What it does

Jev Guard is an agent skill from autonomous-ai/openharness. Fix a broken module under the live eye of Jev Guard, where Jev (TypeSafe's System One model) scores your own edits for progress, risk and trust.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The ultimate harness for coding agents and beyond. All your agents. All your machines. One command center. Start with code, then follow your curiosity and build across… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/jev-guard”

Requirements

  • A credential in TYPESAFE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Edit project/score.js (that's the work). Jev Guard auto-judges on each edit, or step it with
  2. Watch the meters: toward (progress), trust (Jev's confidence in the exact change), risk
  3. Iterate until node project/test.js prints ALL TESTS PASS and the viewer verdict reads as

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 74c2733. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TYPESAFE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jev Guard loads about 590 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 268 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~590

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Fix a broken module under the live eye of Jev Guard, where Jev (TypeSafe's System One model) scores your own edits for progress, risk and trust.

Jev Guard fix-under-watch

Jev Guard runs the test suite in project/ on every edit and asks Jev (TypeSafe's System One model) to judge each change: how much closer to the goal, how risky, how confident. The pane draws those as meters, a history chart and a run log. The goal is to make the tests pass and the verdict go green with a fix Jev trusts.

The loop

  1. Edit project/score.js (that's the work). Jev Guard auto-judges on each edit, or step it with "Judge now" / node "$JEV_DSH/toolchain/check.mjs".
  2. Watch the meters: toward (progress), trust (Jev's confidence in the exact change), risk (a red flag on a shaky edit). The run log shows PASS/FAIL per test run with what changed.
  3. Iterate until node project/test.js prints ALL TESTS PASS and the viewer verdict reads as a passing/green judgment.

Reading Jev

Jev's scores are layered on real test results: the suite is the ground truth, Jev is the overlay. A focused, honest fix — correct logic, nothing special-cased, nothing extra — is what reads as high trust / low risk. A hack that greps the test names or returns constants will pass the tests but Jev's risk meter will go red.

Verifying

  • node "$JEV_DSH/toolchain/check.mjs" validates the workspace (goal.json + project/test.js present and runnable).
  • node project/test.js is the real check: exit 0 + ALL TESTS PASS is done.
  • Watch the viewer verdict flip to a green/god-met judgment, not just the tests passing.

Driving Jev yourself

toolchain/jev.mjs exports a small client. Example (from the workspace) — ask Jev's opinion on an implementation choice:

bash
node --input-type=module -e '
import { evaluate, jev } from "$JEV_DSH/toolchain/jev.mjs";
const res = await evaluate({
  state: "Implement sumTo(5) by looping, vs a closed-form n*(n+1)/2. Which is more likely a correct, maintainable fix for a tiny module?",
  questions: {
    risky: jev.score({0:"safe",1:"risky",2:"reckless"}, "How risky is switching to the closed-form?"),
  },
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(res.answers, null, 2));
'

Without TYPESAFE_API_KEY this uses the deterministic mock; set the key to hit live Jev.
