaque extensions let private adapters evolve without leaking their schemas.
-
:material-shield-check:{ .lg .middle } Approve exact content
Reviews bind artifacts, payloads, destinations, and schedules into one deterministic digest. Governed changes require fresh approval.
-
:material-connection:{ .lg .middle } Supply observations
Collect observations through Runtime and Zeocore before invoking Creator. Pass normalized evidence and safe references into the editorial capabilities.
Composable capability families¶
| Stage | Capability family | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Observe | Research synthesis and signal extraction | Publication-scoped evidence and developments |
| Remember | Story revision and dossier construction | Evolving truth plus frozen editorial packages |
| Decide | Agenda, edition, and portfolio planning | Explicit selections, rejections, slots and prominence |
| Create | Brief, commentary, newsletter and article composition | Producer/provider-neutral drafts |
| Review | Commentary, newsletter, journalism and artifact checks | Digest-bound, fail-closed review records |
| Distribute and learn | Publication proposals and performance assessment | No provider write; separate publication learning |
Designed boundaries¶
ZEO Creator owns editorial contracts and stateless transformations. It does not own credentials, OAuth, scheduling, workflow state, rendering, billing, approval authority, or provider execution.
