• Show HN: I Cut my Agent Tokens By 50% · score 7.3

  indexio is a Rust-based code search engine designed specifically for AI coding agents, indexing entire organizations' repositories once and serving fast lexical, semantic, and hybrid queries via MCP and HTTP. It combines trigram indexing, vector search, and code graph analysis to reduce token usage for agents like Claude Code and Cursor.

• Show HN: Overtone – Transcribe, correct and cut captions for any screen shape · score 7.0

  Overtone is a captioning tool and format that stores each spoken word once with timing, then generates screen-shape-specific cuts (e.g., 16:9 vs 9:16) following typographic rules to avoid weak line endings. It includes a CLI for transcribing and recutting, a video.js plugin, and a documented JSON format with exporters to WebVTT/SRT.

• Show HN: Cut the tokens your coding agent spends reading tool output · score 7.0

  squeeze is a Go CLI that parses output from tools like Terraform, pytest, and kubectl, and emits a minimal, model-friendly version that preserves only actionable information (changes, failures, decisions). It targets coding agents to reduce token consumption by filtering noise while keeping secrets safe, and it offers format-specific flags and JSON output. The project is experimental but shows significant token savings in benchmarks.

• Show HN: Fabivo – Furniture design from a photo to a numbered cut list · score 6.0

  Fabivo is an offline-first web app that turns furniture sketches or photos into dimensioned 2D/3D models, generates a guillotine cut list optimized for real saw use (kerf, grain, edge trim), and derives an assembly sequence. It bundles a framework-free packing engine with Web Worker offload and exports to CSV, SVG, PNG, and PDF.
