In plain English

This repository describes a tool called Claude Context Window Optimizer, presented as a background agent that scans a local code project, strips unnecessary formatting, and produces a compressed version of the codebase intended for pasting into Claude AI conversations. The stated goal is to reduce the number of tokens a codebase occupies so that users with Claude Pro subscriptions can fit more code into a single conversation without hitting context limits. According to the README, the tool claims to reduce token usage by 35 to 45 percent while keeping the logic and variable names intact. It also says it generates a dependency tree so the AI can understand the project structure, and that it can watch for file changes and update the compressed output automatically. The README is very short and does not include any source code, configuration files, or build instructions. The primary content is a download link pointing to an external website at a domain unrelated to GitHub, where a binary called ctx-compress is hosted. The repository itself contains no visible code. The installation instructions consist of downloading and running that binary, then running it against a project folder, then pasting the output into a Claude chat window. The README makes several marketing claims but provides no technical documentation, no source code to review, and no explanation of how the compression works. The project is listed as MIT licensed.
