Reverse proxy lets Claude compress its own context before hitting the API.

Strengths
  • •Reverse proxy approach requires zero client patches or prompt wrappers.
  • •Meta-compression: Claude profiles and surgically rewrites its own tool results.
  • •Targets the actual culprit: 82% of bloat is stale tool outputs, not conversation.
Weaknesses
  • •Only works with Claude Code, not other AI coding assistants.
  • •Adding a subagent for semantic compression increases latency and cost.
