Jevotron is a new command-line tool that scans files such as CSV, YAML, JSON, TOML and OBO for anomalies, producing field-level probability scores and a review queue. The tool caches results in SQLite so unchanged entries aren't reassessed on subsequent runs, and users can guide scans with text instructions or a local Python config. A pilot test on 24 public agent traces reported the tool matched 130 of 163 step-quality labels (79.8% accuracy), with 89.7% precision and 70.3% recall for identifying harmful steps.

A developer describes discovering that git supports two additional ignore mechanisms beyond the well-known .gitignore file: a per-clone .git/info/exclude file and a global excludes file set via the core.excludesFile config option. Neither of these files gets committed to the repository, unlike .gitignore, making them suited for personal scratch files and editor or OS clutter respectively. The writer says an AI coding assistant, Claude, prompted the discovery by suggesting untracked personal notes be added to .git/info/exclude.
