Toggle it on and Claude Code answers in ≤ 5 lines — until you turn it off. Open source, MIT.
Claude Code is brilliant. It's also a chatterbox. You ask a quick thing and get three paragraphs, a recap, and a "great question!" you didn't need. Reading long terminal output, dozens of times a day, is genuinely tiring.
So I built tldr — a tiny plugin that adds a persistent ON/OFF brevity mode.
The problem
Verbosity is the default for a reason: when you don't know what the user needs, more context is safer. But once you know exactly what you want, that safety net becomes noise. And nagging "be brief" every single turn doesn't stick — the model drifts back to long-form a few messages later.
