jev-guard

Sends each Bash command to the jev model on OpenRouter before it runs, like auto mode, and blocks the ones it classifies as dangerous.

jev-guard

A Claude Code mod that checks every Bash command before it runs, similar to Claude's auto mode. Each command is sent to typesafe/jev-1.14 on OpenRouter. Jev is a fast classifier, so it doesn't reason, it only rates. If it thinks the command is unsafe, the command is blocked and the agent is told why.

How it works

  • Hooks tool.call for the Bash tool.
  • Sends the command, your latest prompt and the working directory to the OpenRouter Decisions API (POST /api/alpha/decisions) as state.
  • Asks one question, is_unsafe, and reads back a probability from 0 to 1.
  • Blocks the command when the probability is at or above blockThreshold.
  • Fails closed: if the classifier can't be reached, the command is blocked unless onError is allow.

Jev returns a probability, not a written reason, so the block message shows the percentage only.

Options

OptionDefaultMeaning
apiKeyemptyOpenRouter API key. Falls back to the OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable.
modeltypesafe/jev-1.14Decisions model to use.
blockThreshold0.5Block at or above this probability. Lower is stricter.
onErrordenydeny blocks commands when the classifier fails, allow lets them run.

With no API key set, nothing is checked and a single toast says so.

Known behavior

Jev judges by the shape of a command, not its effect. Harmless variants of risky commands (a dry-run force push, deleting a directory that doesn't exist) were still blocked in testing. Expect some false positives and tune blockThreshold for your own work.

Development

The mod was written against the Claude Code mod API and lives in hooks/register.ts.

claude plugin test .
claude plugin validate .
tsc -p . --noEmit

The tests mock the network, so they don't need an API key.

Live integration test

integration/jev.live.ts sends a set of ordinary and risky commands (including commands that read API keys and other secrets) to the real jev model as text. It never runs them. It needs OPENROUTER_API_KEY in the environment and skips itself without one.

node --experimental-strip-types --test integration/jev.live.ts

Set JEV_THRESHOLD or JEV_MODEL to try a different block line or model.
