jev-guardrails

1/**
2 * jev-guardrails — Claude Mod
3 *
4 * Screens every message going into and out of the main conversation with
5 * TypeSafe's Jev, a System One decision model, the way TypeSafe's
6 * "Guardrails for LLMs" cookbook does: one request per message carries a
7 * battery of yes/no questions (is this a jailbreak? harm or a crime? a
8 * diagnosis or a dosage? self-harm?) and one score for how much harm
9 * complying would do. The probabilities come back; the thresholds that turn
10 * them into pass / review / block / support live here, in a named policy.
11 *
12 * Two hooks:
13 *   prompt.submit  — the input battery on the user's prompt.
14 *                    pass     the prompt enters as typed.
15 *                    review   the person is asked (`$.ui.ask`): send it, or
16 *                             cancel; a dismissed dialog cancels too. With
17 *                             no one to ask (a `-p` run, told by an empty
18 *                             `$.session.surfaces()`) the prompt enters
19 *                             with a <guardrail> note for the model instead.
20 *                    block    `{ drop }` without `next`: the prompt never
21 *                             enters, and the reason is shown.
22 *                    support  the prompt enters with a note that tells the
23 *                             model to respond to the person first; a
24 *                             refusal here is the wrong answer.
25 *   turn.step      — the output battery on each response's visible text.
26 *                    `screenOutput: "block"` (default) holds the text from
27 *                    its first chunk until the response's `stop`, screens
28 *                    it, and either releases it or replaces it with a
29 *                    withheld notice. `"audit"` streams everything live and
30 *                    only logs. Tool-only responses are never held.
31 *
32 * Jev is reached one of two ways, whichever key is configured: TypeSafe's
33 * own API (`typesafeApiKey`), which reports a calibrated probability per
34 * answer, or the Vercel AI Gateway (`gatewayApiKey`). With neither, the
35 * engine's own `$.model.classify` stands in, answering one of the four
36 * actions with no probability, so the mod is useful without any account.
37 *
38 * Only the main conversation is screened unless `screenSubagents` is on: a
39 * subagent's prompt is a tool call's argument, not a `prompt.submit`, so
40 * only its output can be.
41 *
42 * Every failure path is fail-open by default: a request that errors or runs
43 * past the latency budget lets the message through untouched, and says so.
44 * `failClosed` turns that around for the input side: a prompt that could not
45 * be screened is dropped. Output is never fail-closed.
46 *
47 * The API key comes from the plugin's options (userConfig "typesafeApiKey"
48 * or "gatewayApiKey"). Never hardcode it in this file.
49 *
50 * Needs Claude Code >= 2.1.287. Typed
51 * against Anthropic's declarations: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods
52 *
53 * Privacy: with a key set, the prompt text and the model's replies are sent
54 * to whichever backend the key belongs to.

1/**
2 * jev-guardrails — pure decision logic.
3 *
4 * No `$` and no I/O here: this module builds the one request the decision
5 * API takes per message, reads its answer, and turns that answer into one of
6 * four actions. The hooks module does every call on `$` at its own call site.
7 *
8 * The shape follows TypeSafe's "Guardrails for LLMs" cookbook
9 * (https://docs.typesafe.ai/cookbooks/guardrails): one request per message
10 * carries a battery of yes/no questions, one per hazard, and one `score` for
11 * how much harm complying would do. The input battery asks whether the user
12 * is asking for it; the output battery asks whether the reply went ahead and
13 * gave it. The application — this mod — owns the thresholds.
14 *
15 * Two backends speak to the same model with different wire shapes:
16 *
17 *   typesafe  POST https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone
18 *             `{ model, state, questions }`; a yes/no question is a `noul`
19 *             answered as `noul`, a rating is a `score` answered as `score`.
20 *   gateway   POST https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v4/ai/evaluation-model
21 *             `{ state, questions }` with the model in a header; a yes/no
22 *             question is a `boolean` answered as `probability`.
23 *
24 * The Gateway shape is not documented publicly; it was read from
25 * @ai-sdk/gateway and @ai-sdk/provider.
