## What it is
A Claude Code plugin that rewrites assistant messages into plain English using a local LLM via ollama, or alternatively the codex CLI, Anthropic API, or any OpenAI-compatible API. It is display-only, leaving Claude's original reasoning and transcripts untouched, and fails open so errors never corrupt output.

## Use cases
- simplify jargon-heavy AI assistant responses into plain English
- make Claude Code output easier to read
- rewrite assistant messages in the session's own language
- plain-language rewriting of markdown files
- use a local LLM to simplify text without sending data to the cloud

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code and find its responses too dense or jargon-heavy
- you want rewrites handled locally via ollama for privacy
- you need a display-only translation layer that never alters saved transcripts

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, production-hardened tool (it's a working prototype)
- you don't run ollama or lack an API key for a remote provider
- you need the plugin to modify Claude's actual reasoning or saved output
