Token Diet
Unified installer and dashboard for RTK, tilth, Serena, and ICM. Four tools that each cut a different kind of AI session waste, wired up in one command.
Token Diet installs and wires four tools that each cut a different kind of AI session waste. RTK compresses command output before the agent reads it. tilth reads only the code symbols that are actually needed, not entire files. Serena navigates the codebase without opening files to find one definition. ICM persists decisions and resolved errors across sessions so agents stop re-deriving what they already know.
The stack installs globally once; all four tools operate with per-project context. token-diet health checks the full setup. token-diet dashboard opens a live browser view of savings across sessions.
What it does
- RTK: compresses build output, test logs, and CLI noise before it hits the context window
- tilth: AST-aware code reading. Reads symbols not files. Replaces grep, cat, find with structured equivalents.
- Serena: LSP-backed navigation and memory. Finds definitions and references without reading whole files.
- ICM: cross-session, cross-tool memory. Decisions and resolved errors persist across Claude, Codex, Gemini.
