token-optimizer

Your AI is getting dumber and you can't see it.

Save tokens. Survive compaction. Measure the proof.

Most token tools only touch one slice of the problem.

They compress command output, which covers 15-25% of your context on a good day. The other 75-85% (bloated configs, unused skills, duplicate system prompts, stale memory, plus the 60-70% you lose on every compaction) goes untouched.

Token Optimizer covers all of it, keeps your work alive across compactions, measures whether the optimization actually helped, and gives you a live dashboard that shows every token, every dollar, and every turn, auto-updated after every session. Runs fully local. Zero context tokens used. Zero runtime dependencies.

Works on Claude Code and OpenClaw today. Windsurf, Cursor, and more on the way.

Install

Recommended on every platform (macOS, Linux, Windows):

/plugin marketplace add alexgreensh/token-optimizer
/plugin install token-optimizer@alexgreensh-token-optimizer

Then in Claude Code: /token-optimizer

Please enable auto-update after installing. Claude Code ships third-party marketplaces with auto-update off by default, and plugin authors cannot change that default. So you won't get bug fixes automatically unless you turn it on. In Claude Code: /plugin → Marketplaces tab → select alexgreensh-token-optimizer → Enable auto-update. One-time, 10 seconds, and you'll never miss a fix again. Token Optimizer also prints a one-time reminder on your first SessionStart so you don't forget.

Seeing Unknown skill: plugin?

That means your Claude Code is out of date. The /plugin command was added in a recent Claude Code release. Update first:

• Homebrew: brew upgrade claude-code
• npm: npm update -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
• Native installer: re-run the install command from claude.com/product/claude-code

Then restart Claude Code and re-run the two /plugin commands above.

Windows users: read this first

The plugin install above is the only path you should use on Windows. Do not also run the install.sh script described below — that's a bash installer for macOS/Linux/WSL, and combining the two creates an EBUSY: resource busy or locked error because Git Bash holds Windows file handles open while the plugin system is trying to clone.
