Tool cuts Anthropic API costs by 67% by predicting waste before requests
A developer built token-saver, a tool that reduces Anthropic API costs by 67% by analyzing code and compressing prompts. It scans Python source for wasteful patterns like loops and uncached prompts, then compresses messages by relevance. At 1,000 requests/day on Sonnet 4.6, it saves $200-$400 monthly.
