/ashlr-demo

When to use

When onboarding a teammate or showing ashlr's value to a skeptic. Runs entirely on real project files — no mocked data.

What it does

1. Finds the largest TypeScript (or relevant source) file in the current repo, ignoring node_modules and build artifacts.
2. Calls ashlr__read on it and captures the returned payload size.
3. Compares payload size to the raw file size via wc -c.
4. Prints a before/after comparison with the savings percentage.
5. Runs a timed grep to show genome vs ripgrep speed difference (if genome is present).

Output

Demo: ashlr__read on servers/efficiency-server.ts

  Raw file:    18,432 bytes (1,847 lines)
  Returned:     2,201 bytes (220 lines)
  Savings:    −88%  (saving ~1,300 tokens per read)

At 5 reads/session that is ~6,500 tokens/session, ~$0.02/session saved.
Run /ashlr-savings to see your actual ledger.
