You commented PLUGINS. Here are all five, in the order from the reel. Each one fixes a problem the one before it created, so install them in this order.

How to read this: the chain table shows why each one is there. The install section has the exact commands, one tool at a time. Open the toggle under each one to see what a working install looks like.

The chain

<aside> 🔗

Unlimited usage is no use if Claude forgets your project. Memory fills your context. So you cut the tokens. Then you check the work, and you make it plan first.

</aside>

# Tool What it fixes What it costs you Runs as
1 OmniRoute You hit your limit and stop. It falls back to other providers, many of them free. A local server you keep running. Fallback models are mostly not Claude. Local app (npm)
2 Claude Mem You re-explain your project every morning. It remembers between sessions. Remembered context takes up room. Hence number 3. Claude Code plugin
3 Caveman Padding in every reply. Cuts about 65% of output tokens. Replies read terse. That is the point. Claude Code plugin
4 Codex One model marking its own homework. OpenAI's model reviews your code from inside Claude Code. Bills to your ChatGPT account or OpenAI key, not Claude. Claude Code plugin
5 Superpowers Claude guessing and charging ahead. It brainstorms and writes a plan before any code. A few extra minutes up front on each task. Claude Code plugin

<aside> 🏷️

Orange = a Claude Code plugin, installed with /plugin inside Claude Code. Blue = a small app you install from your terminal with npm and leave running.

Install them, in order

Step Tool Roughly
1 OmniRoute 10 minutes
2 Claude Mem 3 minutes
3 Caveman 1 minute
4 Codex 5 minutes
5 Superpowers 1 minute

About 20 minutes for all five. Restart Claude Code after each plugin install.

1. OmniRoute

One local endpoint in front of hundreds of AI providers. When one runs out, it switches to the next. The repo lists 352 providers, 150+ with free tiers, and about 1.62 billion free tokens a month across them.

In your terminal, not inside Claude Code:

npm install -g omniroute
omniroute

Open the dashboard at http://localhost:20128. Go to Providers and connect a free one. OpenCode Free needs no sign-up. Then start Claude Code through it:
