## What jev-sift does, in the publisher's words

Let Jev decide what your agent should look at next.

Pass a query and a batch of file paths, public webpage URLs, or text. Jev Sift reads the content, sends it directly to Jev, and returns compact relevance probabilities. Your main agent only opens the items worth a closer look.

Tool descriptions work too: pass a tool's description, arguments, and relevant context as text to judge whether calling it would help. This evaluates the supplied description; it does not execute the tool or predict its unseen result.

- Boolean: yes-probability from 0 to 1. Mapped to Jev's native noul question type.
- Choice: one named option, including Jev's probability distribution and confidence when returned.
- Score: position on an ordered rubric, including Jev's distribution, confidence, and legend when returned. Three levels means a score from 0 to 2.

## Skills

- jev-sift: Use Jev to decide which files, webpages, tool descriptions, messages, or search results deserve the agent's attention. Screen batches against a query without loading full file or page contents into the main context first.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- jev-sift: transport: stdio; command: node ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/server.mjs

Read from the plugin's own mcp.json. Environment variable names only, never values.
