tokslayer

Tokslayer is aimed at anyone who routinely pastes large blocks of text — READMEs, research papers, documentation, support tickets, emails, or scraped web pages — into Claude and wants to cut out the noise before asking a question. It addresses the problem of 'clipboard bloat': navigation chrome, boilerplate, marketing copy, and redundant filler that waste tokens and dilute the signal Claude works with.

It's useful for developers, technical writers, and knowledge workers who want faster, cheaper, more focused responses when working with verbose source material, without losing any of the technically important details.

When a message contains a substantial pasted document followed by a task (summarize, explain, review, analyze, fix, etc.), the skill first builds a compressed representation of that content. It strips navigation, headers/footers, breadcrumbs, share links, metadata, legal boilerplate, marketing language, corporate filler, and repeated sentences, and shortens verbose phrasing only where meaning is unchanged. It explicitly preserves code blocks, stack traces, URLs, file paths, error messages, numbers, metrics, technical terms, variable names, and proper nouns exactly.

Before answering, it prints a short compression report showing the first 60 characters of the original and optimized text plus an estimated percentage reduction (estimates only, never fabricated token counts), then performs the requested task on the compressed content. For ordinary short messages or normal conversation, it stays inactive and does not rewrite anything.
