What it is
ask-jev is a zero-dependency Python CLI that routes small semantic judgments to Jev for AI coding agents and CLI pipelines. It supports closed-set selection, evidence checks, ordered ratings, mixed questions over one state, and verbatim passage selection.
How it uses Jev
Jev makes Choice, Noul, and Score judgments on a supplied state (observations and instructions). Results are returned as probabilities with confidence; the calling agent retains reasoning, verification, and action authority. Without both environment gates, judgments return answer: null and purification returns the full original text.
Primitives:choicenoulscore
Technique worth stealing
Use separate Noul questions for labels that can all apply; use Choice only for mutually exclusive alternatives.
Try it
Set TYPESAFE_API_KEY and HARNESS_JEV_ALLOW_REMOTE=1, then run python3 scripts/ask_jev.py choose/check/score/purify/batch.
Evidence
Each line is one question put to Jev about the README. ≥ 0.60 reads as yes, ≤ 0.40 as no; in between Jev is not making a call.
