Terminal REPL for shaping TypeSafe AI System One requests: noul, choice and score questions, with a live sketch editor
Documentation
# jev

A terminal REPL for shaping [TypeSafe AI](https://typesafe.ai) System One requests before you
write any code: send a `state` plus named, typed questions and read the typed answers back.

```sh
cargo install jev-repl
jev            # with TYPESAFE_API_KEY for live answers; without it, answers are simulated
```

| Question | Answer                                                          |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `noul`   | probability of "yes" (0–1)                                      |
| `choice` | selected label, per-label probabilities, confidence             |
| `score`  | probability-weighted level, legend, per-level probabilities, confidence |

## Inside

```text
:preset triage                                   # a ready-made session to poke at
:state The payout failed again, third time.      # bare text works too
:noul is_urgent The message conveys urgency | yes: A deadline | no: Routine
:choice department Which team | billing=Payments | technical=Bugs
:score frustration How frustrated | Calm | Annoyed | Furious
<Enter>                                          # send; answers come back with their distributions
```

- `:lesson` walks an eleven-step track from "what is a noul" to what a call costs.
- `:sketch` (Ctrl-K) opens the whole request as one page of text, with the question types read
  off the punctuation, a gutter that says what each line became, and a live preview of the JSON,
  simulated answers, the same request as Rust, or what a call would cost:

  ```text
  The payout failed again, third time this month.
  ---
  is_urgent? The message conveys urgency
    yes: A deadline or a threat to leave
  department: Which team should handle this
    billing = Payment or subscription issues
    technical = Bugs or integration problems
  frustration: How frustrated the customer appears
    Calm < Frustrated but civil < Very angry
  ```

- `:build` opens a form for one question; `:json` shows the exact request body, `:last` the raw
  response, `:rust` the session as a program against
  [`typesafe-ai-sdk`]https://crates.io/crates/typesafe-ai-sdk.
- `:cost` says what a call is about to cost, per question and on both sides of the wire — a choice
  over eight labels comes back with eight probabilities, a score echoes its whole legend:

  ```text
                          in   out
  department   choice     74    58
  frustration  score      60    93
  is_urgent    noul       32    19
  state                   40     ·
  envelope                22    16
  total                  228   186   414 tokens per call
    $0.000232 per call   ·   $0.2316 per 1,000 calls
    at $0.20/$1.00 per Mtok
  ```

  Rates are yours to supply, because nothing here knows what a model charges: `:cost 0.20/1.00` is
  dollars per million tokens, input then output, and `JEV_PRICE=0.20/1.00` sets the same at
  startup. Without them the table counts tokens and stops there. Tokens are estimated from the
  body — roughly four characters a token — so they are a shape, not an invoice; a live answer
  carries the counted `usage`, and the REPL prices that instead.

- `:save triage.jev` / `:open triage.jev` keep sessions as sketch pages; other paths use the
  request JSON.

## Outside

A session shaped in the REPL and saved with `:save` is something a script can run. With a
subcommand `jev` never opens a terminal: it reads a page (or stdin), prints one thing, and says
with its exit status whether it worked — 0 when it did, 1 when the call or the file did not, 2 when
the command line did not parse.

```sh
jev run triage.jev                       # send it; the answers, with their distributions
jev run triage.jev --json | jq .answers  # the raw response body instead
jev json triage.jev                      # the exact request body it would POST
jev cost triage.jev --price 0.20/1.00    # the token table, priced
jev rust triage.jev                      # the session as a program against the SDK
jev check triage.jev                     # parse only: every problem, with line numbers
```

The file is a `.jev` page or a request body, and which one it is comes from the text rather than
the name, so a body piped back in works the same: `jev json page.jev | jev cost`. `-`, or no file
at all, reads stdin.

```sh
jev run triage.jev --state "$(cat ticket.txt)" --json | jq '.answers.is_urgent.noul'
```

`--state <text>` sets or replaces the state, `--model <name>` picks the model, `--threshold <0-1>`
says what counts as a yes for a noul, `--price <in>/<out>` prices the table, `--timeout <seconds>`
bounds a live attempt, and `--mock` stays offline even with a key set. Without a key `jev run`
simulates the answers and says so on stderr, so the stdout of a mock run is still the answer page.

Without `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` it starts in mock mode: answers are simulated locally (deterministic,
not predictive) so the shapes can be learned offline. `:key <api-key>` switches to live calls.
