Julius trims command output to reduce AI token use
Julius is a free tool that shortens before it reaches an AI model. It removes repeated or overly long material so an uses fewer tokens and less of its when reading results.
Setup requires running "julius init-g" and then "julius doctor" to check that it works. After setup, can be by as much as 90%, while "julius savings" reports the reduction across the operator's own sessions.
Julius is designed never to make an output longer, and errors are passed through without shortening. The unfiltered version is saved to disk so removed details can be recovered, and the is available at github.com/hoophq/julius.
