cut Claude Code token usage by rendering text context as images
About the project
A local proxy for Claude Code that renders bulky context (system prompt, tool docs, older history) as PNG images to cut input token usage. It only rewrites requests, never the model's output.
Useful for
- Run the proxy and point Claude Code at it via ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to lower the token bill.
- Export sources or a git diff to PNG pages with pxpipe export for uploading into image-capable clients.
- Check token savings in ~/.pxpipe/events.jsonl before enabling compression permanently.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
