ContextLens

2026 Python

ContextLens measures whether changes to AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, skills, MCP tools, and other repository context actually improve coding-agent performance, or just consume more tokens.

Motivation

Teams now commit agent configuration next to code, but rarely test it. A smaller prompt is not automatically a cheaper run. An agent can compensate by searching more, taking more turns, or missing the cache. ContextLens keeps repository footprint and effective task context as separate measurements.
