tokenjuice 🧃

lean output compaction for terminal-heavy agent workflows.

what is tokenjuice?

tokenjuice is a deterministic output compactor for terminal-heavy agent workflows. agents and harnesses run noisy commands like git status, pnpm test, docker build, rg, or pnpm --help; tokenjuice keeps the command semantics untouched, observes the output after execution, and returns a smaller payload built from rule-driven reducers instead of dumping the whole wall of terminal text back into context.

the point is leverage: less transcript waste, fewer useless reruns, and cleaner handoff between tools without making the shell magical. raw output stays available only when you explicitly ask for it through --raw / --full or opt-in artifact storage, rules stay inspectable JSON instead of LLM vibes, and host integrations stay thin wrappers around the same core reducer instead of becoming one-off adapter logic.

OpenClaw support is bundled on the OpenClaw side. Do not run tokenjuice install openclaw; enable the bundled plugin instead:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.tokenjuice.enabled true

this requires OpenClaw 2026.4.22 or newer.

overview

tokenjuice has three surfaces. reduce compacts text that already exists, wrap runs a command and compacts the observed output, and reduce-json gives host adapters a stable machine protocol. host integrations are intentionally thin: they install a hook, extension, rule, or guidance file; call the shared compactor; and return compacted context through the host's native surface. use tokenjuice doctor hooks to check installed wiring, tokenjuice doctor <host> for one integration, and tokenjuice install <host> --local when validating the current repo build before release.

the reduction engine is rule-driven. built-in JSON rules live in src/rules, user overrides live in ~/.config/tokenjuice/rules, and project overrides live in .tokenjuice/rules; later layers override earlier ones by rule id. rules classify command output, normalize lines, keep or drop patterns, count facts, and retain deterministic head/tail slices. host adapters also apply a narrow safe-inventory policy: exact file-content reads stay raw, standalone repository inventory commands can compact, and unsafe mixed command sequences stay raw.

when a reducer gets it wrong or the task needs untouched bytes, use the explicit bypass:

tokenjuice wrap --raw -- pnpm --help
tokenjuice wrap --full -- git status

useful maintenance commands:

tokenjuice verify --fixtures
tokenjuice discover
tokenjuice doctor hooks
tokenjuice stats --timezone utc

adapter JSON

reduce-json is the machine-facing adapter command. it reads JSON from stdin or a file and always writes JSON to stdout; see the spec for envelope options and adapter behavior.

direct payload:

{
  "toolName": "exec",
  "command": "pnpm test",
  "argv": ["pnpm", "test"],
  "combinedText": "RUN  v3.2.4 /repo\n...",
  "exitCode": 1
}
