AI Analysis

●●SolidBig BrainNiche Gem

Wenyan mode swaps words for Classical Chinese chars to beat CJK tokenizers.

Strengths
  • Lemma deduplication cuts tokens further than simple stopword removal.
  • Transparent fallback passes original text if compression fails.
  • Works across 20+ agents without modifying their code.
Weaknesses
  • Aggressive stripping risks losing nuance in complex reasoning prompts.
  • OpenAI tokenizers see less benefit from the Classical Chinese mode.
Target Audience

Developers using CLI AI agents like Claude Code or Cursor
