Headroom compresses everything your AI agent reads — tool outputs, logs, RAG chunks, files, and conversation history — before it reaches the LLM. Same answers, fraction of the tokens.

What it does

• Library — compress(messages) in Python or TypeScript, inline in any app
• Proxy — headroom proxy --port 8787, zero code changes, any language
• Agent wrap — headroom wrap claude|codex|aider|copilot|opencode in one command; Cursor prints manual proxy settings to paste into the app
• MCP server — headroom_compress, headroom_retrieve, headroom_stats for any MCP client
• Cross-agent memory — shared store across Claude, Codex, Gemini, auto-dedup
• headroom learn — mines failed sessions, writes corrections to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md
• Output token reduction — trims what the model writes back (not just what you send): drops ceremony/restated code and skips deep "thinking" on routine steps. See Output token reduction.
• Reversible (CCR) — originals are cached for retrieval on demand

How it works (30 seconds)

 Your agent / app
   (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, LangChain, Agno, Strands, your own code…)

 LLM provider  (Anthropic · OpenAI · Bedrock · …)

• ContentRouter — detects content type, selects the right compressor
• SmartCrusher / CodeCompressor / Kompress-base — compress JSON, AST, or prose
• CacheAligner — stabilizes prefixes so provider KV caches actually hit
• CCR — stores originals locally; LLM calls headroom_retrieve if it needs them
