Compress large command or file output with the local `lm-resizer` CLI and recover originals via CCR. Use when a shell or tool transcript is too large for context. Skip ordinary short commands. Lossy `--token-budget` and remote providers need existing model/GPU authorization; default compress is local lossless-first.

# LM Resizer (local CLI)
Binary: `lm-resizer` on PATH. `lm-resizer --help` lists commands. There is no `--version` / `-V` / `version` subcommand. Do not install a duplicate when the binary is already present.
Use when shrinking a large transcript helps this turn. Do not wrap every shell call.
## Compress (lossless-first)
```bash
lm-resizer compress -i <file>
lm-resizer compress -i <file> --json
```
From `compress --help`: `-q/--query`, `--token-budget` (lossy), `--json`, `--store`. Preserve notices, hashes, and errors.
Retrieve: `lm-resizer retrieve` (`retrieve --help`).
## Exec
Read `lm-resizer exec --help` first. `lm-resizer rewrite` / `rewrite-shell` show routing without running.
## Doctor / MCP
`lm-resizer doctor` — binary, store, MCP tools `lm_resizer_compress`, `lm_resizer_retrieve`, `lm_resizer_stats`.
`lm-resizer mcp` — stdio.
`lm-resizer install --help` clients: `claude`, `codex`, `cursor`, `vscode`, `all`. **No `grok` client.** Grok discovery: `grok inspect --json` → `skills`.
## Do not
- Invent flags.
- Enable `--token-budget` or a remote provider without existing authorization.
- Put secrets in `--store` fixtures.
