A developer tested the viral plugin (560+ stars) that strips filler from Claude Code responses. Thinking tokens are untouched. A March 2026 paper found brevity constraints actually improved accuracy by 26 percentage points on certain benchmarks. Saving tokens while potentially improving quality is a rare win-win.
