Version 2.1.237 added a built-in Concise style that skips the extra model call, and still keeps error and security text in full.
Why now: The three tools appeared within about two weeks of one another, and the setting that replaces all three has been available since version 2.1.237.
Three developers built tools that pipe Claude Code's replies through a second model before display, each within about two weeks of the others, per paddo.dev's writeup. Every one of those tools adds a second inference call and an external model dependency to each reply, a cost Anthropic's own settings already remove.
vomit rewrites Claude's display text through a local OpenAI-compatible model via a hook. claudish-to-english appends a plain-English rewrite generated by Ollama under each reply. Claudette routes the same rewrite through Gemini, using the Antigravity CLI.
Anthropic already ships a fix for this. The Concise output style, added in version 2.1.237, rewrites replies without a second model call, and error reports, security warnings, and destructive-action confirmations keep their full content in Concise mode. Set "outputStyle": "Concise" in ~/.claude/settings.json and start a new session to turn it on.
None of them needed a new model call. Each builder hit the same annoyance and missed the setting that already covers it, which points to a documentation gap, not a real limit in Claude Code's output style.
