Show HN: Ototo: Offload code exploration to a smaller model from Claude et al.

Category: ai-ml

Tags: ai-agent, context-management, code-exploration, llm-tooling

Score: 5.7/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)

Ototo acts as a lightweight exploratory agent that offloads code search and file reading from a primary LLM like Claude Code, returning only a concise answer and cited lines to preserve context. It addresses context window waste in AI-assisted coding by delegating exploration to a smaller model, which is a sensible optimization though not a radical new paradigm.

Target audience: AI-assisted software developers using Claude Code or similar LLM coding agents
