What it is

Stanley is a command-line tool for checking and understanding code changes. You describe what you need in natural language; it routes the request to one bounded workflow that gathers evidence and asks Jev fixed-choice questions.

How it uses Jev

Jev routes a natural-language request across workflows using author-provided JSON routing metadata plus deterministic facts. For built-ins, Jev answers fixed-choice questions about small, size-limited pieces of the diff or evidence; Stanley's own code turns answers into flags using fixed thresholds.

Primitives:choice

Technique worth stealing

Deterministic code gathers bounded evidence and asks Jev small fixed-choice questions; code, not the model, makes decisions.
