Headroom is a transparent proxy between Claude Code and the Anthropic API that compresses tool outputs by removing redundant boilerplate. It extends the effective context window by 30–40%.
Launch the Headroom proxy and run a status check to verify compression gains.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
You can reduce token usage in Claude Code by using a proxy to compress tool outputs, which removes redundant boilerplate and extends the effective context window by 30-40%.
Context window compression works by intercepting tool outputs through a transparent proxy and stripping redundant boilerplate, effectively expanding the available context headroom for ongoing interactions.
You can check proxy health and compression performance by running a status check diagnostic, which verifies the proxy connection and quantifies current token savings and compression ratios.
You can tune proxy settings for context savings by using configuration reference guidance to adjust compression parameters, ensuring stable Claude Code interactions while achieving 30-40% token reduction.
Yes, context compression is applied during ongoing Claude Code sessions, intercepting API traffic through a transparent proxy to optimize token usage and maintain context headroom in real-time.
Your Claude Code session runs out of context headroom because uncompressed tool outputs contain redundant boilerplate; applying proxy compression removes this excess data to free up context space.
