Agents stop too early. They do one step, say "next I'll do X", and hand the prompt back.

This Command Code mod asks Jev at every stop: would a nudge help? Yes, and the agent keeps going. It won't nudge when the agent is waiting on you, or when the last nudge got nothing done.

Install

cmd login                        # skip if signed in
cmd mods add cmd-mod-jev-nudge   # add -g for all projects

That's it. Uses your Command Code key (CMD_API_KEY or cmd login). If Jev fails, the run stops as normal.

See it

say hi in five languages. ONE hi per reply, then stop and say how many done. after the fifth say "all done".

you   ▸ say hi in five languages ...

agent ▸ Hola! 1 of 5 done.
  jev nudge 1: unfinished work found (78%), continuing
agent ▸ Bonjour! 2 of 5 done.
  jev nudge 2: unfinished work found (74%), continuing
agent ▸ Ciao! 3 of 5 done.
  jev nudge 3 ...
agent ▸ Hallo! 4 of 5 done.
  jev nudge 4 ...
agent ▸ Konnichiwa! all done.
                                  ← Jev 5%, no nudge, run ends
you   ▸ _

You type once and get five replies. Add "then wait for my go-ahead" to the prompt and it stops after one, because the agent is now waiting on you.

How it works

agent stops

   ▼
POST api.commandcode.ai/provider/v1/systemone  (typesafe/jev)
   nudge     would a nudge help right now?        p
   waiting   needs you: permission, info, choice? p

waiting ≥ .5 · progress < .5 · nudge < .5 · error  →  stop
otherwise                                          →  nudge, keep going

Command Code allows at most 8 nudges per user turn.

Flags

--mod-option name=value

| Flag | Default | Meaning | |---|---|---| | jev-nudge-threshold | 0.5 | Min probability to nudge | | jev-nudge-max | none | Max nudges per run, 0 = off | | jev-nudge-verbose | false | Show skipped nudges too | | jev-nudge-base-url | https://api.commandcode.ai | API root | | jev-nudge-model | typesafe/jev | Model id |

DEBUG=true logs every decision to stderr.

The 0.5 threshold is measured. Jev says 0.5 to 0.8 with work left and under 0.1 when done.

Develop

git clone https://github.com/CommandCodeAI/cmd-mod-jev-nudge.git
cd cmd-mod-jev-nudge && pnpm install
cmd --mod .       # run it
pnpm test

Offline, run node scripts/fake-jev.mjs and add --mod-option jev-nudge-base-url=http://127.0.0.1:4711. It logs requests to jev-log.jsonl.
