Worth noticing: The author’s sample attributes roughly 6.2k tokens per session to unused MCP servers and hidden skill listings.

Field notes

Installation is through npm, with separate commands for activation, installing the guard and alerts, and enabling notifications. The page’s examples break startup context into instruction files, tool names, skill listings, hooks, agents, and MCP instructions; it also says figures come from the user’s own transcripts. A Pro license is stated to work on up to three computers, with deactivation freeing a slot.
