Jev API starter checklist: ten decisions worth wiring first
Lists ten Jev decision points, including loop exit, model routing, merge gate, command guard and relevance filtering, and suggests running in shadow mode for a week before setting thresholds.
Jev is getting picked up everywhere right now. If you already have access to the Jev API but aren't sure what to point it at first, just copy this checklist. Ten decisions that pay off on day one, in the order I would wire them: 1. the loop exit Stop asking a frontier model "are we done" on every turn. One Noul, read against fresh tool output instead of the agent's own summary of it. 2. the model router A Choice over your tiers before work starts. Rename goes cheap, design change goes frontier, unclear goes to a person. 3. the merge gate Choice for the verdict, Score for how hard it is to undo, Noul for whether a human should read it. Three answers, one call, branch order in your code. 4. the command guard Allow, ask or block before anything runs. Deny rules sit first in code; Jev handles only what code cannot compute. 5. the relevance filter Score every tool output before it enters context. One public build took a session from roughly a million tokens down to 86K. 6. ticket triage Choice over departments, Score over urgency, Noul over "needs a human". Runs on every ticket, not on a sample. 7. the reranker Forty passages came back from retrieval. Score them against the question, keep the four that earn their tokens. 8. the live menu Offer only the buttons, workers and sources that exist right now. A dead option picked at 0.91 is still dead. 9. the content screen Split the draft into claims, one narrow Noul each, anything that trips goes to an editor. Nothing is rewritten automatically. 10. shadow mode Run all nine beside your current logic for a week, log what they would have done, then read your thresholds off your own curve.
