# Shorthand Toggle
Controls the LLMLingua-2 compression hook via `state.json`.
```bash
STATE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/shorthand/bin"
LOG_FILE="$HOME/.claude/plugins/shorthand/compress.log"
mkdir -p "$STATE_DIR"
if [ "$ARGUMENTS" = "off" ]; then
echo '{"enabled": "off"}' > "$STATE_DIR/state.json"
echo "Shorthand compression disabled."
elif [ "$ARGUMENTS" = "dry-run" ]; then
echo '{"enabled": "dry-run"}' > "$STATE_DIR/state.json"
echo "Shorthand dry-run enabled — stats will be logged but prompts will not be compressed."
elif [ "$ARGUMENTS" = "status" ]; then
if [ -f "$STATE_DIR/state.json" ]; then
STATE=$(python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(open('$STATE_DIR/state.json')).get('enabled','on'))")
echo "Shorthand is: $STATE"
else
echo "Shorthand is: on (default)"
fi
if [ -f "$LOG_FILE" ]; then
echo ""
echo "Recent activity:"
tail -5 "$LOG_FILE"
fi
else
echo '{"enabled": "on"}' > "$STATE_DIR/state.json"
echo "Shorthand compression enabled."
fi
