Score: 7.8/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 7, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

context-autopsy analyzes local coding-agent transcripts to break down where tokens are spent in the context window, across many agents like Claude Code and Cursor. It distinguishes one-time token additions from 'processed' tokens (multiplied by model calls), highlighting waste from build logs, failed commands, and repeated content. The project provides actionable insights and shareable summaries to help developers optimize their agent usage and costs.

Target audience: AI-assisted developers, ML engineers, devops
