The Zero-Token Context Budget: Designing Fast Agent Workflows

Why benchmark scores mean nothing if your agent takes 45 seconds to inspect a repository. The case for deterministic tooling.

01

Synthetic Latency vs Real Execution Speed

Many developer tool directories load slowly under the weight of oversized JavaScript bundles and client-side hydration. In contrast, developer agents need deterministic speed.

Markly enforces zero synthetic latency across all search indexes and server components. Clean static generation combined with atomic JSON-RPC tooling ensures that both human developers and autonomous AI assistants get instantaneous query feedback.

“Capability is not the number of actions in a schema; it is the reliability of the outcome.”
