# compact

> Reduce token usage of source code while preserving semantics

Strips comments, removes blank lines, and shortens local identifiers to produce token-efficient source code that remains syntactically valid and semantically identical (all tests still pass).

Supports Go, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Rust.

For a single file, compacted output is written to stdout. For a directory, files are written to `--output` (default: `./compacted/`).

**Aliases:** `pack`, `minify`

## Synopsis

```bash theme={null}
supermodel compact [path] [flags]
```

| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-o, --output` | Output directory for directory mode (default `compacted`) |
| `--dry-run`    | Print stats without writing files                         |
| `-h, --help`   | Help for compact                                          |

## Examples

```bash theme={null}
# Single file → stdout
supermodel compact internal/api/client.go

# Whole repo → ./compacted/
supermodel compact .

# See savings without writing
supermodel compact --dry-run .
