Claude Workspace Optimizer

The Claude Workspace Optimizer is a free tool that helps improve how AI assistants like Claude Code manage information. It's designed to fix problems that can slow down or confuse the AI, making it work more efficiently.

Benefits

This tool helps solve several common issues. It fixes "invisible memory" where Claude might miss important information because it can only see the first 200 lines of a file. It also addresses "context bloat," which happens when too much unneeded information, like guides or documentation, is loaded every time the AI is used. Another problem it solves is "inline memory bloat," where large pieces of code or data are put directly into the AI's memory instead of being linked separately. Finally, it helps set up "missing reference tiering," which means the AI can access important information when needed without having it constantly loaded.

Use Cases

The Claude Workspace Optimizer analyzes your AI project's settings and files, looking specifically at the.claude/directory, MEMORY.md, rules, hooks, and other configurations. It provides a detailed report that shows you exactly what the problems are and how serious they are. This report includes a health score for your workspace and clear steps on how to fix things. You can then give this report to Claude Code, and it will help make the suggested changes. This tool is useful for anyone using Claude Code who wants to make their AI assistant smarter and faster.

Vibes

In testing, this tool significantly reduced the amount of information the AI had to process, cutting down session context by 66%. It also made sure that 100% of the AI's memory was visible, compared to a typical 54% in unoptimized workspaces. Unoptimized workspaces usually score between 40 and 60, while optimized ones can reach 85 to 95, showing a big improvement in performance.

Additional Information

Oaken AI created this tool based on methods used by Anthropic, the developers of Claude. The optimizer works entirely on your computer, so your data stays private. It is shared freely under the MIT license. Oaken AI also offers other tools like the Agent Auditor for more in-depth analysis and provides professional services for businesses.
