Tools built for
everyday headaches.

Every tool here tackles a recurring problem we ran into ourselves—built simply, without unnecessary complexity.

01

ACTIVE PROJECT

ACTIVE PROJECT

cubtoken

Feed your AI models structure, not spam

A fast Rust CLI that turns bulky file reads into clean Tree-sitter outlines, keeping line numbers intact and saving tokens.

03

ACTIVE PROJECT

LinkSentinel

Fix broken links without melting your server

A lightweight WordPress plugin that catches dead ends and redirects in gentle batches, so you can clean up internal links safely.

  • WordPress
  • Technical SEO
  • GPLv2

Built to be useful,
not complicated.

  1. 01

    Save your tokens for what matters.

    Keep the code structure and types, but ditch repetitive boilerplate before it burns through your context window.

  2. 02

    Lean on native tools.

    Fast local binaries, CLI hooks, and targeted scripts beat adding yet another paid SaaS subscription.

  3. 03

    Keep things inspectable.

    No black boxes. Everything produces readable logs, transparent changes, and clear diffs you can verify yourself.
