ContextOS CLI cuts AI agent context waste by 87% with offline ranking

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

ContextOS is a local CLI tool that selects only relevant files for AI coding agents, reducing token usage by up to 87%. It ranks files using five signals including import graph centrality and AST symbol overlap, with no cloud or LLM calls. The open-source tool supports Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Aider, and includes an MCP server for direct tool integration.

Meridian48 take
A practical fix for a real pain point, but its utility depends on how well the ranking signals generalize beyond the author's own codebase.
