Six months after shipping your AI agent, you don't really know how it works anymore.
The tool list grew and someone added instructions and nobody remembers why.
The agent is slower and more expensive.
This is what we call context rot.
There's a free test that shows you exactly what's rotted.
1. npx skills add ratel-ai/skills --all
2. /ratel-assessment
rate your agent 1 to 10.
i expected an 8.
it scored a 5.8.
turns out giving it 100 tools wasn't smart.
i wouldn't want to read 100 pages every time someone asked me something either.
curious what you'd score.

We came to SF to interview the best minds at the AI Engineer World Fair.
Dario Amodei and daddy Jensen were busy.
We interviewed him instead...
Not that insightful tbh :(
Who should we talk to next?
Claude Opus 4.7 used 81% fewer tokens with Ratel.
Accuracy stayed within 1.7 points.
A local model went from 8% β 77% accuracy.
Fable we are coming for you!
#AIAgents#ContextEngineering#LLMBenchmarks
8% β 77% accuracy.
Same model and laptop.
With the full tool catalog visible, the model got overwhelmed.
With Ratel, it only saw relevant tools per task.
Better accuracy and 57% fewer tokens.
Less noise = Better agents.
50 tools in your agent = 6000 tokens per run before it does anything.
We tracked it with a production client: Ratel's filter cut token usage 40%.
That's ~$1800/month, ~$22k/year back. Per agent.
Book Seychelles :)
