Token Diet applies a structured set of rules to every part of a coding agent's interaction: user replies, written artifacts, tests, code, context reads, tool calls, and sub-agent instructions. Users can choose from three enforcement levels — on, lite, and ultra — while guardrails protect critical test coverage, exact identifiers, and reasoning depth. It helps heavy AI users, engineering teams, and administrators lower token consumption and costs without losing substance.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Installs: Global configuration for each automatically detected agent · Claude Code, Codex
Run this terminal command to automatically detect Claude Code and Codex configurations and install the opt-in ultra level globally. Ultra makes low-stakes chat and status output telegraphic while keeping code, tests, documentation, commands, paths, identifiers, errors, and sub-agent instructions precise.
