Jev Gates

Watch out

Only the claims gate is on by default and only its Stop hook is wired; every other gate needs an environment variable, and the README's own session findings are the reason. The rule and scope guards interrupted far more often than they caught violations on real CLAUDE.md files that mix rules with prose, and the intent guard's edit asks landed mostly on scratch files. Hooks do not inherit your shell profile, so the key must sit in a file they can read, chmod 600, or in the env block of your Claude settings. The claims gate only considers replies from turns that ran tools, minus any sentence it already flagged, so an unchecked claim cannot vouch for itself, and this turn's outputs outrank earlier replies. The done gate catches silence rather than disagreement: declining out loud with a reason counts as addressed. The prompt check blocks nothing and never rewrites your prompt; a gap is two checks at or below the threshold or one at half of it, and a single borderline score varied run to run so it is ignored. No gate can approve anything, only escalate. The only evaluation figures given are 45 real prompts where it flagged the same 3 of 17 change requests across two runs and skipped 6 follow-ups; per-gate cost is described as about half a second and a fraction of a cent. Our README copy is truncated mid-sentence inside the claims-gate evidence section, so the proof gate, the commit guard, threshold defaults and the instructions for turning the other gates on are not documented here. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
