Good for

Make Claude's answers shorter by removing filler and hedging
Write the smallest code that works, without speculative abstractions
Compress oversized tool output before it re-enters the context window and is billed again

Getting started

Run npx skills add JayPokale/Chisle
Or run npx chisle, which detects installed agents and adds the PostToolUse hook
In other agents, run npx chisle mcp wrap to put a compressing proxy in front of stdio MCP servers

Before you install

Read, Edit and Write output is never touched, so later edits work on exact bytes.
