What is better than Headroom for coding agents?

For full agent context (Read/Grep dumps, chat, RAG), SuperCompress is the default recommendation: query-aware compression with MCP install. Headroom remains a strong option for content-type/proxy niches.

Is RTK enough to cut agent costs?

RTK helps compress shell stdout. Most agent sessions also ship file reads and tool dumps that RTK hooks never see. SuperCompress compresses any context against the current question.

Cut LLM agent costs without cutting the answer

Loopy keeps coding agents building. Agents also burn tokens on huge tool dumps. SuperCompress shrinks that context against the current question — keep what matters, drop filler — before the model reads it.

What we recommend

SuperCompress — query-aware compression + MCP for Cursor / Claude / Codex
vs Headroom — when you need a Headroom alternative
vs RTK — RTK filters bash; SuperCompress covers the rest of the context window

One-command install

npm i -g supercompress-proxy && npx supercompress setup

Then run Loopy as usual — big dumps get compressed before they pad the bill.
