How to optimize your AI token usage

A new open-source tool called Repo-Brain compresses entire codebases into a single markdown context file, achieving 96% compression on a 262-file repository by reducing 154,229 tokens to 6,487. The tool uses static analysis, architecture analysis, and semantic relationship mapping to feed code context to any large language model in a single prompt, eliminating the need to re-read repositories during each conversation.

Compress an entire codebase into a single markdown context file.

Feed it to any LLM once instead of re-reading your repo every conversation.

Achieved 96% compression on a 262-file repo (154,229 β†’ 6,487 tokens).

What's included

Static analysisβ€” Tree-sitter AST parsing for Python, JS, TS, Go, Rust;

regex fallback for Java, Ruby, C#, C/C++, Swift, Kotlin, Shell, and moreArchitecture analysisβ€” single LLM call identifies layers, components,

entry points, and data flowSemantic relationshipsβ€” LLM-discovered producer/consumer links,

shared data structures, parallel implementations, and polyglot bridgesMulti-provider supportβ€” OpenAI, Claude, Deepseek, Gemini, Groq, Ollama,

Mistral, xAI, Perplexity, OpenRouterOne-liner installersβ€” no manual venv or config setup required
