-# Temporary Holding Version
+![shev — decisions, without the hype](assets/readme/hero.jpg)
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+# shev
+
+**A simple Jev-like decision maker. Without the hype.**
+
+Hand it one whole message — an email, a ticket, a review, a doc, whatever you
+pasted out of the support queue — and tell it what you want done with it. It
+hands back **one** decision, as JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "actionable": "Reply to Sam and cc finance about the overdue March invoice.",
+  "take_action": true,
+  "confidence": 95,
+  "generated_response": "Hi Sam, ... (the reply, written out)"
+}
+```
+
+That's the whole thing. No agents. No orchestration. No prompt engineering. No
+five-hundred-token preamble to memorise. One message in, one decision out, in a
+file you can just read.
+
+- **Whole message, judged once.** It doesn't chop the thing into paragraphs and
+  it doesn't go line by line. One message, one decision.
+- **You say what you want.** It asks before it answers, and what you want done
+  is what drives the reply it writes.
+- **The answer has a shape.** `actionable` (a string), `take_action` (a
+  boolean), `confidence` (an integer, always in `[34, 100]`). No tuple you have
+  to guess at.
+- **Runs on your Mac if you want.** DeepSeek over the network, or a small
+  ternary MLX model sitting right there on the machine. Switch whenever.
+- **It writes it all down.** Decisions pile up in `responses.json` as
+  `response1`, `response2`, … and other models can read them over MCP.
+
+## Install
+
+One line, copy-pasteable:
+
+```sh
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aditauqir/shev/main/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+Then type **`shev`**. The installer uses a user bin directory already on PATH
+where possible. Otherwise it adds a small, removable PATH block to your shell
+profile; open a new terminal and type `shev`—no manual shell edits needed.
+
+Prefer npm?
+
+```sh
+npm install -g @noorslvt/shev
+shev
+```
+
+This installs the package **`@noorslvt/shev`**, with the terminal commands
+`shev` and `shev-cli`. The unscoped npm registry name `shev` belongs to an
+unrelated project; **do not use `npm install -g shev`** for this tool. You can
+also install straight from the repo without the registry:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g git+https://github.com/aditauqir/shev.git
+```
+
+Both installers prefer a matching prebuilt release and otherwise build with
+Rust (installing the minimal Rust toolchain if necessary). npm runs a
+`postinstall` step that fetches the right binary or builds it; macOS/Linux are
+supported by the npm launcher, and Windows users can use WSL.
+
+Recent npm releases gate install scripts. If your install is skipped, `shev`
+tells you what to run; you can also fix it up front:
+
+```sh
+# if npm blocked the install scripts:
+npm approve-scripts @noorslvt/shev   # or:
+npm rebuild -g @noorslvt/shev --foreground-scripts
+```
+
+Got Rust already? Same thing, just as short:
+
+```sh
+cargo install --git https://github.com/aditauqir/shev
+```
+
+### Uninstall
+
+For full cleanup, whether installed with curl or npm, close other running shev
+sessions first:
+
+```sh
+shev --uninstall --dry-run  # preview paths; delete nothing
+shev --uninstall            # confirm before removal
+# or: shev --uninstall --yes
+```
+
+This removes registered shev binaries, its saved keys/config, local model data,
+tracked chat records, unchanged tracked shev MCP registrations, and the exact PATH
+blocks added by its installer. A full npm-backed uninstall also runs npm's
+package removal. Modified binaries/profile blocks, externally managed weights,
+host recovery backups, unrelated host settings,
+non-chat metadata in export files, source checkouts, and shared tools/caches
+(Rust, Node, uv, Codex, OpenCode) are not deleted.
+
+You can also remove the npm package directly:
+
+```sh
+npm uninstall -g @noorslvt/shev
+```
+
+This removes the npm package and its binaries. **Modern npm does not execute
+uninstall hooks**, so it cannot also remove persistent settings/models/history
+or external MCP registrations. Use **`shev --uninstall`** for full cleanup;
+it handles the npm package removal too. Persistent npm data deliberately lives
+outside the package so a normal npm upgrade does not erase private keys,
+history, or model downloads. No background uninstall watchers or npm overrides
+are installed.
+
+## What you need
+
+- **Best for local use:** Apple Silicon — **M1 or newer, 16 GB of RAM and up**.
+- **8 GB** will fit the local model too, but it's tight.
+- **Everything else:** runs anywhere with a DeepSeek API key. No Mac required.
+
+<sub>Only the local model cares about the Mac. It runs on MLX, and MLX is Apple
+Silicon only, so "run it on your machine" means "run it on a Mac". Point shev at
+a DeepSeek key instead and the work goes over the network — then it builds and
+runs on any platform Rust does.</sub>
+
+## Quick start
+
+```sh
+shev
+```
+
+1. Bonsai is the default. Install it through `/model` if needed; no API key is
+   required. DeepSeek is optional through `/model`; its key is stored at
+   `~/.config/shev/config.json` as `0600`.
+2. Type or paste the whole message. **enter** sends it, **ctrl+j** drops a new
+   line in the middle of a multi-line one.
+3. Say what you want done with it — "draft a short reply", "does this need me
+   today", "where's the risk here".
+4. Read the decision. **enter** starts the next one, or click
+   `▸ open responses.json in Finder` and go look at the file.
+
+After the first run it's just: run `shev`, type, done.
+
+## The TUI
+
+The home/start screen has a white ASCII wordmark directly over the wallpaper,
+without a background box or JSON pane. Once a chat starts, two windows appear:
+
+- **Left, the model output.** Every decision as a clean field list. The prompt box sits flush at the
+  foot, with its mode line ("Build · bonsai (local) · …") on the last row.
+- **Right, this turn's JSON only.** The raw record for the decision you are on,
+  so you can read the file without leaving the screen. Drag across JSON text to
+  select it; releasing the mouse copies exactly the selection and shows
+  **✓ copied to clipboard** at the top center. The mouse wheel scrolls the JSON
+  independently. `/copy json` copies the complete record, including off-screen text.
+
+Text panels use **`#0F0E08`** over the dimmed photo wallpaper. Type `/` for commands:
+Panels are inset from the terminal edges. Skills/tools menus show names only;
+long menus scroll around the selected row instead of clipping it off-screen.
+
+![shev home screen](assets/readme/app-home.png)
+
+![shev decision view](assets/readme/app-decision.png)
+
+| Command | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/file <path>` | Load a message from a file (drag-and-drop works too) |
+| `/copy [json]` | Copy selected JSON or the last response; `json` copies the complete record |
+| `/key` | Enter or replace the DeepSeek API key |
+| `/cancel` | Abort the request in flight |
+| `/clear` | Clear the visible chat and input; keep saved history |
+| `/reset` | Confirm clearing the chat, all saved history, loaded context and counters; keep keys/models |
+| `/help` | Show the keybindings |
+| `/model` | Pick the model and manage it (keys, install, uninstall) |
+| `/home` | Back to the home screen (the transcript is kept) |
+| `/history` | Jump through the decisions so far |
+| `/mcp` | Install, remove, or report the local MCP bridge |
+| `/skills` | Load existing skill guidance; `/skills off` clears supporting context |
+| `/tools [server]` | Connect to a registered MCP server and inspect read-only tools |
+| `/tool server/tool <JSON>` | Call a read-only tool and attach its result to the next decision |
+| `/plugins` | Show host-plugin compatibility limits |
+| `/quit` | Leave |
+
+Handy keys:
+
+| Key | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `enter` | Send the message, then the intent |
+| `ctrl+j` | Newline inside the box |
+| `ctrl+t` | Switch the model (DeepSeek ↔ Bonsai) |
+| `ctrl+h` | Open the history (same as `/history`) |
+| `ctrl+d` in history | Confirm deletion of only the selected saved entry |
+| `ctrl+y` | Copy selected JSON, or the last generated response |
+| `ctrl+c` | Quit |
+
+`/clear` starts a fresh chat view; `/history` can reopen retained records.
+`/reset` and history deletion default to **cancel** in their confirmation menus.
+Confirmed changes update the responses file, so MCP clients see them too.
+
+## Models
+
+`/model` switches between two backends and manages each one.
+
+**DeepSeek** — the secondary, explicitly selected remote option; needs an API key. Options: enter a new
+key, remove the stored key, or cancel.
+
+**Bonsai (default)** — `prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-2B-mlx-2bit`, a small ternary model that
+runs on Apple Silicon through MLX. Options: install it from the internet
+(about 1.2 GB, into `~/.local/share/shev/models`) or uninstall it.
+
+The Bonsai pack ships its own loader, because its weights can't be loaded by
+stock `mlx-lm`/`mlx-vlm` (they report `Unsupported model type:
+prism_hadamard_qwen35`). So shev runs the pack's bundled runtime in a resident
+worker, using `uv` with the pack's pinned requirements. Repeated requests in the
+same session reuse the loaded model; a one-shot loader remains as fallback.
+Nothing listens on a port. The first local request
+installs the MLX stack into a `uv` environment, which can take a few minutes.
+
+### Output-head experiments
+
+This pack ties its output to `language_model.model.embed_tokens.as_linear`;
+there is no separate `language_model.lm_head`. Its native 2-bit operation
+requires the pack's Hadamard transform. Changing a `bits` parameter alone is
+not a valid conversion.
+
+`tools/bench-bonsai-head.py` compares native 2-bit with a correctly repacked
+4-bit output head **in memory**, leaving input embeddings and installed files
+untouched. Run with the pack's `runtime/requirements.txt`, after a local shev
+request has created `~/.local/share/shev/models/shev_bonsai_worker.py`:
+
+```sh
+uv run --python 3.12 --with-requirements \
+  ~/.local/share/shev/models/Ternary-Bonsai-2-2B-mlx-2bit/runtime/requirements.txt \
+  python tools/bench-bonsai-head.py
+```
+
+With the current deterministic prompt, one local run measured 1.55 ms/head and
+669 ms/decision for native 2-bit, versus 2.29 ms/head and 734 ms/decision for
+repacked 4-bit. Both scored 6/6 action labels on a tiny smoke test; an earlier
+prompt/sampled baseline scored 3/6. This is not evidence of general accuracy,
+and the improvement is from the prompt/sampling changes, not from repacking.
+Repacking cannot recover precision already lost in the 2-bit checkpoint.
+Native 2-bit therefore remains the default. Hardware, prompts and output length
+affect these timings; existing explicit provider selections are preserved.
+
+## MCP
+
+Shev's MCP server lets **another assistant read your saved decisions**. It does
+not run Bonsai/DeepSeek or edit your files. No API key, OAuth login, terminal,
+network port, or separately started TUI is required: the MCP host starts shev
+as a subprocess and talks JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout.
+
+### 1. Choose the history file
+
+Save at least one decision using an explicit file path, for example:
+
+```sh
+shev --file "$HOME/shev-responses.json"
+```
+
+Inside that TUI run **`/mcp install`** (or `/mcp` → install). This writes a
+descriptor under `~/.config/shev/mcp/` and registers the executable and absolute
+history path in an existing global OpenCode config, with a private backup.
+`/mcp status` reports the registration; `/mcp uninstall` removes shev's own
+unchanged registration. It does not delete your decisions.
+
+### 2. Connect OpenCode or Codex
+
+For OpenCode, reconnect **shev** from `/mcps` or restart the client after
+installation. Alternatively, register it explicitly from a shell (replace
+the executable path if you built from source):
+
+```sh
+opencode mcp add shev --global -- "$HOME/.local/bin/shev" --mcp --file "$HOME/shev-responses.json"
+opencode mcp list
+```
+
+The equivalent OpenCode V2 configuration is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp": {
+    "servers": {
+      "shev": {
+        "type": "local",
+        "command": ["/absolute/path/to/shev", "--mcp", "--file", "/absolute/path/to/responses.json"],
+        "enabled": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For Codex, add this to `~/.codex/config.toml` (or your `CODEX_HOME` config),
+replacing the paths, then restart Codex and check `codex mcp list`:
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.shev]
+command = "/absolute/path/to/shev"
+args = ["--mcp", "--file", "/absolute/path/to/responses.json"]
+```
+
+Both `shev --mcp` and `shev-cli --mcp` work. For a source build, use
+`/absolute/path/to/repository/target/release/shev` after `cargo build --release`.
+Do not put shell expressions such as `$(pwd)` inside a JSON/TOML command array.
+
+### 3. Ask the host assistant to use shev
+
+Example prompts in OpenCode/Codex:
+
+- “Use shev's `latest_decision` tool and summarize my most recent decision.”
+- “Use shev's `search_decisions` with query `invoice` and limit `10`.”
+- “Read `response2` using shev's `get_decision` tool.”
+
+| Tool | Example arguments | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `list_decisions` | `{"limit": 20}` | Most recent records, oldest first |
+| `latest_decision` | `{}` | Latest saved record |
+| `get_decision` | `{"key": "response2"}` or `{"index": 2}` | One saved record |
+| `search_decisions` | `{"query": "invoice", "limit": 10}` | Matching saved decisions |
+
+Resources are `shev://decisions` (all records) and
+`shev://decisions/latest` (latest record). Reads use the file afresh, so decisions
+saved by an open TUI become available without restarting the MCP process.
+
+**Troubleshooting:** `unknown option --mcp` means the host is launching an old
+TUI binary. Update/rebuild the **exact executable in the MCP command** and
+reconnect shev. Current releases dispatch `--mcp` before terminal setup. If
+connection succeeds but no decisions appear, check that the host and TUI use
+the same absolute history path. Starting `shev --mcp` manually will wait quietly
+for protocol input; this is normal, not a frozen chat window.
+
+### Reuse existing skills and tools
+
+`/skills` reads existing `SKILL.md` files from Codex, Claude, shared
+`~/.agents/skills`, `~/skills`, OpenCode's XDG config directory, and ancestor
+project `.opencode`, `.agents`, and `.codex` skill folders, plus local skill
+directories configured in OpenCode. It loads guidance
+into memory; it does not install, edit, or execute skill scripts.
+
+`/tools` reads MCP registrations from Codex's `config.toml` and OpenCode's
+global/project JSON or JSONC, including V2 `mcp.servers`. `CODEX_HOME` and
+`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` are respected. Selecting a server connects and lists tools;
+selecting a tool shows its argument schema and prepares `/tool server/tool {}`.
+Edit the arguments, then enter to call it. Successful results become reference
+context for the next decision; `/skills off` unloads them. Supporting context
+does not replace the user's original intent in history.
+
+Only tools with `readOnlyHint: true` and without `destructiveHint: true` can
+be called. Unknown/mutating tools are blocked, not silently approved. **MCP
+annotations are declarations from your trusted server, not a security sandbox**;
+only use servers you trust. Starting a configured server can run its startup
+code. Calls have time/output limits and cannot request sampling or approvals.
+Stdio and streamable HTTP (JSON/SSE) are supported. Configured headers and
+environment-based tokens are reused without logging them; host-managed OAuth
+credentials are not copied. An OAuth-only server reports an authentication
+requirement rather than claiming success.
+
+The top of the right pane names the loaded skill or successfully called tool
+and its source. Integration identity is also stored with its decision. Merely
+discovering/selecting a server is not reported as a successful tool call.
+
+OpenCode's configured JavaScript plugins are listed with compatibility notices.
+**Host-specific plugins cannot run natively in shev**; they require their host
+runtime. Their MCP interfaces, where registered, can be used through `/tools`.
+shev never rewrites host configuration during discovery or tool use. Explicit
+`/mcp install` is separate and backs up configuration before registration.
+
+## CLI
+
+The TUI is the friendly front door. The line CLI is `shev-cli` and it's meant
+for pipes:
+
+```sh
+echo "Your invoice is 30 days overdue." | shev-cli -i "draft a polite reminder"
+shev-cli "Should I ship this today?" -i "answer yes or no and why"
+shev-cli --mcp                       # serve decisions over MCP on stdio
+```
+
+| Option | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `-c`, `--once <message>` | Judge one message and exit |
+| `-i`, `--intent <text>` | What you want to do with it |
+| `-f`, `--file <path>` | Where decisions are appended (default `responses.json`) |
+| `--mcp` | Serve the recorded decisions over MCP (stdio) |
+
+Useful environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` | Use this key instead of the stored one |
+| `SHEV_RESPONSES_FILE` | Where decisions are appended |
+| `SHEV_INTENT` | Default intent for a non-interactive run |
+| `SHEV_MODELS_DIR` | Where local models live |
+| `SHEV_HOME` | Managed npm state root (set automatically by the npm launcher) |
+| `SHEV_BONSAI_MAX_TOKENS` | Local worker token cap (default `256`; cold fallback `2048`) |
+| `SHEV_BONSAI_STREAM` | `1` enables worker token-delta protocol messages |
+| `SHEV_BONSAI_TEMPERATURE` | Local sampling temperature (default `0`, deterministic) |
+
+The footer shows token usage and the last decision's elapsed milliseconds.
+The resident worker reports real local token counts; the cold fallback has no
+usage metadata and reports zero rather than guessing. The concise summary and
+generated response remain alongside the JSON. A measured warm run took about
+750 ms versus 2500 ms including initial model loading—not a claim of Jev's
+sub-100-ms latency.
+Malformed local decisions receive at most two format-correction retries; usage
+includes those attempts. Retries can add latency and still fail rather than
+silently recording invalid JSON.
+
+## Where things live
+
+| Path | What it is |
+| --- | --- |
+| `~/.config/shev/config.json` | API key and the selected model (`0600`) |
+| `responses.json` | The decisions, appended as `response1`, `response2`, … |
+| `~/.local/share/shev/models/` | Downloaded local models |
+| `~/.config/shev/install.json` | Installer-owned binaries/PATH blocks and history paths for scoped cleanup |
+
+The npm launcher isolates its config, default history, and models under
+`~/.local/share/shev-npm/state/` (or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/shev-npm/state/`) instead
+of the paths above. This data survives npm upgrades. Shell
+and MCP integrations still read your existing host configuration without
+copying credentials. Explicit `--file`/`SHEV_RESPONSES_FILE` paths stay where you
+chose them and are tracked for explicit `shev --uninstall` cleanup.
