New plugin cuts Claude Code replies in half

Original: Show HN: Terse, a Claude Code plugin that halves reply length by cutting filler

A developer has released Terse, an open-source plugin for Claude Code that automatically trims the assistant's replies by removing filler, aiming to halve response length without losing substance. The tool is hosted on GitHub for anyone to install and adapt. Early readers are weighing in on whether shorter AI answers are actually more useful for day-to-day coding work.

Why now: Developers are widely frustrated with verbose AI coding assistant responses, so a tool promising tighter output draws attention.
