I built Governor , a Claude Code plugin for people who hit Max-plan limits during long coding sessions.

Most token-saving tools focus on making the assistant’s replies shorter. That helps, but in real Claude Code sessions the bigger waste often comes from somewhere else:

huge CLAUDE.md and project memory files

noisy test/build logs flooding context

vague prompts that trigger broad repo scans

repeated failed fixes

scope drift during long tasks

Governor tries to solve those problems directly.

What it does

Governor adds:

compact professional response mode

safe CLAUDE.md compression

protected-span validation for code, paths, commands, warnings, URLs, and env vars

Bash/test/log output filtering

local usage telemetry

optional planning and drift guardrails

rule snippets for Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Windsurf, and Cline

The goal is not to make Claude talk in a meme style.…
