🤫 Token-lean sessions at the harness level. An easy to grasp output style, output-shrinking hooks, and log compression cut both input and output tokens.

Run longer coding sessions without hitting token limits on large projects.
Customize output formatting to get cleaner, more concise Claude responses.
