LLM Tool Research

This site is the browsable view of the three research tracks in this repository:

1. Binary tools for coding agents, local runtimes, proxies, and token-efficiency plumbing.
2. Paid/free managed cloud services with token/cost and lock-in tradeoffs.
3. Skills, MCP, and ecosystem workflows for complex coding-agent execution.
