+The hidden developer tax when coding with AI: Context Drift. 💸
+
+When pair programming with AI agents, we often switch between platforms to leverage their unique strengths:
+- Claude Code for terminal actions and system layouts
+- Cursor for local autocomplete and quick edits
+- Gemini / Antigravity for large-scale security and performance audits
+
+But there's a problem: every tool has its own custom settings, systems, and instructions files. You modify a build command in one place, forget to update it in another, and the agent breaks on compile. 
+
+To solve this, we are launching `multimodel-dev-os` — a portable, vendor-neutral operating configuration layer for AI coding tools.
+
+Think `.editorconfig` but designed for LLMs. 
+
+How it works:
+1. Initialize in seconds: `npx multimodel-dev-os@latest init`
+2. Configure your instructions in one root directory (AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, TASKS.md)
+3. Zero-duplication adapters dynamically present these instructions to Cursor (.cursorrules), Claude (CLAUDE.md), VS Code, and Gemini.
+4. Slash token bills by up to ~79% using Caveman Mode for small-context turns.
+
+Fully open-source, zero-dependency, and built to keep your context aligned across every coding tool.

+## 5. Reddit-Style Post (/r/webdev, /r/LocalLLaMA)
+* **Title:** Show Show HN / Show Reddit: I built multimodel-dev-os — a vendor-neutral context management layer for Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code.
+* **Content:**
+  Hey everyone,
+  
+  If you pair program with multiple AI tools, you've probably noticed how fast rules drift. You edit a command in your system prompts, but forget to update Cursor's `.cursorrules`, causing the model to continuously fail.
+  
+  I built **multimodel-dev-os** to solve this. It's a simple, zero-dependency CLI that scaffolds a unified context layout and uses lightweight adapters to route a single source of truth to all your tools.
+  
+  ### Key Features:
+  * **Primary Init:** Run `npx multimodel-dev-os@latest init` to bootstrap in 2 seconds.
+  * **Vendor-Neutral:** One config routes to Cursor (`.cursorrules`), Claude Code (`CLAUDE.md`), VS Code (`settings.json`), and Gemini/Antigravity (`settings.json`).
+  * **Caveman Mode:** Strips out examples and descriptions to save **~79% of tokens** when context budgets are tight.
+  * **Linter Guard:** Run `npx multimodel-dev-os@latest verify` to confirm structure health before pushing commits.
+  
+  Open-source and MIT licensed. I'd love to hear your feedback on the layout structure!
