claude-warden(token guardian) is a hook system for [Claude Code][claude-code] that intercepts every tool call before and after execution. It silences verbose commands, compresses large outputs, blocks unsafe network calls, enforces subagent budgets, and surfaces a live statusline — saving tens of thousands of tokens per session with negligible added latency.

Quickstart

1. Install prerequisites: jq (required). Optional: rg, fd.
2. Install hooks into ~/.claude/ (symlink mode):

   ./install.sh

3. Choose a profile when prompted (or pass --profile standard).
4. Start a new Claude Code session. Hooks run automatically.

[!TIP] Run `./install.sh --dry-run` first to preview every change before anything touches `~/.claude/`.

./install.sh --dry-run
