lowenbjer/claude-terse
Cuts Claude Code reply length in half and removes mannered prose. Writing rules for replies, docs, commits and subagents, plus a context meter.
A Claude Code plugin that makes the assistant reply terser by injecting 22 writing rules: answer first, no filler, no first-person narration, no metaphors or slogans. It claims measured reductions of 46–70% in word count and lower output-token costs, plus a status-line context meter. Installable via the plugin directory or GitHub.
Why now: Showcased on Hacker News as a 'Show HN' with benchmark numbers showing halved reply length and reduced cost, tapping frustration with verbose LLM replies.
Who it is for: Developers who use Claude Code daily and want shorter, cheaper, less flowery assistant output.
