This skill sends a state and typed questions to Venice, returning probabilities, selections, or scores for code-driven decisions instead of prose.

## What it does

venice-decisions calls Venice’s Beta API at `POST /api/v1/decisions`; `POST /api/v1/systemone` provides the compatible alias. It uses TypeSafe’s Jev model through `jev-latest`, `jev-1-13-0`, or `typesafe-jev`. A request contains a `state` plus a map of `questions`, and each result keeps its question ID.

The skill covers three question modes. `noul` produces a yes/no probability, `choice` picks one option and returns its probability distribution with confidence, while `score` places the state on an ordered rubric. Several questions can evaluate the same state independently in one request. Access requires a Venice API key or x402.

Token budgets are `maxStateTokens: 32000` and `maxTotalTokens: 64000`. An oversized request can pass Venice validation and then fail in TypeSafe, so these limits belong in the request design. The API is marked Beta, which means request and response behavior may change.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-decisions -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/venice-decisions/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/venice-decisions/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-decisions -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/venice-decisions/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-decisions -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/venice-decisions/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install veniceai/skills venice-decisions
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/veniceai/skills --path skills/venice-decisions
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/venice-decisions/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add veniceai/skills --skill venice-decisions -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- route tickets into a fixed set of teams
- gate a workflow on a yes/no probability
- rate severity or frustration on an ordered rubric
- ask several independent questions about one state

## Example prompts
- Check whether this support message needs urgent attention and return the yes probability.
- Classify the ticket as `billing`, `technical`, or `sales`.
- Score the customer’s frustration using an ordered three-level rubric.

description: Call Venice's Beta POST /decisions (and its TypeSafe-compatible alias POST /systemone) to get typed judgments instead of generated text. Covers the Jev "System One" decision model (jev-latest, aliases jev-1-13-0 / typesafe-jev), the state + questions request shape, the three question/answer types (noul yes/no probability, choice with probability distribution + confidence, score on an ordered rubric), token limits (maxStateTokens / maxTotalTokens), input-token pricing, rate limits, and how upstream 422 validation errors surface as 400.

# Venice Decisions (Beta)

`POST /api/v1/decisions` evaluates a `state` (text or JSON) against a map of typed `questions` and returns one structured `answer` per question — probabilities, picks, and scores your code can branch on directly. It does **not** generate text. The only model is TypeSafe's **Jev** (`jev-latest`), a "System One" decision model.

> **Beta.** The spec labels both routes Beta: "Request/response schemas and behavior may change without notice."

## Use when

- Routing / classifying (support tickets, intents, moderation buckets) into a closed set of options.
- Yes/no gates where the probability itself is useful (`is_urgent`, `requests_refund`).
- Rating something on an ordered rubric (severity, frustration, quality).
- You want several independent judgments about the **same** state in one call.

Use [`venice-chat`](../venice-chat/SKILL.md) instead when you need prose, explanations, multi-turn conversation, tool calling, or open-ended answers.

## Endpoints

| Method | Path | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `POST` | `/api/v1/decisions` | Main route (`operationId: createDecision`). API key or x402. |
| `POST` | `/api/v1/systemone` | Same behavior as `/decisions` (`createDecisionSystemOne`). Mirrors TypeSafe's upstream path so TypeSafe SDKs work with a base-URL swap: `TYPESAFE_BASE_URL=https://api.venice.ai/api`. |
| `GET` | `/api/v1/models?type=decision` | Lists decision models with pricing and token limits. |

Both POST routes accept `Accept-Encoding: gzip, br`.

## Quick start

```bash
curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/decisions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "jev-latest",
    "state": "My payouts have failed for three days and nobody has replied. Please help ASAP.",
    "questions": {
      "is_urgent": {
        "type": "noul",
        "instructions": "Does this message require urgent attention?"
      },
      "department": {
        "type": "choice",
        "instructions": "Which team should handle this ticket?",
        "criteria": {
          "billing": "Payments, invoices, or refunds",
          "technical": "Bugs, outages, or integrations",
          "sales": "Pricing, upgrades, or new accounts"
        }
      },
      "frustration": {
        "type": "score",
