terse

Cuts Claude Code reply length in half and removes mannered prose. 22 writing rules as a forced output style, a per-turn reminder against drift in long sessions, the same rules for subagents, and a context meter for the status line. Measured on 20 prompts against a real codebase: about half the words at 30% to 50% lower cost. Rules, method and numbers per model: github.com/lowenbjer/claude-terse
