Jev

jev

Jev is TypeSafe's decision model: it picks one option from a list and says how sure it is. With the Claude Code plugin, ship-check can ask it three things about a review's findings:

• harm: does this finding do real harm (money, data, a side effect done twice or sent wrong, security, legal, a crash, stuck work, or the change not doing its job)? Jev can make a finding real harm. It can never clear one the review named, and an answer below its confidence floor, or any failure, leaves the call to the rules.
• priority: for the list of smaller findings, which to recommend fixing now.
• proof: for a small fix the user picked, the least proof it needs (the repo's checks only, a unit test, a test against the real database or service, or a browser test). A real-harm fix always gets the full proof.

Without the judge, the rules make each call as written. Nothing here is needed to use first-pass.

What leaves the machine

For each finding asked about: its scenario, its worst case, who meets it and, for proof, the fix in one line, after secrets, emails and phone numbers are blanked. They go to TypeSafe's API (https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone) with the key. TypeSafe charges per word sent; check the current price on its models page (https://docs.typesafe.ai/models) before telling the user a number. Its data terms: https://docs.typesafe.ai/legal.

1. Where it stands

For the current folder, and for one repo of each group the user keeps apart (two companies with separate accounts):

Copy code
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/cli.mjs" jev status <repo>

It prints on or off, why, where the key comes from (a variable name and a file, never the key) and the config file's path.

2. What the user wants

From what they typed (nothing: show the status and ask; "off" or "on": do that), or ask in one message:

• Do they have a Jev API key? If not, say where one comes from (TypeSafe's console, https://console.typesafe.ai/keys) and stop.
• Where is it set? The name of the variable that holds it, and whether it is in the environment or in an env file (the file's path; it must be one git ignores). Never ask for the key itself; if one is pasted, don't repeat it, and say it should be rotated.
• For which repos? One key for everything, or a key per group of repos when they belong to separate accounts (then every group is named, and a repo no entry names has the judge off).

3. Write the config

The config file is the path jev status printed (first-pass/jev.json in the Claude Code config folder, ~/.claude unless CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR says otherwise). Read it first if it exists and change only what the user asked:

One key for everything:

jsonCopy code
{ "keys": [{ "env": "TYPESAFE_API_KEY" }] }

A key per account:

jsonCopy code
{
  "keys": [
    { "env": "COMPANY_A_TYPESAFE_API_KEY", "file": "/abs/path/company-a/.env.local", "repos": ["/abs/path/company-a", "/abs/path/company-a-site"] },
    { "env": "COMPANY_B_TYPESAFE_API_KEY", "repos": ["/abs/path/company-b"] }
  ]
}

• env: the variable's name. It is read from the environment first, then from file.
• file: optional, an env file holding NAME=value.
• repos: absolute paths. The deepest one that holds the folder wins, and a checkout of a named repo elsewhere (a worktree, a clean checkout in the temp folder) counts as that repo, even inside a folder named for another key. An entry without repos covers every folder, and is allowed only as the only entry: with separate accounts, a folder no entry names has the judge off, never another account's key.
• With separate accounts, name each repo's own folder. Never name a folder that also holds another account's repos (the main folder above them all, say): a named folder covers every folder inside it, new repos included, so a repo cloned there later would get that key.
• "off": true switches the judge off everywhere and keeps the rest. "model" pins a version (default jev-latest); pin one when you have tuned against it.
• "url": only to send somewhere other than TypeSafe's endpoint (https, or this machine for a test server); jev status then shows it. Leave it out otherwise, and remove one the user did not ask for.
• Before writing a file path, check git ignores it: git -C <its repo> check-ignore -q <file>. If it is not ignored, say so and don't use it.

4. Check it works

Run jev status <repo> again for each group, then once per key:

Copy code
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/cli.mjs" jev test <repo>

It sends one made-up finding (no code, no customer data) and prints Jev's pick and how sure it was. A refused key or no answer prints why.

5. Report

Copy code
Jev judge: <on for <repos> (key from <NAME>, in the environment | in <file>) | off, <why>>, one line per key
Verified: jev test → <Jev's pick and confidence, or the error>, one line per key
Config: <the file, and what changed>
