Highlights

  • Interactive guide to System One thinking: fast, automatic judgments, how they differ from deliberate checking, and what that means for software.
  • Covers classification and scoring as software examples, plus thresholds, confidence, and checks between a prediction and an action.
  • Final section uses the Jev × WebMCP Chrome extension as a case study: tool discovery, schema-derived questions, argument assembly, execution policy.
  • Content-boundaries section draws on Daniel Kahneman's Nobel lecture and notes limitations of the analogy and of model predictions.
  • Apache-2.0 JavaScript site: npm install, npm run dev locally, npm run build for a static build; live demo hosted on Netlify.

Watch out

README reviewed 2026-10-17; the digest truncates inside the content-boundaries section, so the complete source list for the psychology framing is not visible. The repo states no tests, benchmarks, or Node version requirement, and the live demo is a Netlify deployment.
