why it matters · claude-mem

claude-mem watches every Claude Code session — what you asked, what worked, what broke — compresses it all, and drops the relevant bits into your next session automatically. You stop re-explaining your project on day 2. If your agent keeps forgetting context you already gave it, or you switch between projects a lot, this is the fix. Works on any repo, plugin install, free.

why it matters · RTK (Rust Token Killer)

Every time Claude Code runs a command in your terminal — a git status, an npm install, a test suite — the whole output gets fed back to the AI. That's usually the most token-hungry part of any session, and most of it is junk Claude doesn't need. RTK sits between your terminal and Claude, strips the junk, passes the meaningful bits through. On common dev commands you save 60-90% per run. One binary, no config, free.
