We got the bill first.

skinny.cloud was built by AxW — founder of NXTG.AI — after running 15 active AI projects in production and watching context bloat quietly eat the monthly Claude bill. Big Tech wants you to buy more context. We want you to need less.

The breaking point was Ghost Calendars — an agent that spent three weeks burning tokens on stale date assumptions before anyone noticed. The agent was confidently wrong; the bill was confidently real. After the post-mortem we built the Runtime Diet — a one-line audit that shows exactly where every token goes and what to cut first.

Across 15 active AI projects, context discipline alone cut Claude costs by $750/month. No vendor lock-in, no premium tier, no upsell. The receipts are public.

skinny.cloud is for practitioners who are done subsidizing someone else’s growth round.
