It rewrites tool output (Read, Bash, Grep) before the model sees it, removing redundancy without dropping information.</p> <h2> What I measured </h2> <p>On my own 3,567,170-token dogfood corpus: 62.6% median tool-output savings, range 37.4 to 80.6%, $67.43 saved. 0 network calls. 1,363 tests. 15 MCP tools. MIT.</p> <h2> Why this matters more than the token count </h2> <p>Anthropic published that cleaner context produces a 29% quality lift and 40% fewer agent errors. The tokens are the proof, reliability is the point.</p> <h2> The dogfood story behind today's launch </h2> <p>Last week I caught my own drift tool reporting 624,940 tokens wasted in a 4-hour session. My proxy --stats credited only 7,553 saved on the same session. 83x undercount, by my own tool. Root cause was mid-session installs leaving the dedup cache empty for the first half of the session.</p> <p>Shipped v1.6.15 with Verified Warm-Fill 24 hours later. Drift now reads "no drift detected." Shipped v1.6.16 today with the cache-defer and grep-cap fixes. Three releases in nine days, each closing a real bug I caught dogfooding.</p> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>Install:</p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>npm i -g sipcode &amp;&amp; sipcode init </code></pre> </div> <p>PH: <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/products/sipcode" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.producthunt.com/products/sipcode</a><br> Site: <a href="https://anuj7411.github.io/sipcode" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://anuj7411.github.io/sipcode</a><br> Repo: <a href="https://github.com/Anuj7411/sipcode" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Anuj7411/sipcode</a></p> <p>Happy to answer questions in the comments.</p> ai claude opensource productivity
