Caveat verdict
claw-compactor
cut-your-tokens-97percent-savings-on-session-transcripts-via-observation-extraction
This token compression utility clones a public GitHub repo and runs local Python scripts for deterministic, rule-based compression of workspace files; no network calls are made during compression and no data is sent to external parties.
⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
Automated static analysis — not a human review. Caveat flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
