From the README

FewWord
"Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick? Big output go file. Small word stay. Context happy. Me happy. Everyone go home by seven."
— Kevin Malone

A Claude Code plugin that automatically offloads large command outputs to files, keeping your context clean and retrievable.

The Problem

AI coding agents hit a wall when:
- Tool outputs bloat your context — One big test run or log dump eats 10k tokens that sit there forever
- Plans get lost — After context summarization, Claude forgets what it was doing
- You're paying for waste — Most of your context is irrelevant to the current step

The Solution

FewWord implements dynamic context discovery — patterns from Manus and LangChain that use the filesystem as infinite, searchable memory.

Instead of this:

You get this (~35 tokens):

For failures, you also get a preview:

How It Works

Result: 45KB output → ~35 tokens in context + full data on disk when needed.

Test Results

We ran the same 3 commands (find, ls -la, env) in two fresh Claude Code sessions:

Understanding the Numbers

When you run /context, you see several categories:

The 82% savings (21.3k tokens) is specifically on Message tokens — that's where your actual conversation and command outputs live.

Installation

Step 1: Add the marketplace

Step 2: Install the plugin

Step 3: Start a new session for hooks to load.

That's it! FewWord works automatically — no configuration needed.

Alternative: Install from inside Claude Code

You can also run these commands inside an active Claude session:

Then start a new session.

Updates

FewWord checks for updates automatically on session start. Notifications are rate-limited (at most once every 24 hours).

To update manually:

Then start a new session for hooks to reload.

How hooks work

  • Hooks are shell commands Claude Code runs at fixed points: before or after a tool call, when you submit a prompt, when Claude stops, on notifications and at session start.
  • They are set in the hooks section of ~/.claude/settings.json (or .claude/settings.json for a project), or come bundled in a plugin.
  • A hook can block a tool call, add context, or run a formatter or test. Read the scripts before you install them: they run on your machine with your permissions.
