swift-jev

Swift library and CLI for Jev with enum-typed Choice, Noul and Score questions, plus an agent skill for coding agents.

CLIproductionMIT

Overview

swift-jev is a Swift library and command-line tool for TypeSafe's Jev. In the library, Choice questions are typed by Swift enums that conform to JevChoiceOptions with option descriptions, Noul questions can describe what true and false mean, and Score questions take ordered levels. A result builder sends all questions in one request; responses are read with require(question) returning the enum value or probability, plus confidence, per-option probabilities and an estimated cost. It needs Swift 6.2, supports Apple platforms (Linux is declared but not covered by CI), and has no dependencies.

The CLI takes a JSON request on a file or stdin and writes only the JSON response to stdout, validating questions before sending and accepting the key from the environment or a key file, never from arguments. A bundled Jev skill teaches coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and others) how to prepare a request and interpret the response, installable with npx skills add. Custom compatible endpoints are supported.

What the decision model decides

TypeQuestionAnswers
ChoiceWhich team should handle this customer inquiry?billing · technical · sales · account
Yes / noDoes this inquiry need to be handled today?—
ScoreHow frustrated is the customer?Calm and factual · Visibly annoyed · Angry, threatening to leave

How it works

  1. Declare questions with Swift types
  2. client.evaluate(state:) with a result builder
  3. Read typed answers, confidence and cost
  4. Or call the jev CLI with JSON from a script or agent

Strengths

  • Compile-time typed options via enums
  • No dependencies
  • CLI and agent skill for coding agents

Caveats

  • Linux untested
  • Requires Swift 6.2

Getting started

.package(url: "https://github.com/d-date/swift-jev", from: "1.0.0"), or swift run jev --input request.json with TYPESAFE_API_KEY set.

Frequently asked questions

How are choices typed?

As Swift enums conforming to JevChoiceOptions, so answers come back as enum values.

Can coding agents use it?

Yes, via the CLI and a bundled Jev skill.

Where does the key come from?

TYPESAFE_API_KEY or a key file, never from arguments or request JSON.
