claudish-to-english

claudish-to-english is a Claude Code plugin that uses a language model to produce a plain-language rewrite of each assistant message. Its display hook buffers streamed message chunks, rewrites the completed message through Ollama by default or through the Codex CLI, Anthropic API, or an OpenAI-compatible API, and displays the result in append or replace mode while leaving Claude's reasoning and saved transcript unchanged. It follows the input or configured output language and supports configurable rewrite styles, prompts, models, and runtime toggles through the /claudish command and environment variables.

An optional PostToolUse hook rewrites Markdown files in a configured directory, either into a sibling .plain.md file or in place. The hooks fail open: provider errors, missing dependencies or keys, timeouts, unavailable models, and capped outputs leave the original message or file intact. The default provider runs locally through Ollama; cloud providers send assistant messages or enabled Markdown contents to their configured APIs. The repository describes the project as a working prototype and distributes it as an MIT-licensed Claude Code plugin and marketplace repository.
