Developer Tooling · Open Source
The AI Systems Engineering Harness for Claude Desktop & Cursor. Real token accounting, tool audits, and Layer 1–7 blueprints.
4 Production Tools In Your Chat
Audit tool schemas, count real BPE tokens, harden system prompts, and retrieve LangGraph blueprints directly in Claude Desktop.
⚡ Setup in 30 SecondsStop blaming the model when agents break in staging. Give Claude deterministic tools.
Connects directly into Claude Desktop or Cursor over standard I/O (stdio) or HTTP/SSE on Render.
Telemetry · Active Optimization
Live session telemetry, deterministic transcript surgery, and repository token budgeting to defeat runaway context bloat.
Stop burning tokens on zombie terminal logs, test failures, and unchecked context saturation.
Watch the 1:24 video intro for the complete breakdown of transcript surgery, or launch the interactive browser simulator.
