About
terse is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by Karl Lowenbjer. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Community GitHub marketplaces). We first saw it on 2026-10-26 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-27.
Cuts Claude Code reply length in half and removes mannered prose. 22 writing rules as a forced output style, a per-turn reminder against drift in long sessions, the same rules for subagents, and a context meter for the status line. Measured on 20 prompts against a real codebase: about half the words at 30% to 50% lower cost. Rules, method and numbers per model: github.com/lowenbjer/claude-terse

Want this mark on your plugin in our catalog?
Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record, and you can show this mark on the card, with live banners for your site and README. How verification works
You also get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from public marketplace files in GitHub repositories of their authors. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
