jev

jev is a skill for Claude Code from yorrick/agent-skills. It costs 189 tokens per session (1,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A model router that chooses a model size for each message and can be switched on, switched off, or checked for status. It sends messages to Jev, a service that estimates the smallest suitable model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route messages by estimated difficulty, inspect routing decisions, and manage the router for Claude Code, Codex, or opencode.
Why use it?
It removes the need to choose a model size manually for every message. It can also show how messages were classified and what they cost when that information is available.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jev scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (scripts/delegation.py, scripts/fork_check.py, scripts/jev_router.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Jev router switch

Run the router script in this skill's scripts/ directory with the user's word: on, off or status (no word means status).

uv run --quiet --script <this skill's directory>/scripts/jev_router.py status

Show the user the script's output as it is. It already carries the privacy reminder when the router is on. Do nothing else.

  • on needs, once, the shell file that exports OPENROUTER_API_KEY: add --key-file <path>. The path is remembered for later ons. If on fails because no key file is known, ask the user for the path. Never search for keys and never print one.
  • classify "<message>" ... sizes messages without routing anything and prints a table of what Jev picked and how sure it was. Add --harness codex or --harness opencode to use those harnesses' sizes.
  • JEV_ROUTER=off in a run's environment turns the router off for that run, whatever the switch says; JEV_ROUTER=on opts a headless run (claude -p, codex exec, opencode run) in, such as an eval.
  • mode shadow|capture|live (runs jev_router.py mode ...) sets the Claude Code cache-aware router's mode: shadow decides and logs but tells the session nothing, capture also saves a snapshot of each job it would delegate, and live tells the session to hand the job to a fresh subagent. Add --dir <path> with capture to change where snapshots are saved; a path with a space or a non-ASCII character is refused.

Fork check

The fork check replays the jobs the router selected in capture mode, both kept and delegated, to measure real cost, time and quality before turning on live mode. Run its commands from skills/jev/scripts/fork_check.py, in this order: check (restore-check new snapshots), list (snapshots and what each real turn did outside the machine), mark (mark a snapshot safe or skip to replay, or inconclusive to take a stuck job out of the report), replay (restore a marked snapshot into two clones and run keep and delegate; it also resumes a job an interrupted replay left behind), judge (a blind Codex verdict on the two results, whose copies leave out ignored files outside dependency folders and virtualenvs, and any copy of a restored secret such as .env; a result holding a link out of the repository is not judged), publish (push both results to a private copy and open the comparison PR), report (the fork check's pass or fail over its 20 jobs), and shadow (shadow-mode decisions against what really happened).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
