Usage
High-Compression (99% reduction)
from performance_focused_compressor import compress_messages
messages = [
{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Your very long context here...'},
{'role': 'assistant', 'content': 'Long response...'}
]
compressed = compress_messages(messages)
# Returns ~1% of original size with start/end preserved
Code Debugging (83% reduction)
from code_focused_compressor import compress_messages
# Preserves stack traces, errors, code blocks
compressed = compress_messages(debug_messages)
Extreme Compression (95% reduction)
from aggressive_hybrid_compressor import compress_messages
# Extracts only critical information
compressed = compress_messages(agent_logs)
