Triss, the cheaper coworker for expensive agents

Why it surfaced

Its pitch is unusually concrete: the site reports 209 real calls, 5.84 million input tokens, and $2.22 in measured worker costs over one week. The tool targets a specific frustration in agentic coding—letting a costly model reason while a cheaper one reads files, fetches URLs, and reviews diffs.

Triss is a Node CLI and MCP coworker that delegates token-heavy coding tasks to cheaper models, then returns compact summaries to a primary agent.
