Revolutionizing AI Tooling: The Birth of checkfor
In the fast-evolving realm of AI, building tools that enhance collaboration is pivotal. My latest venture introduces checkfor, a game-changing tool crafted in Go to optimize the refactoring process using AI. Here’s why this matters:
-
Tailored for AI: Unlike traditional CLI tools like Grep, which prioritize human readability, checkfor is designed specifically for token efficiency. It minimizes unnecessary output, ensuring that AI can function smoothly without hitting context limits.
-
Refactoring Made Easy: While working on a TUI app, I faced challenges with cumbersome model structures. Checkfor streamlines this by delivering JSON output, greatly reducing token usage during repetitive verification processes.
-
Efficiency Stats: The transition from conventional tools to checkfor slashed costs dramatically:
- Checkfor required ~8,000 tokens for a full refactor.
- Grep, on the other hand, utilized over 35,100 tokens, highlighting a substantial savings opportunity.
This innovation not only simplifies code management but also opens doors to a new category of AI-native tools, setting the stage for future advancements in AI collaboration.
