Clean up Claude 5's token vomit with a separate LLM

Which Claude 5? Opus 5 does seem to have diarrhea of the mouth. But Fable 5 hasn't been so bad for me. Or perhaps it is just better at adhering to my guidelines.

Pre Trump-castration Fable was verbose, but had a point, and used that wordiness to say or show the indeed intelligent things it reasoned about. This, whatever this is, is something else.-

Is the nerfed Fable worse or better than Opus 5?

The problem here is that "better" is load-bearing, and I mean this half-seriously :)

I would opine:

- Nerfed Fable is worse than Fable

- ... and I would argue Opus 5 is worse than nerfed Fable, to the point I've found it unusable.-

Opus 5 (author here). My toilet seat is plastic though, I only used Fable while it was available on the $20 plan! That's fair though, it was relatively fine when I did use it, perhaps I should specify.
