 "title": "Trim large Claude Code tool results before they fill context",
 "page_title": "How to trim large Claude Code tool results before they fill context with Winnow",
 "summary": "Install Winnow as a Claude Code plugin so big Read, Bash, and Grep outputs are filtered before Claude sees them.",
 "who": "A developer using Claude Code on a large repo whose sessions fill up with long file reads and command output.",
 "problem": "Large tool results add many tokens to context, and most of the lines are not needed for the current task.",
 "outcome": "Low-relevance blocks are replaced by a three-line stub with a summary and a key to restore the full text, and a [Winnow] line marks each rewrite.",
 "steps": [
  "In ~/.claude/settings.json, add { \"env\": { \"CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS\": \"1\" } }.",
  "Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/GhalebDweikat/winnow.git`, then run `claude plugin marketplace add ./winnow` and `claude plugin install winnow@winnow`.",
  "Put TYPESAFE_API_KEY in ~/.winnow/env, or set WINNOW_JUDGE=adapter with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to use the adapter.",
  "Run `uv run --project winnow/sidecar winnow doctor` to check which keys were found and whether each backend starts.",
  "Open a new Claude Code session and read a file longer than about 1,500 characters; a [Winnow] line in the result means it is working."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the winnow repo at <repo path>, install it as a Claude Code plugin and run `uv run --project winnow/sidecar winnow doctor`. Report which judge backend initialized. Then read <target file> in a new session and confirm a [winnow] line appears in the result if the file is longer than 1,500 characters.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Hidden blocks are judged by an early-access model or by Claude Haiku 4.5 through your Anthropic account, and Winnow changes only what Claude sees, not files on disk.",
