Clauditor

clauditor

    Stop Claude Code from burning through your quota in 20 minutes.

The problem

Every turn in a Claude Code session re-sends your entire conversation history to the API. A fresh session sends ~20k tokens per turn. A 200-turn session sends ~200k per turn. Same work, 10x more quota.

This is why your session limit gets hit in 20 minutes. Not because of a bug — because sessions grow linearly and nobody tells you to start fresh.

The solution

clauditor monitors your session size and blocks Claude when you're wasting quota, saving your progress so you can start fresh without losing context.

When you type "continue" in the new session, clauditor shows your saved sessions and tells you exactly what to type:

Install

Or via npm:

That's it. Two commands. clauditor registers hooks into Claude Code and runs in the background. No dashboard needed. No config needed.

Also works with npx (no global install):

Hooks are registered to run via npx automatically.

New hooks are auto-registered on upgrade — no need to re-run clauditor install.

Requires Node.js 20+.

Supported platforms: Claude Code CLI, VS Code extension, JetBrains extension. Does not work with Claude Code on the web (claude.ai/code).

Known limitation: The "continue" prompt block works reliably in the CLI. In the VS Code extension, the UserPromptSubmit hook may not fire consistently — context is still injected via SessionStart but Claude may not always announce it. This is a Claude Code bug, not a clauditor issue.

How it works

clauditor registers 7 hooks into Claude Code:

UserPromptSubmit — blocks before tokens are wasted

Before Claude processes your prompt, clauditor checks two things:

1. Waste factor — if the session is burning too much quota, it blocks with exit code 2.
2. "Continue" detection…
