Use after any web or API search, before opening results or spending another round. Jev picks which results to read, whether the evidence is enough, and which query to run next from ones you wrote.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Searching with Jev
A research turn is usually three decisions and one piece of writing:
- which of the results to actually open (the other thirty are noise),
- whether what has been read answers the question, or another round is needed,
- which query to run next.
Those are picks and a yes/no. Jev answers them in about half a second for a fraction of a cent, and the expensive model is left to do the writing — which is the only part of this Jev cannot do. **Jev never writes a query.** You write the candidates; Jev picks one or says none of them would add anything.
`jev search` runs one round of that loop and hands back the decision. Use it instead of guessing, and instead of burning a frontier turn on "should I search again?".
## Do this
1. Search the way you always do (`web_search`, an API, a site). Give it the question, and write two to five candidate queries for the next round if this one is not enough.
2. Run one round:
```bash
echo '{"question":"what does the decision API cost",
"queries_tried":["decision model pricing"],
"candidate_queries":["typesafe pricing page","decision api rate limits","free tier"],
"round_index":1,

How to install
mdr add kerpopule/hermes-jev-skills/jev-search@sha256:43746f730f67b757The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
