lowfat-extended: Massively Extended Fork of lowfat

I just released a major extension of lowfat — the lightweight CLI tool that reduces AI agent token costs by filtering unnecessary CLI output before it reaches your LLM.

What's new in this fork

33 embedded plugins covering the full developer ecosystem:

  • Runtime/package managers: npm, yarn, pnpm, bun, cargo, go, dotnet, flutter, mvn, pip
  • Infra: docker, podman, kubectl, helm, terraform, ansible, act, aws
  • System: git, gh, systemctl, journalctl, ls, find, grep, tree, curl, sops, rustup, make, just

13 new built-in processors: sort, uniq, collapse, sample:N, shorten, line-number, reverse, json-grep:.field=regex, tail:N, trim, first-word, join-lines, count

Key stats

  • 246 files changed, +6,700 insertions
  • Version 0.7.0 (upstream was 0.6.8)
  • Local-first, zero telemetry
  • Compatible with Claude Code, OpenCode, shell hooks

vs RTK

RTK ships 100+ profiles but lowfat-extended takes a different approach: curated high-quality filters + a powerful pipeline DSL so you can compose your own.
