Introducing Lineman
Lineman is now available for Claude Code. It compresses file reads, log triage, search, and web fetches before they reach your primary model, cutting token spend by 40%+ while keeping the quality you'd expect.

Four commands inside Claude Code and you're done. No config, no workflow changes. Your next big read just costs less.
Works with your stack
One install, every language. Lineman compresses data-heavy work whether you're in TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, or anything else Claude Code touches.
All news
Your code is yours
Lineman processes tool output to compress it, then moves on. We don't train on your code. A plain-English account of how your data is handled.
The parts you need, not the whole dump
Opening a 1,200-line file to use three functions shouldn't burn your context budget. Lineman hands your model the relevant parts, not a truncated dump.
How we measured 40%+ token savings
Where the 40%+ figure comes from: 180 real-world tasks across six suites, a paired quality check, and the controls that make the comparison fair.
Less noise, more signal
A coding agent is only as good as what's in its context window. How Lineman makes sure your model sees the signal and skips the noise.
SWE-Bench Pro, in the open
Averages are easy to cherry-pick. So we publish per-task runs of Lineman against a baseline on real GitHub issues, and let you check the work.
Security at Lineman
Security isn't a page you visit once. Our posture, from how we guard your account to how your code is handled in transit.
Fast by default, resilient under load
A sidekick that slows you down isn't a sidekick. Speed and graceful fallback aren't bolted on. They're constraints we designed Lineman around.
See your savings before you commit
Don't take our word for it. The calculator turns your workload into a projected token and cost reduction before you sign up.
How we prove every change saves you tokens
It's easy to claim a tool saves tokens. Proving a specific change did, without quietly costing quality, is the hard part. The measurement discipline behind our numbers.
Why a sidekick beats a bigger context window
Bigger context windows feel like the answer to data overload. They're really a more expensive way to carry the same noise. Here's the alternative.
The case for task-specific model routing
The model that's great at solving your problem is an expensive way to read a log file. Our whitepaper makes the case for routing data-heavy work elsewhere.
Trust, data protection, and compliance
Who we are, the rules we operate under, and the commitments we make about your data: UK GDPR and the company behind Lineman.
