Open Source Tool 'Vomit' Cleans Up Claude's Token Vomit Using a Local LLM
jedisct1 · x · 2026-08-21
Developer Zach Ahn released Vomit, an open-source tool designed to clean up the excessive "token vomit" generated by Claude 5 (likely referring to high-thinking models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet).
Core Mechanics & Features:
- Local Refinement: Pipes Claude's verbose output through a local LLM to condense it into clear English.
- Fully Local: No telemetry, no external dependencies, and privacy-focused.
- Caveats: The local LLM lacks access to Claude's internal actions or file context, leading to potential hallucinations; it is slow; currently Mac-tested only; and there is a risk of completely missing the original message (tools like AgentsView are recommended to view raw logs).
Installation: Available via go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest, requiring a self-configured local LLM connection.
