# jev-use
**English** | [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md)
The best way for Claude Code, Codex, and [pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono)
to work with [Jev](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev):
hand the tasks that need no text output to Jev — faster steps, fewer
tokens, tasks done sooner and better.
It makes the LLM and Jev true collaborators: when content needs to be
written, the LLM takes over; when a step just needs a fast decision, Jev
executes it.
## Demos — real runs, 1× speed

Every demo is a rerunnable script in [bench/examples/](bench/examples);
all numbers, methodology, variance and caveats:
[bench/RESULTS.md](bench/RESULTS.md) · third-party measurements:
[docs/evidence.md](docs/evidence.md).
## Install
```bash
npx -y jev-use install # wires Claude Code, Codex, and pi — whichever it finds
```
Set one key in the environment your agent runs in (`JEV_BACKEND=mock` for
a keyless dry run):
| Provider | Env var |
| --- | --- |
| [TypeSafe direct](https://typesafe.ai/) | `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` |
| [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/typesafe/jev-1.13) | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` |
| [Vercel AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/jev) | `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` |
`npx -y jev-use doctor` checks the wiring. Judged state goes to the
provider you configure; `JEV_BACKEND=mock` stays local. Plugin form with
the routing skill and the PreToolUse gate:
[harness/claude-code](harness/claude-code/README.md) ·
[harness/codex](harness/codex/README.md).
## Use as a library
`npm i jev-use` — zero runtime dependencies on the judgment path:
```js
import { Jev, check, pick, rate } from "jev-use";
const jev = new Jev();
const { answers } = await jev.judge(state, {
next: pick("Next action?", { merge: "all green", rerun: "looks flaky", hold: "needs attention" }),
risk: rate("How risky?", ["routine", "worth a look", "incident"]),
passed: check("Did the run fully succeed?"),
});
// answers.next → { answer: "merge", confidence: 0.93, confidenceFrom: "reported", escalate: false }
```
Anything Jev can't or shouldn't decide comes back with `escalate: true`
and a typed reason. Tools, verdict shape, escalation contract, CLI:
[docs/reference.md](docs/reference.md).
## Small enough to read
| File | Job |
| --- | --- |
| [src/protocol.ts](src/protocol.ts) | Questions (`check`/`pick`/`rate`), verdicts, escalation reasons |
| [src/dispatch.ts](src/dispatch.ts) | Pre-call routing: what never reaches Jev |
| [src/judge.ts](src/judge.ts) | screen → backend → hand back what is unsure; `gate` |
| [src/jev.ts](src/jev.ts) | The `Jev` client over that engine |
| [src/redact.ts](src/redact.ts) | Credentials stripped from a gated action before it is sent |
| [src/backends/](src/backends) | TypeSafe, OpenRouter, Vercel, mock adapters |
| [src/server.ts](src/server.ts) | The two MCP tools |
| [src/cli.ts](src/cli.ts) | `install`, `serve`, `hook gate`, `doctor` |
| [skills/jev-use/SKILL.md](skills/jev-use/SKILL.md) | The routing rules the agent follows |
## Development
```console
$ npm run typecheck && npm test # unit tests incl. per-provider wire fixtures
$ npm run smoke # real MCP client ↔ built CLI over stdio
$ node bench/run.mjs # micro-benchmarks, your key and region
```
