+
+*Minimum-token renderings of network CLI output for LLM agents — the
+`| brief` the vendor never shipped.*
+
+LLM-driven network agents burn most of their context window on the noise in
+`show`-command output: separator dashes, static legends, wrapped headers,
+all-zero counter tables, and keys repeated on every row. **neterse** rewrites
+that output into the smallest representation that preserves the semantics,
+before it enters model context — so agents spend tokens on reasoning, not
+formatting. Savings of 40–60% are typical on tabular output; on huge
+mostly-zero tables, compression is the difference between a truncated tool
+result and a complete one.
+
+```python
+from neterse import render, optimize
+
+# Full API — every candidate that shrinks the output; policy is yours:
+candidates = render(raw, command="show interface status", platform="cisco_nxos")
+best = min(candidates, key=lambda c: len(c.text), default=None)
+
+# Convenience wrapper — smallest candidate's text, or raw unchanged:
+compact = optimize("show interface status", raw)
+
+# Parsed tier — rows Genie/ntc-templates already produced, re-encoded
+# header-once (beats json.dumps(rows) by ~45-50% on multi-row output):
+candidates = render(raw, command="show ip int brief", parsed=rows)
+
+# Opt-in declared-lossy projection; the rendering itself says what was
+# withheld: "[omitted: name, vlan, ... — re-query profile=full]"
+candidates = render(raw, command="show interface status", profile="updown")
+```

+
+## Design in one paragraph
+
+Two tiers, one contract. The **raw-text tier** compresses CLI output
+directly — declarative specs drive generic strategies (fixed-width
+table → CSV, line-regex table → CSV, key-value scan), with plain-Python
+compressors as the escape hatch for genuinely stateful formats. The
+**parsed tier** re-encodes rows that Genie / ntc-templates / TTP / NAPALM
+already parsed into compact header-once form (`render(..., parsed=rows)`
+→ CSV and TOON-style candidates that undercut `json.dumps(rows)` by
+~45–50%). Opt-in **profiles** (`profile="updown"`) narrow output to a
+declared projection and say so inline
+(`[omitted: … — re-query profile=full]`). Both tiers emit `Candidate`s;
+the library **never picks a winner** — smallest-wins, ledgers, metrics,
+and caching belong to the consumer. Full architecture:
+[docs/DESIGN.md](docs/DESIGN.md).
+
+## Invariants
+
+1. **Fail-open, always.** A compressor that raises, returns a non-string,
+   returns empty, or fails to shrink produces no candidate. Raw data is
+   never lost and never enlarged.
+2. **Zero runtime dependencies.** Standard library only — enforced in CI.
+   Tokenizers are a CI concern; `Candidate.est_tokens()` is a chars/4
+   estimate by design.
+3. **Candidates, not policy.** Consumers decide what to send to the model.
+4. **Preserve semantically relevant data; declare every drop.** Noise
+   (separators, legends, all-zero rows — kept visible via explicit
+   `(all zero)` markers) is dropped freely; anything else a rendering omits
+   must be declared machine-readably on the candidate
+   (`Candidate.dropped_fields`).
+5. **Byte-parity discipline.** The original implementation is
+   frozen in-tree (`tests/legacy_snapshot.py`); the parity suite replays a
+   cross-matrix corpus and pins today's outputs byte-for-byte. Engine
+   refactors may change *how*, never *what*. Intentional output changes are
+   recorded baseline decisions.
+
+## Provenance & prior art
+
+neterse grew out of a TOON optimizer ("Token-Optimized Output for
+Networks", inspired by [NetClaw]'s TOON serialization work) built for a
+network agent, and is now a standalone, community-extensible library. It
+complements — not competes with — the parsing ecosystems: [ntc-templates],
+[Genie/pyATS] and [TTP] turn CLI text into structure; neterse makes
+structure (and unparseable raw text) *cheap to show to a model*. The
+tabular encoding aligns with
+[TOON — Token-Oriented Object Notation]; emitting spec-compliant TOON for
+uniform tables is on the roadmap.

+## Roadmap
+
+| Phase | Contents | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 | API frozen (`render`/`Candidate`/`optimize`/`register`); 15 compressor families extracted verbatim; byte-parity baseline | ✅ |
+| 1 | Spec engine (generic strategies over declarative specs), platform-keyed dispatch, declared-lossiness manifests | ✅ |
+| 2 | Parsed tier: field projection + compact encoders (CSV/TOON) over pre-parsed rows; opt-in profiles with inline omission markers; `kv_extract` strategy | ✅ |
+| 3 | `neterse audit` coverage tool, fixture-per-file contribution flow, CI token-savings regression (pinned tokenizer), multi-vendor expansion (Arista EOS, Junos, Aruba AOS-CX, MikroTik), PyPI release machinery | ✅ |
+| 4 | Consumers swap vendored copies for the pip dependency; propose a TOON profile for network data upstream | ▢ |
+
+## Coverage
+
+Command families ship for **Cisco IOS/IOS-XE/NX-OS** (15 legacy families:
+routes, interfaces, BGP/OSPF/EIGRP neighbors, CDP/LLDP, VLANs, ACLs,
+counters, port-channels, version, running-config), **Arista EOS**
+(interfaces status, ip arp, vlan), **Juniper Junos** (interfaces terse,
+ospf neighbor), **Aruba AOS-CX** (interface brief, vlan) and **MikroTik
+RouterOS** (`/ip address print`, `/interface print`) — and the parsed
+tier covers anything your parser already handles, on any platform.
+
+Measure coverage over your own agent's traffic with the bundled CLI:
+
+```bash
+neterse audit run.jsonl --show 3      # {"command":..., "platform":..., "raw":...} per line
+neterse audit tests/fixtures          # or point it at a fixture tree
+```
+
+It reports per-family reduction, what reached the model uncompressed
+(`NO COMPRESSOR` / `false-match` / `platform-skip`), and each winning
+entry's declared drops — the gaps it prints are, in order, the next
+specs worth contributing.
+
+## Contributing
+
+See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). Short version: most new command
+families are **a spec dict plus two fixture files**
+(`tests/fixtures/<platform>/<family>/{commands.txt,raw.txt}`) — no parser
+code, and the suite auto-covers anything dropped there. The escape hatch
+for stateful formats is a plain function under the same fail-open
+contract.

+counters, port-channels, version, running-config), **Arista EOS**
+(interfaces status, ip arp, vlan), **Juniper Junos** (interfaces terse,
+ospf neighbor), **Aruba AOS-CX** (interface brief, vlan) and **MikroTik
+RouterOS** (`/ip address print`, `/interface print`) — and the parsed
+tier covers anything your parser already handles, on any platform.

+Measure coverage over your own agent's traffic with the bundled CLI:
+
+```bash
+neterse audit run.jsonl --show 3      # {"command":..., "platform":..., "raw":...} per line
+neterse audit tests/fixtures          # or point it at a fixture tree
+```
+
+It reports per-family reduction, what reached the model uncompressed
+(`NO COMPRESSOR` / `false-match` / `platform-skip`), and each winning
+entry's declared drops — the gaps it prints are, in order, the next
+specs worth contributing.
+
+## Contributing
+
+See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). Short version: most new command
+families are **a spec dict plus two fixture files**
+(`tests/fixtures/<platform>/<family>/{commands.txt,raw.txt}`) — no parser
+code, and the suite auto-covers anything dropped there. The escape hatch
+for stateful formats is a plain function under the same fail-open
+contract.
