dedup¶

Offload — lossy, reversible

Replaces a tool output byte-identical to an earlier one in the same request with a short pointer + marker.

How it works¶

dedup replaces a tool output byte-identical to an earlier one in the same request with a short pointer + <<cg:HASH>> marker. Exact match only (near-duplicate is deferred).

Before → After¶

before:  <big config dump>  … (later, identical) <same big config dump>
after:   <big config dump>  … [identical to an earlier tool output] <<cg:1c8e…>>

Lossiness¶

Lossy but reversible — the duplicated output is stashed and recovered via context_guru_expand / GET /expand.

Configuration¶

Key	Default	Meaning
`min_tokens`	100	Skip outputs smaller than this token count.

When it shines¶

Agents that re-read the same file/command output repeatedly.

When it's inert¶

No exact repeats, small outputs.
