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 while leaving Claude's reasoning and saved transcript unchanged. 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. 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 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 unchanged.
