headroom ★ 74439 5761 APPLICATION

Headroom is a context optimization layer for LLM applications that reduces token usage by 50-90% through intelligent compression, caching, and memory systems. It provides a transparent proxy between LLM clients (like Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.), implementing CCR (Compress-Cache-Retrieve) for lossless compression with retrieval capability. The system features a hybrid polyglot architecture with a Rust-based high-performance proxy core, Python ecosystem for extensibility, and TypeScript SDK. Key capabilities include agent wrapping, cross-agent memory using Qdrant/Neo4j, observability through metrics and dashboard, and a learning system that analyzes interaction patterns to generate optimization rules. Deployment options include Docker, system services, and direct execution.
