Clean up Claude 5's token vomit with a separate LLM

Vomit converts Claude's token vomit into English by piping it through a local LLM. It's fully local (no telemetry) and has no external dependencies.

Disclaimer:

• The local LLM can only see what Claude tries to communicate (no access to any actions or files), so it hallucinates a bit
• It's pretty slow
• This is totally vibe-coded, only tested on Mac
• There is a possibility you'll completely miss Claude's message. You can use something like AgentsViewto get the original messages, as Vomit does not touch anything during runtime (except technically it writes files to your TMPDIR)

go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest

vomit init

vomit scrub -claude

In addition, there's a non-invasive mode if you want to run Vomit on the side.

vomit list

. List Claude session identifiersvomit tail [<session_identifier>]

. Translate Claude's tokens for the specified session, or follow the latest onevomit help

. See for more commands

This should work with:

If you don't have a local LLM set up already, I think I recommend using Llama.app, then down GPT-OSS 20B through it. Run the init

subcommand after you set this up.
