Cookbooks

End-to-end recipes in cookbooks/, each a Python script that runs against your gateway with JEPELA_API_KEY set and prints what it measured. The outputs below are from runs on 2026-09-23, jepela-english through a gateway and a product started by the build script from this repository; costs come from the gateway's pricing.json, placeholder prices until its owner sets them. The times in the outputs come from that test setup, not from the hosted API. Run python3 cookbooks/build_docs.py to regenerate this page for your gateway.

Speculative fan-out: support_triage.py

Five questions per ticket, one request each; the code reads severity and steps only for bug reports and the refund flag only for billing. Each category comes with its confidence, so a doubtful one can go to a person instead of being trusted.

Memory-first routing: escalation_with_memory.py

Two facts in the priority account's memory turn the escalate answer from no to yes and move the route to a named person; the control account, with no memory, does not move. Compare is on, so the answer shows both.

account            lines  escalate: without -> with  route: without -> with          p(named person)

Northwind Traders  2      0.20 -> 0.82               support_queue -> named_person   0.18 -> 0.62

model jepela-english (checkpoint english); the control account has no memory, so its two answers are identical by construction

Forgetting: forget_on_request.py

With the opt-out line in memory the mail is held; after a verified forget the line is gone from what the engine sees and the opt-out answer drops; after delete the memory is empty and nothing is recalled.

Cost per decision: cost_per_decision.py

Twenty customers, about thirty history lines each, three decisions each whose right answer depends on one of those lines. Sent the stateless way, the whole history goes with every request; with memory it is written once and each request names the customer. Tokens sent are what a per-token bill counts when everything sent is billed. With recall by the state alone the right line was often crowded out by the customer's other lines; searching the question's words too (the default since 2026-09-26) found it. The 60 decisions are constructed, and the same 60 were used to choose that recall design, so the accuracy column shows the design on the cases it was chosen on, not how often memory is right on other data. This run: 2026-09-26, jepela-english on a test setup; the times are indicative. Jev itself is not measured here.

Rules in memory: rules_in_memory.py

Ten table states where 17 has just come up. The states alone pull the engine to 17, and neither wording keeps it away: with no memory, with a rule that names 17 and with a rule that says what to do, 17 is the bet in most states. What holds is code: offer only the bets Mia plays and 17 is never picked. The stop-loss is a number: as a memory line it leaves the stop answer low at a loss of 30; as a rule with when, checked in code against the session result, it adds nothing at a loss of 12 and makes stop the answer at 30.

Screening: guardrails.py

Eight hand-written messages, not a benchmark. Jailbreaks and a personal-data request are blocked, the self-harm message goes to support, and the thresholds are yours to set from your own error costs; misses are shown, not hidden. Screening for spam and phishing is the strong case and moderation the weak one. Measure on your own labels before you block anything automatically (Quality).

Confidence-gated routing: intent_routing.py

Messages are routed on the intent's confidence and a complexity score; the ones under the gate go to a person because the gate says so, not because the engine was wrong about them.

Composite scoring: composite_scoring.py

One Score per dimension, levels written as situations, two weightings in code over the same answers. In this run all 12 scores lie between 0.57 and 0.75, and for each role the first and the last candidate are at most 0.08 apart: Cy ranks first for both roles. Cy's profile says he rarely codes now, so this ranking does not follow the profiles. A Score over a whole profile is a blunt instrument: check a ranking against the profiles before you use it, or ask one Noul per claim and weigh those in code.

A player as the subject: game_npc_memory.py

The player's two deeds, one theft and one honest act, are in memory; the scene is the state. With them the merchant's attitude changes in some scenes, and the chance that the merchant calls the guard rises in every scene while staying low. Compare is on, so each row shows both answers.

A machine as the subject: device_alerts.py

The limit is a number, so it stays in code: derive compares each reading with the device's limit and, when the reading is over, hands the engine one sentence that says so; the memory keeps what a technician knows, in words. With the memory alone every reading is ignored. With the sentence, pump-13 (limit 75 C) gets a maintenance ticket and a same-day technician at 78 and 92 C, while pump-12 (limit 95 C) is left alone at both.

Lead scoring: lead_scoring.py

A noul asks first whether the lead has asked to stop receiving messages, and code takes such a lead out before any scoring, so the unsubscribe starts no sequence. The money signal is two nouls, an approved budget and a vendor already paid, combined in code, so the migration lead that already pays a vendor counts. The fit levels are situations, so the student's school project scores lowest. The weights and the thresholds are code.
