JevMade field notes / Technical guide

Use Jev answers in command-line automation

SemDecide lets small automation programs ask Jev about text. It returns predictable answers and separate status numbers so uncertainty is not mistaken for yes, no, or success.

Our summary

Command-line automation joins small programs that pass information between them. SemDecide lets those programs ask Jev fixed questions about text or records. It can return yes or no, choose a named route, rate described levels, or select records to pass onward.

Different status numbers identify no, uncertainty, invalid input, and service failure. Local limits control text size, record counts, repeated attempts, and waiting time. A checking recipe asks separate hazard questions, then ordinary software combines the answers into allow, ask for help, or block decisions.

The source warns that this does not grant permission or isolate dangerous programs. Submitted text goes to TypeSafe, and the judgment can be wrong. Money, private data, secret keys, live services, and irreversible actions still need exact checks and cautious responses to failures.

Key takeaways

Give uncertain answers their own outcome.
Limit input, repeated attempts, and waiting time.
A model judgment does not grant permission to perform an action.
