Claude Code plugin rewrites output to plain English using local LLMs
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-19
This is a Claude Code plugin named claudish-to-english that uses a locally running Ollama model (or Anthropic/OpenAI APIs) to rewrite Claude's assistant messages into plain English in real-time.
Core Features:
- Display-level rewriting: Only changes the on-screen text; Claude's original reasoning and saved transcripts remain intact, ensuring data integrity.
- Fail-safe mechanism: Uses a "fail-open" design. If the local model or API encounters issues, the plugin automatically falls back to displaying the original text, preventing answer loss or corruption.
- Markdown rewriting: Includes an optional hook to automatically rewrite Markdown files into plain language when they are written or edited.
- Multi-backend support: Defaults to Ollama but supports switching to Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible API.
