the fix for context bloat is to silence the tools. mksglu's context-mode, trending september 19, sandboxes agent tool output for a 98% reduction in context use and persists session memory across runs, now sitting at 23,500 stars.
the agent sees less and remembers more.
Context
The maker's repository, mksglu/context-mode, describes itself as sandboxing tool output for a 98 percent reduction, persisting session memory, and enforcing routing across 17 platforms via MCP and hooks. Its worked example is 315 KB reduced to 5.4 KB, session events are tracked in SQLite and indexed with FTS5, and the repo showed 20,331 stars when fetched on 4 October 2026.
The 98 percent is a maker-reported worked example of tool output, not a measured average of total context or token use, and no independent benchmark was found. 23,500 stars was not found: the count read on 4 October is 20,331, which is a different date, and a star count does not measure quality. Trending on 19 September was not found on a trending page. Persisting memory across runs is the repo's session continuity in SQLite, which the maker describes and which was not independently tested. The agent sees less and remembers more is the author's take.
