tokless

A unified pipeline for efficient and effective coding agents.

One tool, no config — works the moment it lands.

version platform license


Introduction

Many packages help coding agents work more effectively and efficiently. The best tools already exist; wiring them well is the real work. Tokless brings together specialized tools, each with a distinct purpose, and manages them with minimal setup.

Clear purpose — best tool for each job, wired without conflict
No overload — minimal MCP tools with clear, unified instructions
Zero config — works as soon as installed, in under 30 seconds
One place — install, update, and manage all tools across every configured agent

Installation

Manual

install

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HoangP8/tokless/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HoangP8/tokless/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Interactive install detects installed supported agents; choose one, some, or all:

tokless                              # interactive: pick agents
tokless --agents claude,opencode     # wire just these

Copy this for your agent

Tools

Popular packages with distinct roles, wired without conflicts.

PackagePurpose
karpathy-skillsCoding principles: think first, simplify, edit surgically, verify.
cavemanTerse response rules that preserve technical accuracy.
ponytailMinimal-code rules: reuse first, avoid speculative work.
rtkFilters command output before it reaches the agent.
codegraphIndexed code graph for source, call paths, and impact.
context-modeSandboxed context tools with session memory and focused analysis.

tokless update       Update the tokless CLI, then show version diff and upgrade tools
tokless doctor       Show what's wired; warn about broken bits
tokless info         Show how tokless was installed, plus paths and config locations
tokless index        Build per-project codegraph indexes
tokless disable      Disable one or more agents
