winnow

What it is

A Claude Code plugin for developers running long agent sessions. It intercepts large Read, Bash, and Grep results, splits them into ~25-line blocks, and replaces blocks the judge is confident you don't need with a three-line stub that can be restored on demand.

How it uses Jev

For each block, winnow asks Jev one typed yes/no question — "is this block needed for the current task?" — using the block text, a short task description from the transcript, and the tool's arguments as state. Jev returns calibrated probabilities in one parallel call; confident-yes and uncertain blocks stay verbatim, confident-no blocks are cached, summarized, and stubbed.

Primitives:choice

Technique worth stealing

Batch many per-block yes/no questions into a single System One call and threshold the calibrated probabilities to decide what enters context.
