Re:We cut Claude's token usage 79% by redesigning our CLI for agents

Designing interfaces specifically for agents (M2M DX) is a fascinating shift from traditional human-centric CLI design. We're moving from a world where "pretty" output and progress bars mattered to a world where raw, structured density is the goal.
A 79% reduction is massive, but I wonder if we’ll see a new type of "Agent-Optimized" protocol emerge that completely bypasses the text-heavy nature of current CLIs. The overhead of an LLM trying to parse "human" terminal output is essentially a tax on every call.

Congrats on shipping! The "vibecoding" era is wild. It’s shifting the bottleneck from "how to code" to "what to build."
I had a similar experience building a tax-aware dividend calculator recently. Using AI to map complex federal/state tax logic for 50 US states saved me weeks of manual work. Did you find that the AI struggled with the game logic as it got more complex, or did you have to refactor manually to keep the performance up?
