Claude Code is powerful — but wasteful
Without optimization, Claude makes redundant round-trips to read the same files multiple times. CodeCondense collapses these into single efficient calls.
| Tool call | Tokens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Read file | 8,240 | $0.041 |
| Search codebase | 6,120 | $0.031 |
| Read file again | 8,240 | $0.041 |
| Read imports | 4,800 | $0.024 |
| Search again | 5,900 | $0.030 |
| Read file again | 8,240 | $0.041 |
| Edit file | 1,200 | $0.006 |
| Total: 7 calls | 42,740 | $0.214 |
| Tool call | Tokens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Investigate (AST+search+refs) | 1,800 | $0.009 |
| BatchEdit (all changes) | 800 | $0.004 |
| Total: 2 calls | 2,600 | $0.013 |
Works in 3 steps
Zero configuration. Install, forget, save money.
Install in seconds
One command installs CodeCondense as a Claude Code plugin. No config changes, no workflow disruption.
Tools are replaced
CodeCondense transparently replaces native tools with optimized versions. Claude uses the same API — but each call does far more.
Watch costs drop
Every session CodeCondense tracks tokens saved, dollars saved, and calls eliminated. No code leaves your machine.
Every token saved is money back in your pocket
Six tightly integrated tools that replace Claude's native toolchain with a smarter, cheaper equivalent.
AST Symbol Index
270× less tokens270× faster code search. 37 language grammars powered by tree-sitter. Jump to any definition instantly without reading whole files.
Smart Search
7 calls → 1Ripgrep + AST in one call. Delta mode saves 80–95% on re-reads by returning only changed lines since last read.
Batch Edit
5 calls → 1All your edits in one roundtrip. Pre-write backup on every change. Atomic multi-file refactors with zero redundant reads.
Investigate
4–8 calls → 1Symbol definition + all usages + file density map in one call. The grep→read→find-definition dance collapsed into a single round-trip.
Session Memory
540× cheaper recallPersistent decay-scored memory. Claude never has amnesia again. Decay formula: score × 0.95^days ensures freshness without bloat.
Model Router
77% cheaperRoutes simple tasks to Haiku, complex ones to Opus. 77% cost reduction on routing alone. Transparent to Claude.
Your code never leaves your machine. Not even to us.
CodeCondense runs entirely inside your Claude Code process. There is no cloud component, no proxy, and no data collection beyond anonymous usage counters.
Full security detailsNo code upload
Your source code is processed entirely on your machine. Nothing is transmitted.
No prompt interception
CodeCondense replaces tools — it never touches your prompts or Claude's responses.
EU servers for counts only
Anonymous aggregate counters (tokens saved, calls) stored in Romania. GDPR compliant.

Developers love it
Real results from real engineers.
“CodeCondense cut my Claude Code bill from $140/month to $38. I didn't change anything — same workflow, same prompts. The AST index is genuinely magic: it finds symbols 270x faster than reading files.”

Staff Engineer · FinTech startup
“I was skeptical about a 'plugin' reducing costs. Then I watched the session counter: 47 calls in vanilla Claude, 11 with CodeCondense on the same task. The Investigate tool alone is worth it.”
Maria S.
Senior Developer · Open-source contributor
“The session memory means Claude actually remembers the decisions we made last week. No more re-explaining context every session. That productivity gain alone justifies it beyond the token savings.”
