Amoeba Brain Claude skill cuts tokens by removing code elements

A new Claude code skill named Amoeba Brain Claude (ABC) has been developed to reduce token usage by stripping out non-essential elements. This skill removes elements such as unnecessary blanks, single-letter names, line breaks, and exception handling. The goal is to create a more token-efficient version of Claude for coding tasks, similar to a previous project called Caveman. AI

IMPACT Offers a novel approach to reducing LLM inference costs for coding tasks.
