Automated README summary
Automatically summarized from the README on 6 Oct 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.
What it is
Jeffort is a Claude Code mod that automatically sets Claude's effort level for each turn. It scores your prompt with TypeSafe Jev and maps the result to an effort level, aiming to save tokens without touching the model.
How it uses Jev
Jev scores the prompt on four narrow questions: reasoning depth, scope, stakes, and ambiguity. A fifth question detects approval-only prompts, keeping the previous level. Jeffort maps the scores to an effort level, which Claude Code then uses for that turn.
Primitives:choicescore
Technique worth stealing
Use a small set of narrow, typed questions to map a prompt to a discrete effort level.

Model judgments from README excerpts
Project signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and the first 700 README characters, not the full project. “Not found” means not detected in that material; it does not establish absence. These are the original judgments with recorded models and dates, not source audits or run results.

Evidence
These signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and at most 700 cleaned README characters. ≥ 0.60 means reported in that excerpt; ≤ 0.40 means not found there. The middle band is inconclusive. None is a source-code audit or a test result. The runnable-tool question excludes research experiments; the recommendation question asks for a learning shortlist, not a quality verdict.
