Comment on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokensparent

Comments

So often we will burn 20% of limit in a single ill conceived agent tool call that we're simply not going to be able to or want to be able to intercept. Where I see a tool like this being a real step forward is to add a decision point. it does not have to bubble up to hard-require user to provide permission, but it can let the LLM have an intermediate checkpoint to say that it's about to get blasted with 30k tokens and here is roughly the shape of it and do you wanna adjust or whittle it down if you know what you're looking for etc.?

There is definitely tons of value to extract from this line of thinking.
