Context Compiler Shrinks Coding Agent Prompts by Up to 74% and Cuts Latency to 75 ms
Most coding agents simply retrieve more files until the model’s context window overloads, causing self‑compression and lost information. Emmimal’s open‑source Context Compiler treats prompt construction like a compiler, tracing only the code actually needed and trimming everything else, slashing prompt size by 69‑74% and running in under 75 ms. The approach shows that smarter context curation beats bigger windows.
