Automated README summary
Automatically summarized from the README on 8 Oct 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.
What it is
Nilo is a local router for simple requests using read-only CLI tools (System 1) and optionally a local Ollama model (System 2). It returns JSON and identifies the agent as "Nilo". Requires Python 3.10+ and Linux commands.
How it uses Jev
Nilo is inspired by JEV's typed-decision approach but does not use Jev. It separates routing decisions from execution: decide_query() returns an immutable RoutingDecision with action, reason, intent, and allowed command. It uses deterministic regex matching, not probabilities or model logits. Model choices never execute commands.
Technique worth stealing
Separate routing decisions from execution for inspectable, zero-token decisions.

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.
