Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens

What happened

Hi HN, Not sure if anyone would be interested. But, just wanted to share that I've been maintaining my small tool called 'lowfat' that helps me filters some of my verbose CLI output.

The significance

It's a single binary, works as an agent hook or a shell wrapper. It has a plugin system to customize filters per command.

The context

The idea is pretty simple: agents don't need the full kubectl get -o yaml or any 10k-line dump to make decisions

The read

It has a plugin system to customize filters per command. So that lowfat sits in between, strips the noise, and passes through what matters.
