Context Diet for Code Agents

Compress verbose tool output before it blows up your coding agent's context

Problem

When running coding agents like Claude Code, a single test or build log can be 30-50k characters, mostly PASSED lines, warnings, and lockfile churn. The context fills quickly, the agent forgets earlier instructions, and developers have to repeat requirements.

Solution

A compression layer for agent tool output: intercept and rewrite tool results to keep only failures, error summaries, and key diff fragments, while letting the agent expand full text on demand. Works as a Claude Code hook and can adapt to other CLI agents.

Users

Indie developers and small teams who use Claude Code / Cursor / coding agents daily

MVP

Integrate as a Claude Code hook or CLI wrapper; only compress logs and test output; show tokens saved; allow one-click view of collapsed original text; simple on/off and threshold config.

Revenue

Free basic compression plus subscription for team rule library, custom filters, and usage stats; charge per developer seat.

Why now

Coding agents are moving from experimental to daily use, making context cost and forgetting the most immediate friction; the new hook API lets indie developers stake a claim quickly.
