SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compress and manage NextRoute payloads by combining RTK, Caveman, and stacked compression to dramatically reduce tokens and improve throughput.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-mode compression (RTK, Caveman, stacked) to minimize payload size without losing context.
  • Manage language packs, custom rules, and test prompt compression to optimize workflows.
  • See realtime token savings and apply compression across provider calls in a single switch.

Quick Start

Enable standard compression mode and test a sample payload to observe token savings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce API token usage for large payloads?

To reduce API token usage, apply multi-mode compression to payloads using RTK, Caveman, and stacked pipelines. This minimizes payload size without losing context, dramatically cutting token costs and improving throughput across provider integrations.

What is the difference between RTK and Caveman compression modes?

RTK and Caveman are distinct compression modes that minimize payload size differently. They can be applied individually based on content type, such as command-output processing or human-readable prose, or combined in stacked pipelines for mixed coding sessions.

Do I need specific environment variables to enable payload compression?

Yes, enabling payload compression requires the NEXTROUTE_URL and NEXTROUTE_KEY environment variables. These credentials allow the compression engine to apply settings across provider calls and manage language packs via REST endpoints.

Can I test token savings before applying compression to live workflows?

Yes, you can test token savings before applying compression to live workflows by using the test prompt compression feature. This allows you to preview configurations and observe realtime token savings on a sample payload safely.

How do I manage custom rules for API payload compression?

You manage custom rules for API payload compression by configuring language packs and testing prompts through supported REST endpoints. This optimizes workflows by tailoring the RTK and Caveman compression behavior to specific provider integrations.

When should I use stacked compression instead of standard modes?

Use stacked compression instead of standard modes for mixed coding sessions where payloads contain both command-output processing and human-readable prose. Stacking combines RTK and Caveman pipelines to maximize token savings across complex, multi-format integrations.
