 ## Why?
 
-LLMs charge per-token. When you feed them an entire codebase, you're paying for lines that don't matter. This tool reduces context size by extracting only the essential structure: symbols, their types, and their documentation. The result is a lean summary that lets you understand any codebase in seconds—without the cost of feeding it everything.
+Reasoning and coding LLMs charge per-token. Every token in your context window—including source code, comments, and boilerplate—counts toward your bill. For large codebases, this adds up fast.
+
+Context windows also have hard limits. Feed too much and the model can't hold the rest, or you pay premium rates for extended context. Most of a codebase is noise: generated files, dependency manifests, test harnesses, utility functions that do matter to runtime but not to understanding the architecture.
+
+This tool extracts only the essential structure—public symbols, their types, signatures, and documentation—so you get a codebase map that fits in a fraction of the tokens. Less context used means lower costs per query, more budget for actual reasoning, and faster responses.
