A cheap decision model picks each turn's skill, model and effort, compacts on request, and withholds injected text

A Claude Code mod that hands the small decisions to a cheap decision model.
Your agent spends frontier-model time on things that are not thinking: which model should answer this turn, which of your skills applies, which parts of a long session still matter, whether a fetched page is trying to give it orders. Those are decisions, not prose. jev-mod asks a decision model (Jev, or any backend you run) and lets Claude do the work.
It runs inside Claude Code as a mod: hooks that reach the engine where settings hooks cannot.
| Feature | When | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| Routing | each turn | The turn's lane (small / medium / high / escalate) sets its effort, and its model while the context is small. Follow-ups step down one lane at most; corrections hold or raise it; above 40k tokens the model only moves up. |
| Skills | each prompt | The one installed skill the prompt needs, if any, added as context beside it. Only skills the session itself lists can be suggested, and each at most once a session. |
| Screening | after WebFetch, WebSearch, every MCP tool, and Bash commands that fetch (curl, wget, gh api, ...) | Sentences carrying instructions aimed at an AI are withheld before Claude reads them; the rest of the result is kept. |
| Tool-call gate (off by default) | before a consequential tool call Claude Code would allow: Bash that pushes, deletes, rewrites history, publishes, installs, deploys, migrates or writes outside the project; Write/Edit outside the project; MCP tools that send, create, change or delete | Whether you asked for it, whether it breaks a limit you stated ("don't push"), and whether it is hard to undo. A doubtful call is put to you in the permission dialog with the reason, instead of running unasked. It only tightens Claude Code's decision, never loosens it. |
Completion gate (stop-gate, off by default) | when the main agent ends a turn claiming the work is done or checks pass | Whether the turn's evidence (edited files, the commands it ran and the tail of their output) shows each claim. In on, an unshown claim sends the agent back once more, naming it and asking it to verify or say plainly what is unverified, never to take a hard-to-undo step; at most twice per prompt. |
| Output trimming | after a Bash command prints 200 lines or more (off by default) | Runs of repeated and near-identical lines are folded locally; then each remaining chunk the current goal (your latest request and the command) no longer needs is replaced by a marker naming its lines. Errors, warnings, failures, stack traces, summaries and the first and last lines always stay. The full output is kept in ~/.cache/jev-mod/outputs/ (the last 50), and the trimmed output's first line names the file. Bash output that screening looked at is trimmed after screening, so only screened text reaches the model: a large output Claude Code kept in a file is screened whole before any of it is inlined, and left as Claude Code's preview when it cannot be. A failed command's trimmed output still reaches the model as an error. |
Find files (find-files) | when the model calls find_files (offered while it is on) | Which files implement what the model describes in plain words ("where retries with backoff are done"). The project's files (git's list, so .gitignore is honoured) are scored locally by the query's words in each path, its first lines and how many lines mention them; the best 60 go to the decision model as short redacted cards (path, header comment, the names it defines, a few matching lines) and it judges each implements, related or unrelated. The model gets a ranked list of paths with a reason each, in place of a chain of greps. No key, private mode, the daily budget or a failing backend: the local ranking, labelled as such. |
Browser (browser, off by default) | when the model calls browse (offered while it is on) | Drives a web page toward a goal the model states as an end state. A headless Chromium on a throwaway profile (Playwright, installed once with /jev-mod browser install) opens the page; each step its links, buttons and fields become a table of actions and the decision model picks one. It never writes text: what to type comes from the call's inputs, sent to it by name only. Page text is redacted and screened first. It stays on the start site; a consequential step (buy, pay, send, delete, post, sign up, submit a form) waits for you unless the goal names it and the decision model is sure the goal asks for it; done needs a second check over the page's own text. Details and the safety rules: docs/BROWSER.md. |
| The jev-mod band | always | One line above the prompt: what jev-mod decided this turn, its cost this session, what screening withheld, and which backend answered (red, with the reason, while it is failing). |
/jev-mod compact | when you type it | A compaction with no summary: only the turns the decision model marks keep stay, plus the last few. /compact is left as Claude Code has it. |
One command manages the mod; the typeahead offers each word after it:
| Command | What it does | ||
|---|---|---|---|
/jev-mod (or /jev-mod list) | Every feature: its mode and where that came from, its settings, then anything in the config files that was passed over. | ||
/jev-mod status | The backend, where its key came from (never the key), a live check, each feature's mode, today's spend. | ||
/jev-mod compact | The compaction above. | ||
/jev-mod dashboard | A page in your browser to see and set every feature (below); /jev-mod dashboard stop ends it. | ||
/jev-mod <feature> | Its help, its modes, and each setting with its range, default and value now. | ||
| `/jev-mod <feature> on\ | off\ | shadow` | Sets its mode in your config file (--project: the project's). |
/jev-mod <feature> <setting> <value> | Sets one of its settings. | ||
/jev-mod <feature> reset | Clears what the file sets for it. | ||
/jev-mod browser install | Installs Playwright (a pinned version) and its Chromium into ~/.cache/jev-mod/browser/ for the browse tool; about 150 MB, needs npm. Only ever run when you ask. |
After a change it shows the value that now holds, and warns when a kill file, /config or the project file still overrides what was just written.
Every decision fails open: no answer means the turn runs exactly as plain Claude Code. After a failed call the mod stops asking for five minutes, so a backend that is down costs one timeout.
Nothing else: no Python, no other tool.
/plugin install jev-mod --marketplace VictorGambarini/jev-mod
Installing asks for the mod's settings. The key is your TypeSafe key (or OpenRouter, Venice or OpenCode Zen: pick which beside it). Claude Code keeps it in its own credential store, the Keychain on macOS and ~/.claude/.credentials.json (a 0600 file, beside your Claude login) on Linux, and hands it only to the mod: it never enters the conversation, so Claude never sees it. To set or change it later, open jev-mod in /plugin, or run this in your own terminal (not through Claude):
read -rs KEY && printf '{"api_key":"%s"}' "$KEY" | claude plugin configure jev-mod@jev-mod --values-stdin; unset KEY
An empty value keeps the key already set; set it to none to stop using it.
Then check it with /jev-mod status: the backend, where its key came from (never the key), a live check call, each feature's mode, and today's spend.
Nothing else is needed: no Python. A key already in the environment (TYPESAFE_API_KEY, ...) or stored by jev-skills' jev setup-key is found too, and the mod reads jev-skills' switches, backends.json, lane policy and lanes.json and shares its daily budget, so the two can run side by side.
New installs start nearly empty (0.7.0). Until ~/.config/jev-mod/config.json exists, only screening and the band are on; every other feature is off. The band reads nothing on yet · /jev-mod dashboard to choose and one toast says the same at the start of each session. The first save from the dashboard or /jev-mod creates the file and both stop. A setting already in that file, or chosen in /config (Routing on, jev-skills' hook_skills), keeps winning as before.
Each feature has a mode (on, off, and shadow where it means something: decide and count, change nothing) and, for some, settings of its own. Shadow never adds latency: the decision runs in the background and only its outcome is counted, so nothing waits for it. /jev-mod <feature> ... sets them (above); they live in a JSON file:
~/.config/jev-mod/config.json for you ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME respected), and.claude/jev-mod.json in a project, which overrides it there. A project's file comes with the repository, so for the features that guard you (screening, tool-gate, stop-gate) it may only make the mode stricter (off < shadow < on) than your own file, an older switch or the default give, and their settings come from your file alone. A looser mode or a setting there is passed over and shown by /jev-mod ("project config may not lower screening"), and /jev-mod <feature> ... --project and the dashboard refuse to write one. The browser, which acts for you on the web, is the other way round: a project's file may only turn it off, and its settings (allowAttach among them) come from your file alone.{"features": {"skills": {"mode": "shadow"}, "band": {"mode": "off"}}}
A change holds from the next event; no restart. /jev-mod shows each feature's mode, where it came from, and anything in the files it passed over (an unknown feature, a mode a feature does not have): a typo never turns a feature off.
What each feature did (and in shadow would have done) is counted by day for the last 30 days in the mod's own store, for /jev-mod dashboard.
/jev-mod dashboard opens a local page in your browser: every feature with an off / shadow / on switch, its settings as inputs with their ranges, a ? for its help, and where each value comes from (default, user, project, a kill file, /config), with a note when a higher layer overrides what you edit. A User / This project switch picks which file an edit goes to. In This project, a guarding feature's looser modes and its settings cannot be chosen (above). Its other tabs are the last 14 days of activity (what each feature did, and in shadow would have done), today's spend against the daily budget, and the backend with where its key came from (never the key).
It needs bun or node on PATH: the mod starts a small server bound to 127.0.0.1 on a free port, reachable only with the one-time link it prints, and only while the session is open. The server writes nothing: each change goes back to the mod, which checks it as /jev-mod would and writes the config file. Without bun or node it writes a read-only copy of the page instead (~/.config/jev-mod/dashboard/<session>/dashboard.html) and opens that.
| Feature | Modes | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
routing | on, off | off | each turn's model and effort from the decision model's lane |
skills | on, shadow, off | off | suggests the installed skill that matches a prompt |
screening | on, shadow, off | on | withholds instructions aimed at the model in fetched text |
tool-gate | on, shadow, off | off | asks you before a consequential tool call the decision model doubts; settings minConfidence (0.7), scope (bash, bash+edits, all-risky), timeoutMs (2000) |
trim-output | on, shadow, off | off | cuts long Bash output down to what the current goal needs; minLines (200), keepThreshold (0.35), localOnly (false) |
find-files | on, off | off | the find_files tool the model calls to find the files that implement something; maxCandidates (10-200, 60) judged per query, limit (1-50, 10) returned, timeoutMs (1000-30000, 8000) before the local ranking answers. No shadow: the model calls it by choice |
browser | on, off | off | the browse tool; maxSteps (5-60, 20) per call, confirmConfidence (0.5-1, 0.85) to take a consequential step or accept done, stepFloor (0.3-0.95, 0.65) below which it stops as blocked, headed (false), allowAttach (false: let a call drive your own Chrome), textChars (1000-20000, 6000) of page text per step. A project file may turn it off, never on, and sets none of these |
band | on, off | on | the line above the prompt |
stop-gate | on, shadow, off | off | checks a turn's "done" against its evidence; maxNudges (0-5, 2) per prompt, minConfidence (0-1, 0.7) to send it back, evidenceChars (1000-20000, 6000) sent with each check |
The tool-call gate sits on Claude Code's permission decision (tool.check) after its own verdict. A call your rules refuse, or already ask you about, is left alone; one they would allow and the gate doubts becomes an ask, never a deny. Only consequential calls are sent (reads, builds, tests and edits inside the project never are), with your last few prompts (redacted) and any limits you stated; a call carrying a secret is not sent. Subagents' calls are gated too: a subagent is where text fetched from elsewhere most often steers a call. No answer within timeoutMs, private mode, the daily budget or a backend cool-off: the call goes on as Claude Code decided. In bypassPermissions, auto and dontAsk modes, and in claude -p, the mode settles the ask (headless, it is refused with the gate's reason). Try it in shadow first: it counts would-ask, passed and skipped, in the background, so no call waits for it; on counts asked-person.
What wins, first to last: a kill file (~/.config/jev-mod/OFF for everything, ~/.config/jev-mod/<FEATURE>_OFF for one, or jev-skills' HOOK_SKILLS_OFF / HOOK_SCREEN_OFF in ~/.config/jev), then jev-mod on unticked in /config, then the project file (for screening, tool-gate and stop-gate only when it is stricter), then yours, then the older switches (the /config fields below, then jev-skills' jev switches), then the default.
/config keeps what has to live there: the keys, the provider, jev-mod on (untick it to turn everything off), and Private (send nothing: no routing or suggestions; fetched text is screened locally only; long output is folded locally only). Its Routing, Skill suggestions, Screening and jev-mod band fields still work when the files do not set that feature, and will go in a later release.
Jev answers through TypeSafe, OpenRouter, Venice or OpenCode Zen. Any other server that answers the same /v1/systemone protocol (a self-hosted decision model, a gateway) can be named in ~/.config/jev/backends.json and made the default:
{"default": "lais05",
"backends": {"lais05": {"protocol": "systemone", "url": "https://lais05.example/v1/systemone", "model": "Cloudflare/clef-flash"}}}
Its key goes in the named backend key setting. Every threshold was measured on Jev; another model's confidences are not the same numbers, so a backend can carry its own tuning and its own copy of a policy (~/.config/jev/backends/<name>/policies/).
Above the prompt, after the first turn:
🧭 easy → haiku 4.5 · low $0.0043 (112) 🛡 withheld 2 🔌 jev-1.13 · typesafe
The lane reads as difficulty (easy, normal, hard, critical), then the model and effort the mod switched to, or "kept" when it changed nothing. Turn it off with "band": {"mode": "off"} in your config file.
statusline/statusline.py is an optional status line for the rest (model, folder, branch, context, cache countdown, spend, rate limits): "statusLine": {"type": "command", "command": "<path>/statusline/statusline.py", "refreshInterval": 60} in ~/.claude/settings.json.
