Interesting. Can anyone provide personal insights or benchmarks on how effective TOON compared to e.g., JSON or Markdown is (Codex, Claude, ...)?
The reason people do custom is to craft very good instructions and tools, something a machine is not capable of

I had it run a separate analysis using traditional vs. opty and count the actual tool calls and input token counts. My prompt was basically, "do a full analysis of this entire codebase."try quality instead
