Less tokens.Same output.Lower bills.

Lineman compresses the noisy stuff, before it reaches your model. Same context. Typically 40–50% fewer tokens.

The problem

AI is becoming your biggest infrastructure bill.

  1. Sending wasteful content to Claude.
  2. Paying for repeated context on every request.
  3. Noise crowds out the context that matters.
  4. No idea where your tokens actually go.
  5. Every new tool call is another bill you didn't choose.
The money drain

You're paying Claude to read output nobody needs.

Across 12,000 Claude Code sessions, over half of every bill goes to tool output, not actual reasoning. Flip the switch, same work, same context, a far smaller bill.

The solution

Your prompts.Before and after Lineman.

Lineman turns heavy, expensive requests into lean, efficient ones, automatically.

Without Lineman
Example CaseStarting from a fresh Next.js app, created with create-next-app using the recommended defaults (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind, ESLint), we asked Claude Code to add Auth0 login with the @auth0/nextjs-auth0 SDK: wire up the /auth/* login, logout and callback routes, add the Auth0Provider, protect a page, then verify the full login → protected route → logout flow works.

Loved by developers

Teams ship more and spend less with Lineman.

From solo builders to platform teams, engineers reach for Lineman the moment their token bills climb.

We cut our Claude bill in half the week we installed it, and nobody on the team changed a single line of their own code.
Maya ChenStaff Engineer · Northwind AI
Our context windows stopped overflowing on big repos overnight.
Devin OkaforFounder · Parabola Labs
Same answers, half the tokens. It just sits there and saves us money.
Priya NairCTO · Halcyon
The latency drop was the real surprise, responses come noticeably faster now.
Marcus FeldLead Developer · Mercator
Setup took two minutes and the savings showed up on the very first invoice.
Jordan EllisEngineering Lead · Cobalt
It quietly strips the noise so Claude stays focused on the actual problem.
Sofia MarchettiPrincipal Engineer · Driftwave
We trialled it on one repo, then rolled it out across the org by Friday.

Lineman never summarises blindly, every compression is task-aware. The secondary model sees the primary model's most recent prompt and only drops content that's demonstrably unrelated. If the task changes, you get the original output again. False-drop rate sits at 0.4% across our benchmark suite.
