squeez

End-to-end token optimizer for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI Codex CLI. Compresses bash output up to 95%, collapses redundant calls, and injects a terse prompt persona — automatically, with zero new runtime dependencies.

Install

Three methods — all produce the same result (binary at ~/.claude/squeez/bin/squeez, hooks registered).

curl (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/claudioemmanuel/squeez/main/install.sh | sh

Windows: requires Git Bash. Run the command above inside Git Bash — PowerShell/CMD are not supported.

npm / npx

# Install globally
npm install -g squeez

# Or run once without installing
npx squeez

Downloads the correct pre-built binary for your platform (macOS universal, Linux x86_64/aarch64, Windows x86_64). Requires Node ≥ 16.

cargo (build from source)

cargo install squeez

Builds from crates.io. Requires Rust stable. On Windows you also need MSVC C++ Build Tools.

Supported hosts

squeez setup auto-detects every CLI present on disk and registers the hooks. squeez uninstall removes them. Session data and config.ini are preserved so reinstall is lossless.

Host	Memory file	Bash wrap	Session memory	Budget inject (Read/Grep)	Notes
Claude Code	`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`	✅ native	✅ native	✅ native	Restart Claude Code to pick up hooks
Copilot CLI	`~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md`	✅ native	✅ native	✅ native	Restart Copilot CLI after setup
OpenCode	`~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md`	✅ native	✅ native	✅ native	Plugin at `~/.config/opencode/plugins/squeez.js`; MCP tool calls skip hooks (upstream sst/opencode#2319)
Gemini CLI	`~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`	✅ native	✅ native	🟡 soft via `GEMINI.md`	`BeforeTool` rewrite schema pending upstream docs (google-gemini/gemini-cli#25629)
Codex CLI	`~/.codex/AGENTS.md`	✅ native	✅ native	🟡 soft via `AGENTS.md`	`apply_patch` hooks landed in 0.123.0 (#18391); `updatedInput` + `read_file`/`grep` hook surface still pending (openai/codex#18491)
Pi	`~/.pi/agent/skills/squeez/SKILL.md`	✅ native	✅ via skill	✅ native	TypeScript extension at `~/.pi/agent/extensions/squeez/index.ts`; restart Pi after setup

Manage

squeez setup                  # register into every detected host
squeez setup --host=<slug>    # register into one host
squeez uninstall              # remove squeez entries from every detected host
squeez uninstall --host=<slug>

Slugs: claude-code / copilot / opencode / gemini / codex / pi.

After install, restart the CLI you use to pick up the new hooks.

Uninstall

squeez uninstall              # preserves session data + config.ini
bash ~/.claude/squeez/uninstall.sh   # (legacy) full wipe, if the script exists
