Established

This tool helps software developers reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of using AI coding assistants like Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. It works by intelligently filtering and compressing the output of common command-line tools (like `git status` or `ls`) before they are sent to your AI assistant. Developers get more relevant context from their command outputs while significantly lowering the number of tokens consumed by their AI, leading to faster interactions and reduced billing.

6,644 stars. Actively maintained with 218 commits in the last 30 days.

Use this if you are a software developer frequently interacting with AI coding assistants and want to reduce your token usage and get more concise, relevant command output from your terminal.

Not ideal if you rarely use AI coding assistants or prefer to see the full, unfiltered output of every command for debugging purposes.
