My AI agent kept blind-reading my files. So I built a local CLI to give it "eyes" (Looking for beta testers! 🐛)

Hey DEV community 👋, As a solo de, I’ve been relying heavily on AI coding agents lately (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). They're amazing, but my token bills have been getting ridiculous, and the agent's context window inevitably turns into a clogged mess after a few turns. Digging into it, I realized the biggest culprit is file reads. When an agent wants to explore a codebase, it usually reads full files blindly. It doesn't actually "know" the structure or the blast radius of what it's touching until it reads 500 lines of irrelevant code.
