OpenWolf

A second brain for Claude Code.
Project intelligence, token tracking, and invisible enforcement through 6 hook scripts. Zero workflow changes.

npm version License: AGPL-3.0 Node.js


Why OpenWolf Exists

Claude Code is powerful but it works blind. It doesn't know what a file contains until it opens it. It can't tell a 50-token config from a 2,000-token module. It reads the same file multiple times in one session without noticing. It has no index of your project, no memory of your corrections, and no awareness of what it already tried.

OpenWolf gives Claude a second brain: a file index so it knows what files contain before reading them, a learning memory that accumulates your preferences and past mistakes, and a token ledger that tracks everything. All through 6 invisible hook scripts that fire on every Claude action.

Token Comparison

Tested on a large active project. Same codebase, same prompts, different setups:

OpenClaw + Claude          ██████████████████████████████████████  ~3.4M tokens
Claude CLI (no OpenWolf)   ████████████████████████████████        ~2.5M tokens
OpenWolf + Claude CLI      ████████                                ~425K tokens

**OpenWolf saved ~80% of tokens** compared to bare Claude CLI on the same project.

Across 20 projects, 132+ sessions: average token reduction of 65.8%, with 71% of repeated file reads caught and blocked. These are numbers from real usage, not benchmarks. Your results will vary by project siz
