What Context Diet does

Reduce token usage by indexing a codebase so agents query the index instead of re-reading files. Use when context windows fill up fast or the bill scales with conversation length.

Context Diet is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Context Diet comes from a repository tagged agents, ai-agents, claude-code, claude-skills and codex.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Feed the agent less, not a smarter model

When an agent re-reads the same files into context on every question, the bill scales with repetition, not with difficulty. The structural fix is a queryable index: the agent asks for the two facts it needs instead of swallowing whole files. One published reference point (arXiv:2603.27277, evaluated across 31 real repos, using a knowledge-graph MCP server): ~10x fewer tokens and 2.1x fewer tool calls at 83% answer quality versus file-by-file exploration. Treat those numbers as a ceiling from someone else's benchmark, not a promise; the whole skill is: measure your own drop.
