Strips all conversational fluff from Claude's responses to save tokens and cut noise. No "I'd be happy to help", no tool announcements, no summarizing what it just did. You get the result, the code, or the fix, period. Grammar stays when it helps clarity, drops to fragments when it doesn't. Bends the rules only when something's destructive or genuinely surprising. Built for rapid iteration where you're context switching fast and every "let me search for that" wastes attention. Honestly most useful when you're deep in flow state and treating Claude like a very smart bash command.
