Field notes
parsec operates as a proxy for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and opencode, scoring context chunks before requests reach a model provider. Its accounting model is unusually explicit: the page reports a 54% input-token reduction and compares actual usage with a measured counterfactual where provider data allows it. The local ledger also records fail-open events, so a scoring outage passes the request through rather than blocking an agent session.
