README

Astra + Jev: Codex and Claude Code Agent Skills

[日本語](README-ja.md) · [Version 0.5.0](VERSION) · [Tagged releases](https://github.com/Oranquelui/astra-jev-harness/releases) · [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)

This repository provides the **[`astra-jev-coding` Codex Agent Skill](Codex%20Desktop/skills/astra-jev-coding/SKILL.md) for Codex Desktop** and a separate harness for Codex CLI. Install the Skill to use Jev for context selection while the current Desktop conversation implements the task; the CLI workflow runs Codex separately. A separate **[`claude-jev-coding` Skill](Claude%20Code/skills/claude-jev-coding/SKILL.md) for Claude Code** applies the same context selection to the current Claude Code session.

Narrow large repositories locally, let **Jev judge the bounded candidates**, then let **your coding model write the code**.

A local coding harness for Codex CLI, Codex Desktop and Claude Code. Give it a task such as “fix pagination without changing the public API”; it snapshots eligible files, locally narrows oversized repositories, asks Jev which candidates the coding model needs, preserves dependencies, and records what was kept and why.

**Goal:** reduce Astra token consumption and combined inference cost while preserving coding correctness and avoiding extra turnaround time. File selection is a means to that goal. The Claude Code Skill extends the same goal to Claude; its savings are not yet measured.

**Experimental.** One synthetic CLI coding task at **Astra Extra High (`xhigh`)** used **27.0% fewer Astra input tokens** and **27.2% less at equivalent Standard API rates**, including Jev. Both modes passed the same six checks. Elapsed time was 7.3% shorter in this pair, but 34.6% longer in a separate `medium` pair. Each is one trial per mode, not a general speedup or Desktop result.
