kev Jev-inspired decision model. Typed questions in, calibrated probabilities out, one forward pass. kev is a LoRA adapter and a small readout head on top of Qwen2.5-0.5B. It reads a document once and answers many typed questions about it in parallel, in a single prefill pass with no decoding. The document and every question are packed into one sequence; a block-causal mask lets each question see the document but never another question. A pointer head then scores each question's options against its decision token and applies softmax. Those probabilities are the output. The head is trained with cross-entropy against labelled outcomes, so the probabilities are l

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
