Summary
A free GitHub plugin called Context Mode reduces token waste in Claude Code by up to 98% by sandboxing tool calls and only sending back essential output, saving session state and allowing Claude to resume where it left off.

You’re losing thousands of tokens every Claude Code session. The people who installed ONE free plugin aren’t.
The reason is every tool call it makes dumps its raw junk into your context window, and you pay for every byte.
After 30 minutes of real work, 40% of your window is junk Claude never needed to read.
Context Mode runs those calls in a sandbox and only sends back what matters:
→ A 56 KB snapshot becomes 299 bytes → A full session’s 315 KB of raw output becomes 5 KB → 98% less context waste, straight from their published benchmarks → It saves your session state too, so Claude picks up exactly where it left off after compacting
Free, on GitHub, 18K stars, two commands to install.
It’s #4 in my Claude Code skills article below, with the other 9 that made the cut. Bookmark this.
