What it does
genshijin defines a concise Japanese style for agent replies. Users choose polite, normal or extreme compression; the agent removes filler and shortens phrasing according to the level. Commands, code and meaningful negatives must be preserved. The Claude Code plugin adds hooks that reinforce the mode across sessions and messages. Additional skills apply the approach to commits, reviews and saved notes.
Who it is for. Japanese-speaking coding teams that prefer brief operational replies with adjustable compression.
Good fit when
- Technical conversation contains excessive polite openings.
- A work message needs brevity while keeping respectful language.
- Review comments should be short without abbreviating identifiers.
- A long session drifts back toward verbose replies.
Not a fit when
- You expect guaranteed savings across all session tokens.
- The text must teach a reader with detailed explanations.
- Extreme Japanese shorthand would confuse the recipient.
Example request
Shorten this Japanese explanation in genshijin polite mode, preserving negatives, commands and exact numbers.Limitations
The main rules target Japanese, so evaluate other languages separately. Heavy compression can remove useful context even when code and numbers survive; review text before sharing. Automatic hook reinforcement depends on the client and installation method; one skill file does not provide the entire plugin. The author’s savings percentages come from specific examples and do not guarantee the same result on your work.
How to disable. Disable the mode or set `GENSHIJIN_DEFAULT_MODE=off` so hooks stop adding the rules. Disable the plugin and installed integrations for full removal.
FAQ
How do I enable normal mode?
Run `/genshijin` in Claude Code.
How do I keep polite language?
Use `/genshijin 丁寧` for concise but polite Japanese.
Where can I see the mode?
The plugin can show it in the status line after badge setup.
What happens to warnings about dangerous actions?
Before a warning or confirmation request, the agent must temporarily return to ordinary clear Japanese. Check the message before agreeing to the action.
Can I install just the skill?
Yes. The README provides a standalone SKILL.md method without automatically installing plugin hooks.
