The Jev-enator

Three Claude Code hooks that each ask Jev a question.

Jake Reardon’s hooks are a danger gate before a risky command, a notice when something failed quietly, and a check on whether the work is really finished.

🤖 Claude Code hooks that use [Jev](https://docs.typesafe.ai) to make cheap,
calibrated judgement calls **inside the agent loop** — where a full LLM call would
be too slow and too expensive to sit in the hot path.

> 👉 **New here?** [**WHY.md**](WHY.md) is the two-minute version: what breaks
> without this, what Jev is doing that's interesting, and what a year of it cost
> (\$0.14).
