Context Engine runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 43 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 11 Jul 2026.
Compress logs, retrieval chunks, and code context into structured LLM-ready signal.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Context Engine every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
