Shares the GitHub repository for the context compression tool Headroom.
The tool primarily compresses tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. According to the project's data, it can reduce token consumption for coding agents by 20% and save 60% to 95% of tokens when processing JSON data, all while maintaining the same answer quality. The project is available as a library, proxy, and MCP server.
