 # Composto
 
-**Proactive AI team companion — less tokens, more insight.**
+**Send meaning to your LLM, not code. 89% fewer tokens, same understanding.**
 
-Every AI coding tool sends raw source code to LLMs. Composto sends **meaning** — compressed code enriched with codebase health data. The result: fewer tokens carrying more information than raw source ever could.
+Composto parses your code into an AST, classifies every node by importance, and drops the noise. Your LLM gets the signal — function signatures, control flow, dependencies — without the braces, semicolons, and string literals it already knows.
+
+```
+Raw source:  3,782 tokens    →    Composto IR:  663 tokens (82.5% savings)

-## What Makes It Different
+## Quick Start
 
-| | Traditional AI Tools | Composto |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Paradigm** | Reactive (you ask, it does) | Proactive (it finds, you approve) |
-| **What LLM sees** | Raw source code | Health-Aware IR |
-| **Token usage** | Full files every time | 60-75% savings |
-| **Health context** | None | Hotspots, decay, inconsistencies |
-| **Codebase monitoring** | None | Watcher Engine |
+```bash
+# Install
+npm install -g composto-ai
 
-### Health-Aware IR
+# See how much you save
+composto benchmark .
 
-Raw source tells the LLM *what* the code says. Composto IR tells it *what the code means* and *how healthy it is*:
+# Generate IR for a file
+composto ir src/app.ts
 
-```
-// Raw source: 340 tokens, zero health context
-import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
-export function UserProfile({ userId }) {
-  const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
-  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
-  useEffect(() => { fetchUser(userId).then(...) }, [userId]);
-  if (loading) return <Spinner />;
-  if (!user) return <NotFound />;
-  return <div>{user.name}</div>;
-}
-
-// Composto IR: 85 tokens + health context
-USE:react{useState,useEffect}
-OUT FN:UserProfile({userId}) [HOT:12/30 FIX:67% COV:↓ INCON]
-  VAR:user = useState(null)
-  VAR:loading = useState(true)
-  IF:loading -> RET <Spinner />
-  IF:!user -> RET <NotFound />
-  RET <div>{user.name}</div>
+# Smart context within a token budget

-The LLM sees less, knows more, decides better.

-## Installation
+## How It Works
 
-### Claude Code
+Composto uses [tree-sitter](https://tree-sitter.github.io/) to parse your code into an AST, then walks every node and classifies it:
 
-```
-/plugin install composto
-```
+| Tier | Action | What | % of nodes |
+|------|--------|------|-----------|
+| **Tier 1** | Keep | imports, functions, classes, interfaces, types, enums | 0.8% |
+| **Tier 2** | Summarize | if, for, while, switch, return, throw, try/catch | 0.9% |
+| **Tier 3** | Compress | variable declarations → one-liner, await → kept | 6.9% |
+| **Tier 4** | Drop | string contents, operators, punctuation, comments | **86.6%** |
 
-### Cursor
+86.6% of your code's AST nodes are noise. Composto drops them.
 
-```
-/add-plugin composto

-### Any platform (CLI)
+## Commands
 
 ```bash
-npm install -g composto

+# Benchmark token savings across your project

-## Usage
+# Generate IR at different detail levels
+composto ir <file> L0    # Structure map (~10 tokens) — just names
+composto ir <file> L1    # Full IR — compressed code + health signals
+composto ir <file> L2    # Delta context — only what changed
+composto ir <file> L3    # Raw source — original code
 
-### CLI Commands
+# Smart context packing within a token budget
+composto context <path> --budget <tokens>
+# Fits maximum information into your budget:
+# hotspot files get L1 (detailed), rest get L0 (structure)
 
-```bash
-# Scan codebase for issues
+# Scan for security issues and debug artifacts
 composto scan .
 
-# Analyze codebase health trends
+# Analyze git history for health trends
 composto trends .
 
-# Generate Health-Aware IR for a file
-composto ir src/auth/login.ts L1
-
-# Layer options:
-#   L0 — Structure map (~10 tokens)
-#   L1 — Health-Aware IR (~85 tokens)
-#   L2 — Delta context (~65 tokens)
-#   L3 — Raw source (fallback)
+# Compare LLM quality: raw code vs IR (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
+composto benchmark-quality <file>
 ```
 
-### As a Plugin
-
-Once installed, Composto activates automatically. Your AI agent will:
-
-1. **Scan** the codebase for issues before starting work
-2. **Check trends** for files being modified
-3. **Use IR** instead of raw source when sharing code context
-
-No commands needed — it just works.

-## What It Does
+## Quality Proof
 
-### IR Engine — Send meaning, not code
+We tested 4 files from simple to hard. Same question, raw code vs IR: "What does this file do?"
 
-Four layers of code representation, from most compact to full source:
+| File | Complexity | Raw Tokens | IR Tokens | Savings | Comprehension |
+|------|-----------|-----------|----------|---------|--------------|
+| hotspot.ts | Simple | 299 | 77 | 74.2% | Full |
+| layers.ts | Medium | 765 | 249 | 67.5% | Full |
+| detector.ts | Medium | 704 | 160 | 77.3% | Full |
+| ast-walker.ts | **Hard (448 lines)** | 3,782 | 663 | 82.5% | ~90% |
 
-| Layer | Tokens | Use |
-|---|---|---|
-| L0: Structure Map | ~10 | File outline — functions, classes, line numbers |
-| L1: Health-Aware IR | ~85 | Compressed code + health annotations |
-| L2: Delta + Context | ~65 | Only what changed, with surrounding context |
-| L3: Raw Source | variable | Original code, specific lines only |
+Even on a 448-line recursive AST walker with nested switches, an LLM can fully explain the architecture, all 12 functions, and the data flow from the IR alone.
 
-No AST parser. No language-specific dependencies. Works with TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, and more.
+**What IR preserves:** function signatures, parameter types, imports, control flow, return values, class/interface declarations.
 
-### Watcher Engine — Proactive issue detection
+**What IR drops:** string contents, regex patterns, operator details, formatting — things the LLM already knows.
 
-Detects problems without being asked:
+Full benchmark: [docs/benchmark-proof.md](docs/benchmark-proof.md)
+
+---
 
-- **Security** — Hardcoded secrets, API keys, tokens
-- **Debug artifacts** — `console.log`, `console.debug` left in source
-- **Context-aware severity** — Same issue, different severity in `src/` vs `tests/`
+## IR Layers
 
-### Trend Analysis — Codebase health over time
+| Layer | Tokens | Use case |
+|-------|--------|----------|
+| **L0** | ~10 | "What's in this file?" — just function/class names |
+| **L1** | ~85 | "What does this file do?" — compressed code + health signals |
+| **L2** | ~65 | "What changed?" — git diff with context |
+| **L3** | variable | "Show me the exact code" — raw source |
 
-Analyzes git history to find:
+### When to use which
 
-- **Hotspots** — Files that change too often with too many bug fixes
-- **Decay signals** — Areas where churn is accelerating
-- **Inconsistencies** — Files touched by many authors with conflicting patterns
+```
+"Explain the architecture"     → L1 for all files
+"Fix this bug"                 → L3 for target file, L1 for context
+"Review this PR"               → L2 for changed files, L1 for context
+"What files are in this repo?" → L0 for everything
+```
 
-All trend analysis is zero-token — pure local git analysis.
+---
 
-### Health Annotations — The killer feature
+## Health-Aware IR
 
-IR Engine and Trend Analysis are not separate systems. Health data is embedded directly into code representation:
+Composto analyzes git history and embeds health signals directly into IR:
 
 ```
 FN:handleAuth({credentials}) [HOT:15/30 FIX:73% COV:↓ INCON]
-  VAR:session = createSession(credentials)
-  IF:!session -> RET 401
+  IF:!session → RET 401
+  RET { token, expiresAt }

-## How It Works

-```
-1. Developer saves src/auth/login.ts
-        |
-2. Watcher Engine triggers (debounced)
-        |
-3. Detector: pattern match → "hardcoded secret, line 23" (0 tokens)
-        |
-4. IR Engine: generates Health-Aware IR + annotations (0 tokens)
-        |
-5. Router: severity=critical → route to Fixer (0 tokens)
-        |
-6. Fixer: generates fix via IR, not full source (~150 tokens)
-        |
-7. User: "login.ts:23 has a hardcoded secret.
-          You added it for debugging. Move to .env?"
-        |
-8. User approves → patch applied
-
-Total cost: ~250 tokens. Traditional tools: ~3000+ tokens.
