About snip

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, Aider, and any tool that runs shell commands. AI coding agents burn tokens on verbose shell output that adds zero signal. A passing produces hundreds of lines the LLM will never use. dumps full commit metadata when a one-liner per commit suffices.
