Claude Slim

claude-slim

Your Claude Code session burns thousands of tokens before you even say "hello."

Every session auto-loads every skill, agent, slash command, memory file, and plugin instruction into the system prompt — even the ones you never use. If you run OMC, marketplace plugins, or a custom skill stack, you're paying for context you'll never touch on every single turn. claude-slim measures that startup overhead and removes what you don't need.

No proxy, no compression, no changes to how Claude Code talks to the API — it reads ~/.claude/, tells you what each skill and plugin actually costs, and moves the dead weight aside reversibly.

Where the bloat hides — measured on one real install:

Skill listings are the part people underestimate: each installed skill contributes one - name: description line to the system prompt, and those run anywhere from 30 to 509 tokens each. Sixty terse skills and sixty verbose ones are not the same bill.

That's slower responses. Hitting your usage cap faster. Paying for context you're not using — on every turn, of every session.

One command. Five steps.

Scan — Measures everything: local skills, plugin skills, CLAUDE.md, memory files, MCP servers. Token counts are measured with js-tiktoken, not guessed.

Classify — Finds the waste automatically:

Propose — Three tiers, you decide:

Clean — Moves selected skills and project memory to ~/.claude/skills.disabled/. Failed-install temp caches and dead symlink files are the only permanent cleanups, and they are labeled before selection.

Report — Shows exactly what changed:

No install needed — run once and see what's in your ~/.claude/:
