Claude Code plugin that halves token cost

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built WOZCODE, a Claude Code plugin that cuts token consumption and cost by 25-55%, runs 5-10x faster on database tasks, and improves performance on coding benchmarks. It plugs directly into Claude Code, letting developers keep their existing workflows but get results that are faster, cheaper, and better.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA. The company is based here and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we and the team are already located, close to users, partners, and technical talent we work with.
