How to install jevgrep

npm install -g @nassim-arifette/jevgrep
git clone https://github.com/nassim-arifette/jevgrep.git

Taken from the project's README on GitHub. Check the security audit before running it.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 70/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours. Full audit →

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About jevgrep

JevGrep Find code by what it does. JevGrep helps coding agents find relevant code when they do not know the file name or symbol to search for. Ask a question such as “Where is session expiry handled?” and JevGrep scans the authorized repository, asks Jev to score all eligible fragments, then returns the original source excerpts with their paths and line numbers.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. 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.
