Claude Code plugin uses yes/no model for faster judgments

A developer created a plugin for Claude Code called jev-tools, designed to replace full LLM calls with a faster, simpler model that answers only yes/no questions. This approach aims to handle small judgments like rule adherence or skill selection more efficiently. While the plugin demonstrated potential in offline tests, live testing revealed issues, particularly with the rule-enforcement and file-discovery components, suggesting that real-world application requires careful calibration and a cautious rollout strategy.

    I built a Claude Code plugin around a model that only answers yes/no. What worked, what failed, what I measured

    <p>Claude Code makes a lot of small judgments that don't need a full LLM call: does this edit break a rule in my <code>CLAUDE.md</code>, which of my installed skills fits this prompt, does this diff need a careful review or a quick pass. I wanted to see whether a small, fast "dec…
