# Ideas section overview

> **TL;DR** Community-sourced pages that help an agent answer "what could Jev do for this project?". Start at [[ideas/consult]]. Two slim indexes route you to one domain page each, so a consult stays near 10-15k tokens however large the section grows. Official pages under `reference/` and `concepts/` win any conflict.

| Question | Open | ~Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| "Here is my project, could Jev help?" | [[ideas/consult]] → [[ideas/patterns]] (index) → one domain page | 2k + 2k + 4k |
| Patterns for agent internals, context, coding agents | [[ideas/patterns-agents]] | 3-4k |
| Patterns for browser/computer/voice control and in-product UI | [[ideas/patterns-interface]] | 1.5k |
| Patterns for judging, search, documents, transcripts, real-time, markets | [[ideas/patterns-data]] | 4k |
| Patterns for marketing, sales, GTM, content, support, ops | [[ideas/patterns-business]] | 4k |
| "What has anyone actually built, with code?" | [[ideas/community-repos]] (index) → [[ideas/repos-agents]] or [[ideas/repos-apps]] | 2k + 4k |
| "Does it really work? Where does it fail?" | [[ideas/field-reports]] | 2.7k |
| "What numbers did people measure? Gateways? Open replicas?" | [[ideas/measurements]] | 2k |
| "I have decided to build" | leave this section: [[guides/agent-integration-playbook]] | 7k |

## Where this comes from

X posts curated by the wiki owner (61 captured 2026-09-20, more added since) and the GitHub repos those posts link (56 as of 2026-09-21). Posts are digested, de-duplicated and checked against the official pages; hype that only repeats TypeSafe's numbers is merged into single lines. Raw captures stay in the private repo.

**Credit.** The four-placement routing, P34's design rules, the 50-case and shadow-mode check in [[guides/testing-and-evaluation]], and several field-report rows come from [Nate B. Jones's member guide "Find the Jev-shaped problems in your software"](https://unlock-ai.natebjones.com/guides/jev-shaped-problems), digested here with his permission. His audit prompt and four recipe-card prompts are not reproduced; get them from his page.
