Most AI agent memory never pays for itself

Built a small tool for Claude Code that tracks whether “agent memory” rules actually pay for themselves in token usage. The idea is simple: every persistent instruction should justify itself by reducing future token cost. If it doesn’t, it gets flagged for removal. Over time, a surprising amount of memory ends up being neutral or negative ROI once measured. Check it out, would mean a lot :) Repo: https://github.com/vukkt/token-warden
