claudish-to-english is a Claude Code plugin that rewrites assistant messages into plain English for display, using a local or remote language model while preserving the original response and transcript. It is used by people who want easier-to-read Claude Code output, with an optional hook for simplifying Markdown files. The catalogue entries are the plugin's hooks, instruction, skill, command, and packaging.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00066 | $0.00472 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00236 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
claudish scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Claudish, after applying "$ARGUMENTS": !"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/claudish-ctl.sh" --stdin-args <<'CLAUDISH_ARGV_EOF' $ARGUMENTS CLAUDISH_ARGV_EOF
Decide how to present the script output above, based on "$ARGUMENTS":
- Empty, "status", "menu", or "help" — the output is a preformatted dashboard. Show it to the user verbatim inside a fenced code block, unchanged, and add nothing else. (Lines marked ⚠ are
/claudishoverrides that persist across sessions — the dashboard already explains them, so do not restate.) - "last" — the output is the ORIGINAL text of the last assistant message. Reply with the literal line
<!-- claudish:original -->as the VERY FIRST line (it tells the display hook not to rewrite this reply, and is stripped from view), then one short intro line (remind the user that ctrl+o shows the whole original chat), then the text verbatim. - Anything else (on/off/append/replace/style/language/model/cycle/reset) — the output is a one-line state summary (
claudish: <state> (style: …, language: …, model: …), where styletldr= short summary,5y= explain like I'm five,caveman= blunt caveman speak,default= plain rewrite). Relay it to the user in one short line. If the script printed an error instead, show that.
Do nothing else.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
