Overview

Headroom is the Context Optimization Layer for LLM applications. It reduces your LLM costs by 50-90% through intelligent context compression.

How It Works

  1. Universal Compression — ML-based content detection with structure-preserving compression
  2. SmartCrusher — Compresses JSON tool outputs, keeping errors, anomalies, and relevant items
  3. CacheAligner — Stabilizes message prefixes so provider caching works
  4. RollingWindow — Manages context limits without breaking tool call pairs
  5. CCR — Caches original data so compression is reversible

Safety Guarantees

  • Never removes human content
  • Never breaks tool call ordering
  • Parse failures pass through unchanged
  • LLM can always retrieve original data
