Open-source project targets the 90% of terminal output that coding agents waste context on

An open-source project argues that coding agents waste most of their context on irrelevant terminal output.
The post says agents often read hundreds or thousands of lines from commands like git status, pytest, and git log, even though most of that output is noise. The result is wasted tokens, faster context exhaustion, and the agent forgetting what matters. The linked project appears to tackle that problem with an open-source approach.
