squeeze is a Go command-line tool that takes the tool output a coding agent reads from standard input and emits back only the changes, failures, and decisions the agent uses for judgment. The latest commit 4318d7d (2026-10-23) changed only README.md. It rewrote the description into a short structure centered on installation instructions, a quick start, and documentation links, so 120 lines changed (58 lines added, 62 lines deleted), and the code is untouched.
The README explains that squeeze does not truncate but parses per format. Items the tool marks as sensitive values do not appear in the standard output either, nor in `--output json`, and the key point is that it attaches with a single pipe, with no MCP server, plugin, or hook. Installation is `go install github.com/cauebraz/squeeze/cmd/squeeze@latest`, and Go 1.27 is required. The license is MIT. The supported-format table includes terraform's plan, state, and validate plus tfjson, tflint, GitHub Actions logs, buildkit, jest and JUnit XML, kubectl, npm audit, pre-commit, checkov, trivy, pytest, go test, and generic, which is used when nothing matches any format.
The reduction figures come from a benchmark the repository compiled itself. The README states that across 13 agent tasks it used 23% fewer tokens on a median basis, and that on two tasks with small output it actually used 9% and 10% more. The example at the beginning also shows terraform plan JSON shrinking from 6,294 bytes to 485 bytes, but that is only the result of the single case the repository picked.
Since this commit changed only documentation, there is no functional difference. On the contrary, it removed the feature comparison, benchmark charts, and development guidance, replacing them with links. The README notes that there is no release yet and that the output may change until 1.0. Getting started has become easier, but since the basis for the reduction rate stays with the repository's own benchmark and there is no released version either, it is too early to decide to pin and use it now.
