What it is
Distill is a lightweight coding agent harness and TUI for developers, working with Grok and Codex subscriptions and any OpenAI-compatible model, built to get far more done with far fewer tokens.
How it uses Jev
Jev selects a model and effort, routes bounded utility tasks, and judges what context to retain. Code constrains the choices and validates utility results; failed or low-confidence decisions leave the normal path in place. Jev does not decide tool permissions.
Primitives:choicescore
Technique worth stealing
Constrain Jev's choices in code and validate its utility results, falling back to the normal path on failure or low confidence.

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.
