<img src="assets/bench-narration.svg" alt="Every session in the benchmark suite drawn as a waveform, one spike per run, amplitude is words of play-by-play before the answer. The no-plugin lane spikes across half the suite and peaks at 266 words, silent in 13 of 30 sessions. The hush lane is close to a flat line — silent in 27 of 30, and no remaining spike tops 25 words" width="700" />

> **TL;DR** — Claude bills you for every word it reads and writes. Most of those words are logs, build output, and play-by-play you never asked for. hush trims them automatically, before they reach your bill. Install it, change nothing, pay less: $0.159 for an average session, versus $0.179 without it.
