The 5-repo chain that stops Claude eating your tokens

Five repos, chained in order. Each one seals the leak the one before it leaves open. Install commands, the order, and a check for each.

5Two honest caveats

The chain

Link	Repo	What it gives you	What it leaves open
01	OmniRoute	Access. One local endpoint in front of hundreds of providers and free tiers.	Every new session still starts blind.
02	claude-mem	Memory. Sessions captured, compressed, injected into the next one.	That memory quietly costs you tokens.
03	claude-hud • ccusage	Visibility. Live burn in your status line, cost reports from your own logs.	Seeing the burn does not reduce it.
04	caveman	Cuts the talk. Terse replies, filler stripped, code untouched.	The code it writes is still bloated.
05	ponytail	Cuts the work. A lazy senior-dev check before anything gets written.	Nothing. This is the real saving.

That’s the first part. The rest of this guide is free too.
