Description

A zero-dependency CLI, agent, and skill that measures token usage from real Claude Code transcripts, scores structural waste across eight levers, and restructures the project to reduce it. Includes audit-first PostToolUse output-filter and PreToolUse read-dedup hooks, both off by default.

Validate Claims

Zero install: run npm i -g token-diet-cli, then token-diet review --dir . in any repository with a .claude/ setup. It scores the design A-F against the eight levers and lists per-lever findings in seconds, reads no usage history, and writes nothing.

Specific Task(s)

Have Claude Code run token-diet review and then token-diet estimate on a project, and report the letter grade and the projected token-reduction percentage.

Specific Prompt(s)

Tell Claude Code: Put this project on a token diet - run token-diet review and estimate, then show me the grade and the projected savings.

Additional Comments

Published on npm as token-diet-cli (the bare token-diet name is taken). MIT, zero runtime dependencies, 191 tests, CI on Node 18/20/22. The README has a demo GIF
