Your agent is a brilliant engineer.
A very expensive proofreader.
Triss is a Node CLI that intercepts the token-heavy half of the job — bulk file reads, URL fetches, diff reviews, tracker chatter, whole implementation tasks — and hands it to a cheap DeepSeek worker. Your primary agent gets a 1–2K-token summary instead of 28K in + 4.7K out per request (5.84M total week).

Baselines from published list prices and one measured week of real Triss usage (209 calls, 5.84M in, $2.22). Your mileage depends on what you delegate.
Not a Claude-only trick.

01 — how it works
Fewer portals. Substantially more git diff.
One hop sits between your expensive agent and the raw context. Triss reads, fetches, and summarises — then returns only what matters.
