Entroly — VS Code Extension

Select and compress repository context for AI tools with auditable receipts inside VS Code and Cursor.

Key Features

1. ⚡ Status Bar Live Token Counter: Always know the exact token cost of the active file or highlighted code block in real time.
2. One-Click Knapsack Compression (Ctrl+Alt+E / Cmd+Alt+E): Select any code or file and run Entroly's 0-1 Knapsack selection engine to produce budget-optimal context for Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT.
3. Auditable Merkle Receipts: Inspect cryptographic proofs (SHA-256 fragment hashes and exact byte offsets) verifying that context compression is 100% bit-exact and reversible.
4. Inspectable Omissions: See exactly why low-utility spans were pruned to protect your token budget.
