typesafe-cli (y0usaf)

Shell command, jev, that asks Jev noul, choice and score questions about piped text and prints numbers.

Overview

typesafe-cli provides a jev command for the shell. You pipe or pass state and ask a noul (probability of yes), a choice (one of your options plus confidence) or a score (a position on your rubric, which can land between levels). An ask command sends many questions in one request; the README notes this costs one round trip of about 0.3 s rather than one per question.

It runs on Node 22.18+, directly from TypeScript source in a checkout or via nix run, or installed from npm. A Nix flake exposes a package for system configurations. The key is resolved from flags, environment variables, a key file, or the config used by the author's pi-jev extension, so one key file serves both.

How it works

  1. Pipe text into jev with a question.
  2. Jev answers in one request.
  3. The command prints the probability, choice or score.
  4. Scripts branch on the numbers.

Strengths

  • Several questions in one round trip with ask.
  • Runs from source without a build; Nix flake available.
  • Shares key config with the pi-jev extension.

Caveats

  • Requires Node 22.18+.
  • Needs a TypeSafe key.
