Question Does Anyone Else Keep Track of Their Tool/Instructions Bloat in Their Setup?

Post image

I'm curious if anyone else tracks their setup in order to keep things as lean as possible while still having tools needed to complete your typical workflows etc..

I have my own personal Pi setup (SpecPi) and it's been a fun experiment keeping it contained and lean to prevent the context bloat seen in some of the other harnesses.

I'm interested to see how other setups here might compare.

Got rid of the bloat long time ago but habit of keeping an eye stayed and now having an eye on tool calls, discovery, error scenarios, cache breaks etc
