AI product Open source
Jevgrep is a command-line tool for coding agents that finds relevant files and source context in unfamiliar repositories from natural-language questions. It uses Jev to judge relevance across folders, files, and declarations, explores qualifying branches of the repository hierarchy, selects files through content previews, identifies useful source units and surrounding context, and returns a summary followed by file locations, reading leads, and verbatim excerpts with line references. Python and TypeScript/JavaScript support declaration parsing, while other text uses a fallback. It also includes an agent skill that teaches supported coding agents when to invoke the CLI and how to use its results. The CLI is distributed through npm as @dzhng/jevgrep, requires Node.js 22 or later on macOS or Linux, and requires authentication with a supported AI provider. Searches send eligible source content to Jev through the selected provider; local filtering excludes ignored, hidden, dependency/build, binary, and obvious credential files but is not a guarantee that sensitive data is removed. The project is MIT-licensed.
