AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemNiche Gem

Makes token bloat visible like bundle size, but GitHub Actions badge metrics already exist.

Strengths

•Addresses a genuine friction point for AI agents: small codebases that fit in context are strategically valuable.
•Lightweight implementation (~60 lines Python, ~10 seconds), no commit overhead; workflow controls git strategy.
•Configurable context window size and clear visual gradient (green/yellow/red) makes token budgeting intuitive.

Weaknesses

•Solves a niche problem: only matters if you're already optimizing for LLM context; most teams don't prioritize this yet.
•No integration with actual agent performance—badge is motivational, not actionable feedback on whether agents succeed.

Post Description

Small codebases were always a good thing. With coding agents, there's now a huge advantage to having a codebase small enough that an agent can hold the full thing in context.

Repo Tokens is a GitHub Action that counts your codebase's size in tokens (using tiktoken) and updates a badge in your README. The badge color reflects what percentage of an LLM's context window the codebase fills: green for under 30%, yellow for 50-70%, red for 70%+. Context window size is configurable and defaults to 200k (size of Claude models).

It's a composite action. Installs tiktoken, runs ~60 lines of inline Python, takes about 10 seconds. The action updates the README but doesn't commit, so your workflow controls the git strategy.

The idea is to make token size a visible metric, like bundle size badges for JS libraries. Hopefully a small nudge to keep codebases lean and agent-friendly.
