AI-optimized tool output compression for read, grep, diff, bash, test, web, search, and more
AIR is a toolkit for optimizing tool outputs for AI consumption. The name is inspired by "accessibility retrofitting" - just as we retrofit infrastructure for accessibility, we need to retrofit developer tools for AI ergonomics. AI context windows are the scarcest resource. A 200K token window sounds large, but: A single output can consume 2000+ tokens A test report can eat 5000+ tokens 50-96% of…
Verification confirms publisher identity (repo ownership), not code safety. The security scan covers known CVEs and suspicious install scripts — it cannot prove the absence of malicious code.
