Tokensaver

tokenSaver

Current release: 1.0.9.

A Claude Code and Codex CLI plugin that compresses tool round-trips — smart file search, batch editing with fuzzy matching, and SQL introspection in single MCP calls — and accounts for the calls it saves (status line on Claude Code, tokensaver savings on Codex).

Fully local. No account, no login, no telemetry, no subscription. Everything the plugin does runs on your machine. The only network access is the one-time dependency install and a daily update check against GitHub (disable it with the updateCheck setting).
Built as a clean-room reimplementation: every behavior is reproduced from a functional specification, the code is readable JavaScript, and there is no bundled or obfuscated code.

Codex CLI

From a terminal:

On first use Codex asks you to review the plugin's hooks — open /hooks and trust them once (they are re-verified whenever hooks.json changes).

On first load the MCP server installs its npm dependencies once (network needed for ~30s), then everything is cached and works offline.

What differs on Codex

Same tools, same savings accounting — Codex state lives under ~/.codex/tokensaver/ and transcripts are read from ~/.codex/sessions/ rollouts. Tool redirect, savings, recall, post-compaction recovery and the multi-lens review (via spawn_agent instead of Task) all work. There is no status line — Codex has its own TUI and no statusline hook surface — and the tokensaver:* agent files are Claude-only, so the Task(Explore) rewrite does not apply.

The review selects up to 7 lenses. On Codex it respects the concurrency limit reported by the available collaboration tools, counting the parent agent too. It launches batches or reuses completed reviewers for the remaining…
