I've been using Claude Code Extension in VSCode (no phone-home configured), backed by DwarfStar on a LAN local MBPro 128GB M5. The context bloat is horrendous, leading to 5-10 minute prefills.
I've recently been exploring tools like headroom to help manage context, with some limited "success" (for some definition of success). What do others with similar setups do?
(I kind of hate to abandon Claude Code, as it seems to be the most capable coding assistant of the limited set of tools I've tried. But that horrendous context bloat is really painful!)
OMP. Opinionated but completely configurable. Probably the beat to have a lot of batteries and let you uninstall what you don’t want. Sadly Anthropic forbids its use on their subscriptions.
Thanks. I'll kick the tires on OMP a little harder...
Isn't OMP sort of Claude in Pi's clothing? I tried it and it seemed like I was using Claude. But if tweaking is needed there then why not stick to Pi and add/strip as needed?

This! How are these companies even allowed to do this while they anyway charge for either API access or limit usage in the generic plans. It's blatantly just "I don't want you to spend less per generic task!".
