🚀 TokenTamer A drop-in proxy that compresses bloated code context in real-time, cutting LLM API costs by 50–80% on plain-chat coding agents. TokenTamer is a middleware proxy that sits between an AI coding agent and the LLM API. It intercepts raw payloads, parses code with AST, and replaces "background" files with structural skeletons. The agent still sees signatures, classes, and imports — it just stops paying for function bodies it isn't editing. ⚠️ Alpha software. This is a real project in active development, not a polished SaaS. Please read the support matrix below before installing. 🧪 Support Status Stale file reads in get skeletonized; latest read stays intact.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
