AGENTSKIN 5.1.0 / NPM LATEST
FIDELITY-FIRST CONTEXT MIDDLEWARE
NICHOLS AI ↗

AgentSkin

Clean the context before it hits the model. AgentSkin keeps task-relevant facts and strips low-value API, JSON, and terminal noise.

npm i agentskin@5.1.0
01 / Why

Your model should not pay attention to everything your tools return.

APIs, CLIs, and browser tools are designed to be complete, not context-efficient. AgentSkin sits in the middle and keeps the facts the task actually needs.

Preserve the signal. Cut the payload.

npx -y agentskin@latest
02 / One front door

Start with compress.

Give it existing context. AgentSkin detects JSON, command output, or plain text and chooses the appropriate safe reduction path. Use the specialized tools only when you want direct control.

compress fetch_optimized_data reduce
03 / Rule

Fidelity is the gate. Compression is the score.

Explicit signals and URL-specific rules are authoritative. AgentSkin does not keep unrelated nested fields merely because they happen to be named id, name, or url.

If the smaller result loses required information, it is not a successful reduction.
