About snip
CLI proxy that reduces LLM token usage by 60-90%. Declarative YAML filters for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini. rtk alternative in Go.
snip - Reduce LLM Token Usage by 60-90% **CLI proxy that filters shell output before it reaches your AI coding assistant's context window.** Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, Codex, Kilo Code, Antigravity, Aider, and any tool that runs shell commands. AI coding agents burn tokens on verbose shell output that adds zero signal. A passing go test produces hundreds of lines the LLM will never use. git log dumps full commit metadata when a one-liner per commit suffices. snip sits between your AI tool and the shell, filtering output through **declarative YAML pipelines**. Write a YAML file, drop it in a folder, done. The extensible LLM token optimizer: filters are YAML data files, not compiled code. Measured on a real Claude Code session — 128 commands, 2.3M
