 "title": "Run scoped searches that return JSON for scripts",
 "page_title": "How to run scoped searches that return JSON for scripts with Jevgrep",
 "summary": "Limit a search to chosen folders and read a validated JSON result with exit codes.",
 "who": "A developer or CI-minded engineer who wants a script or pipeline to run a behavior search over selected directories and act on the result.",
 "problem": "Pipelines need machine-readable output and a reliable way to tell a complete result from a partial one.",
 "outcome": "A validated JSON response limited to the chosen directories, with coverage information and an exit code that shows whether the result is complete.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npm install -g @nassim-arifette/jevgrep` and complete `jevgrep init --global` and `jevgrep init` for the repository",
  "Run `jevgrep inspect` to confirm the eligible scope",
  "Run `jevgrep search --query \"How are permissions checked?\" --scope src --scope tests --json` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Read the exit code: `0` means complete, `3` means partial, and `2` or `4` mean a problem to handle",
  "Only add `--allow-partial` if a partial deterministic scan is acceptable for your workflow"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Run `jevgrep search --query \"<behavior question>\" --scope <folder> --json` in the repository at <repo path> and parse the JSON output. Verify that you check the exit code and report whether the result is complete or partial before drawing any conclusion.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Results are scored by a remote provider, so a complete JSON result still depends on that provider's scoring and an empty result is not proof that code does not exist.",
