Chisel

Reduce context usage on file use. Send only unified diffs instead of full files (up to 20-100× fewer tokens), and read large files with targeted grep/sed instead of full reads (up to 500×).

Standalone for your file access or embed in any MCP server (Rust, Node.js, Python via WASM).

Coherence guard for shared files: when two agents write the same file, the stale writer is denied instead of silently overwriting, then reacquires and retries. Single-host, TLA+-verified. Install: uvx --from "agent-coherence[mcp]" stale-write-guard-fs.
