mpecan/tokf — Config-driven CLI tool that compresses command output before it reaches an LLM context

Description and use

mpecan/tokf is a config‑driven command‑line utility that intercepts and compresses the output of any terminal command before it is fed into a large language model’s context window, helping to stay within token limits and reduce costs. By allowing users to define custom compression rules (e.g., truncation, summarization, or pattern‑based filtering) via a simple configuration file, tokf integrates seamlessly into existing workflows and DevOps pipelines. It’s especially useful for AI‑enhanced tooling where large command outputs need to be processed efficiently by LLMs.

Problem

mpecan/tokf helps add AI capability without starting from a blank model stack.

Outcome

Early or unclear: treat as research material until maintenance, releases, docs, and issue activity are verified.

Workflow

• prototype AI features
• build RAG or agent workflows
• evaluate model tooling
