Context Budget Keeper

Trim context and cache knowledge so coding agent quotas last the whole week

Problem

An indie developer reports hitting Claude token limits halfway through the week even on a Max plan, forcing switches to Codex or Cursor and re-learning each harness. Much of the waste comes from repetitive background context sent with every request.

Solution

A local proxy layer that compresses and deduplicates context before handing tasks to a coding agent, caches stable knowledge as reusable snippets, and tracks token consumption per request. Users see what was trimmed and how much quota was saved.

Users

Indie developers and AI coding enthusiasts who heavily use Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor

MVP

Local context compression and dedup; project-level knowledge cache; token consumption dashboard; per-agent usage comparison; export of before/after prompts

Revenue

Open-source core plus paid Pro tier (advanced caching strategies, team-shared knowledge base) at $9–29/month

Why now

Coding agent quotas are a high-frequency pain point but users lack observability and optimization tools; indie developers are heavy users themselves and can build exactly what's needed
