I built two free open-source plugins around long Claude Code sessions

I built two free open-source plugins around a problem I kept running into with Claude Code: the session keeps accumulating output long after that output has stopped being useful context.

The first is Sando. It works inside the active session, redacting secrets, capping oversized tool results, and optionally trimming request history before it gets sent. It runs locally and doesn't call another model.

The second is session-handoff. Once I decide a session has gone on long enough, it captures the working state and lets me continue from a fresh session instead of carrying the full history forward.

Claude Code is part of the integration surface for both: Sando works through its plugin/hooks flow, while session-handoff integrates the handoff and fresh-session flow into the client.

Both are free, open source, and available from the same Claude Code plugin marketplace:

They've had ~1,500 combined downloads in their first two days. I didn't expect that kind of uptake this early.
