I can't stand how wordy claude is. I've tried to get it to shut up using CLAUDE.md, skills, etc. But nothing worked and I started appending "respond tersely" to every prompt.
This plugin automates that, appending the following (without the link) to every single prompt:
respond tersely in Simplified Technical English
This makes using claude bearable for me.
If the prompt ends with noterse, the hook adds nothing.
The hook is a bash script.
On Windows, use WSL or Git Bash.
Add the marketplace, then install the plugin:
claude plugin marketplace add bigskysoftware/be-terse
claude plugin install be-terse@be-terse
Restart Claude Code. Check the install:
claude plugin list
If you have a clone, point the marketplace at the directory:
claude plugin marketplace add /path/to/be-terse
claude plugin install be-terse@be-terse
claude plugin uninstall be-terse
claude plugin marketplace remove be-terse
