Open-source Claude Code plugin uses Jev to score and prune context in milliseconds instead of summarizing

Developer tamarajtran open-sourced fast-jev-compaction, a Claude Code plugin (2.3k stars) that replaces lossy summarization-based context compaction with JEV scoring: every tool call and result is scored in one fast request, stale ones are dropped or truncated, and everything kept stays verbatim.
- Traditional compaction asks an LLM to summarize old turns, and file paths, exact errors, constraints, or commands can disappear in the summary
- The plugin never rewrites content — it only deletes what JEV says is no longer needed, finishing in tens of milliseconds with minimal token cost
- Also usable as an npm library; JEV's co-founder and @typesafeai co-founder Diogo Almeida publicly endorsed it as a way for coding agents to bypass traditional KV-cache compaction
