Jevaluate, privately

Rates a project exactly as jevaluate does, with the same rubric, steps and checks, and keeps the rating out of everything public. The rating lives in a private library that export refuses, and nothing is pushed, published or added to ratings/.

Setup, once per machine

python3 <jevaluate>/scripts/library.py init-private ~/.jevaluate-private creates the private library, marked by a PRIVATE file. <jevaluate> is the jevaluate skill's folder, beside this one.

How to rate

1. Set JEVALUATE_LIBRARY=~/.jevaluate-private for every command in the rating, so step.py and library.py read and write only the private library. Create the library first if it doesn't exist.
2. Gather the files:
   • a GitHub link: coverage_manifest.py owner/repo <dir>, as usual;
   • a folder on disk: coverage_manifest.py --local <folder> <dir>. It applies the same skip rules and size cap, reads nothing outside the folder, and records git HEAD as the commit (or a content fingerprint when the folder isn't a clean git checkout).
3. Follow the jevaluate skill and its read.md unchanged. Two differences only:
   • the project's own files may be private, while the rules still come only from docs.typesafe.ai;
   • a local folder's url is local:<short-name>.
4. Add visibility: private to the rating's front matter, then log it with ../jevaluate/scripts/library.py add as usual. add refuses a private rating into a public library, and refuses a non-private rating into a private one.
5. Finish with the rating's verdict and its fixes in plain words, for the person who asked. Offer a page if they want one to share. Never run ../jevaluate/scripts/library.py export, never copy the rating into a repo, and never push.

Comparisons with past ratings come only from the private library, so a private rating is never shown beside a public one.
