Stop re-sending stale context every turn.

A tiny local gateway that prunes stale, repeated context from every request — your transcript stays untouched.

A Claude Code coding session on the left runs beside the local Trimwire gateway on the right. As the conversation grows, Claude Code's context bar fills; Trimwire intercepts the POST /v1/messages request, prunes redundant messages[] (repeated tool output, superseded reads, oversized logs) while keeping the current task and edits, and forwards a smaller request — so the context bar drops, then grows again as work continues. The transcript is never changed. Byte and token figures are an illustrative demo session.

what trimwire does

It keeps what matters, trims the rest.

Keeps your recent work and edits, then strips repeated or heavy tool output before each request.

  • Older turns kept raw
≈21–73% smaller request · scales with the session — more tool output, more trimmed

Runs locally on every request — no model call, and your transcript is never changed.

  2. 2It wires ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for you, then runs as a local service.
  3. 3Every request is pruned locally before it leaves — your transcript never changes.
