context-mode: Context Window Optimization for AI Coding Agents Claims 98% Reduction — 9.1K Stars, +302 Today

GitHub·high signal

mksglu's context-mode sandboxes tool output to keep raw data out of the AI context window, reducing 315 KB to 5.4 KB across 12 coding agent platforms. Uses SQLite + FTS5 for session continuity with BM25 retrieval of only relevant events after conversation compaction. Promotes a 'think in code' paradigm where the LLM writes scripts instead of reading files into context.
