Devs build a local CLI to stop Claude Code from burning context on giant stack traces
ApprehensiveRise2336 · reddit · 2026-11-01
A developer complains that Claude Code burns half the context window looping over raw stderr and huge stack traces. He built a tiny local CLI ("dot") that sits between terminal and agent, strips build noise locally, and passes only the actual error line to Claude. He asks how heavy Max/Pro users handle this — trimming system prompts, local wrappers, or eating the token cost — and how to stop random fix attempts when the issue is just a broken env var.
