Terse ships a Claude Code plugin that cuts replies by deleting filler

Show HN: Terse, a Claude Code plugin that halves reply length by cutting filler

Terse is a Claude Code plugin that uses writing rules to strip redundant phrasing. Its author measured a 46% to 70% drop in chat reply word count. The rules cover replies, docs, commits and subagents, and a per-turn reminder keeps the style in place, with a context usage status bar included.

Why it matters: Terse turns Claude Code style control into a plugin mechanism, using output styles and per-turn rule reminders to hold the tone across long sessions.
