askjev

What askjev does

askjev packages a call to TypeSafe Jev as a Hermes skill. Jev is not a chat model. It returns Choice, Score or Noul answers together with probabilities, which gives an agent a structured basis for deciding whether to act on its own or hand the decision to a person.

The skill is a SKILL.md plus a scripts folder. scripts/askjev.py has a choice command that takes the current state, a question and labeled options, for example --option a='...' --option b='...'. scripts/eval.py runs a live reliability suite and needs the API key. The TYPESAFE_API_KEY goes in $HERMES_HOME/.env and should never be committed. Setting ASKJEV_DISABLED=1 in that file, or deleting the skill directory, turns the skill off. SKILL.md explains when to call Jev, the confidence gates and known pitfalls. The repository description says the skill is for Hermes and other agents.
