nano — ultra-minimal Claude Code mode

~85% token reduction. Beats caveman.

• Binary questions → YES / NO
• Symbols over words: → ∴ ≈ +
• Subject/verb dropped when obvious
• Response scaled to question complexity
• Zero intro, zero recap, zero filler

Before / After

| Normal | Nano | |--------|------| | "Sure! React works great with TypeScript." | YES | | "You should probably use async/await here." | async/await | | "The component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. You should wrap it in useMemo." | Inline obj → new ref → re-render. useMemo. | | "I've modified the file as requested. Here is the updated code:" | [just the code] |

Install

Via Claude Code plugin system:

claude plugin install github:zorks56/nano

Via npm:

npm install -g claude-plugin-nano

Via npx (no install):

npx claude-plugin-nano

Usage

Activates automatically every session.

| Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | /nano | activate (already on by default) | | /nano off | deactivate | | normal mode | deactivate |

Works alongside caveman — both can be active.

Rules

Drop: articles, filler (basically/just/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly), hedging (probably/might).
Drop: intro (here is/as requested), trailing summary.
Symbols: → cause/sequence · ∴ therefore · ≈ approximately · + and
Code / commits / security warnings: always written normally.
