jev-prose

jev-prose is a skill for Claude Code from pchalasani/claude-code-tools. It costs 47 tokens per session (913 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of jev-prose, MIT.

A prose-checking workflow that uses the Jev command-line tool to identify narrow patterns often found in AI-written text. It then supports a bounded check-and-rewrite loop while preserving the draft's intended facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking and revising sentences, paragraphs, or short sections when asked to remove AI-writing patterns or run an ongoing prose review.
Why use it?
It provides separate editorial feedback instead of relying only on the writer's own review. It also makes missing setup, authentication failures, and unavailable tools explicit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jev-prose scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Jev prose check and revision

Use the jev-prose CLI to get independent, probabilistic editorial feedback. It checks patterns, not authorship. The writer makes the editorial decisions.

Setup

Run jev-prose --help to check availability. From a claude-code-tools checkout, install with uv tool install ./packages/jev-prose. The package carries the persistent question bank; no global skill source paths are needed at runtime. If no checkout or installed CLI is available, report that prerequisite rather than substituting self-review for a Jev result.

Default authentication is CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID and CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, or an existing sysone account configuration and Wrangler login. The backend is hosted Jev; the text and optional context are sent there. A configured alternative can be selected with --backend typesafe or --url and --model. Do not print secrets. An authentication or billing failure stops the loop.

Bounded loop

For each requested sentence, paragraph, or short section:

  1. Save the exact draft in a temporary UTF-8 file. Keep the original and track the revision count (initial draft is attempt 0). Preserve the user's intended facts, names, numbers, citations, caveats, voice, and literal quotations.
  2. Run jev-prose check draft.txt --profile general > report.json. For papers, specifications, and formal technical prose use --profile formal. Use strict only when requested; it adds personal editorial preferences. Optional --audience, --voice, and --context context.txt help avoid false positives. Keep these settings and the threshold fixed throughout the loop.
  3. Read the report even when the command exits 1: that means findings, not a failed call. Require ran: true, ok: true, and answered == expected. Exit 2, missing output, malformed JSON, or an incomplete check stops the loop as an error; never label the draft clean in those cases.
  4. If status is clean, stop. Otherwise inspect the flagged questions and guidance against the actual draft. A high probability is not a command to edit: dismiss an inapplicable flag with a brief reason. Jev provides no evidence spans; locate the passage yourself without pretending it supplied an exact quote. Combine overlapping findings into one targeted revision.
  5. If no useful revision follows, stop and disclose the unresolved or dismissed flags. Otherwise revise only the affected prose, increment the attempt count, and return to step 2. Allow at most three revisions and four checks total. Stop earlier if text repeats or feedback cycles without useful improvement. Always check the last revision; never end on an unchecked rewrite.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
