Find code by asking what it does. In our ten-task SWE-bench comparison, Jevgrep successfully completed the same 8 of 10 tasks as the baseline, at lower cost. Coding agents spend part of every unfamiliar task finding the right files. Jevgrep gives them a place to start: ask a repository question, and jg returns relevant files, reading leads, and verbatim source excerpts in one stdout response. It uses Jev to judge relevance across folders, files, and declarations. Your coding agent then implements and tests the change. Requires Node.js 22+, macOS, Linux, or Windows, and a key for Vercel AI Gateway, TypeSafe, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, or a custom TypeSafe-compatible endpoint. No separate Python, Bun, or ripgrep installation is required to use jg. Installing the CLI alone does not teach your coding agent to use it. Install the skill as well, from the project…

Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
