25% more output from your coding agent's tokens. That's what our first 20 users are seeing. Thinker caches what your agent already knows about your codebase and strips unused tools, plugins, and tool output from its context. It also analyzes your instruction files and past sessions to give you insights on where you can cut down wasted context.

Could you build this?
Partial A proxy that forwards agent traffic and caches context is buildable, but the claimed ~20% token savings without quality loss depends on context-pruning research and tuning.
What it would actually take: A real version is an HTTP proxy compatible with major model APIs, with logic for trimming stale context, caching repository knowledge, and maintaining instruction files. The hard part is pruning context without degrading agent output, which needs evaluation harnesses and benchmark tasks. This requires LLM systems experience and empirical testing rather than just code generation.
