Ctx is a tool that optimizes LLM token usage by pre-selecting only relevant tools, skills, agents, MCP servers, and harnesses based on the repository and task context. It operates 'upstream' to prevent context bloat.

Positioned to 'save tokens by loading only the relevant tools' and 'avoid loading irrelevant skills, agents, MCPs, and harnesses into context at all.' It is presented as complementary to other token reduction tools, aiming to 'save tokens without forcing the user to manually test and compare thousands of possible skills, agents, MCP servers, and harnesses.'

Ctx addresses a critical and escalating pain point in LLM application development: token cost and context window management. Its 'upstream' approach to pre-filtering relevant tools and context represents a significant architectural optimization, directly impacting operational efficiency and cost-...
