Automated README summary
Automatically summarized from the README on 1 Nov 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.
What it is
Jev RAG is a local-first knowledge search engine for a folder of documents. It offers seven selectable retrieval pipelines, reranks candidate passages with Jev, and streams grounded answers with file citations.
How it uses Jev
Jev answers batched Noul questions about passage relevance and answer support. Python owns thresholds, ordering, caching, and whether evidence reaches the answering model.
Primitives:noul
Technique worth stealing
Vector-free RAG: BM25 shortlists passages, Jev reranks them, and Python controls thresholds and evidence gating.
Try it
Run `python3 local_kb.py --documents ./docs --db .knowledge/quickstart.db index` then `search 'retrieval' --no-jev` for the BM25-only demo.
Model judgments from README excerpts
Project signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and the first 700 README characters, not the full project. “Not found” means not detected in that material; it does not establish absence. These are the original judgments with recorded models and dates, not source audits or run results.

Evidence
These signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and at most 700 cleaned README characters. ≥ 0.60 means reported in that excerpt; ≤ 0.40 means not found there. The middle band is inconclusive. None is a source-code audit or a test result. The runnable-tool question excludes research experiments; the recommendation question asks for a learning shortlist, not a quality verdict.
