Co-Founder & Head of Technology at Adelev8 in Bengaluru, India.

I build diagnostic tooling and CLIs for people shipping with AI agents: token cost meters, agent benchmarks, fresh-clone replay, instruction-file audits.

That's a real npx ctxvitals run on my own machine: 886 skills and 14 MCP servers spend 138,940 tokens before the model reads a word. Grade: F. That number is why these tools exist.

• ctxvitals (npx ctxvitals) - a Lighthouse for your AI agent stack: measures the real token cost of MCP servers, skills, and rules; flags security issues and duplicates; grades the setup A-F.
• agent-trials (npx agent-trials) - run the same JSON task suite through every coding agent CLI you have installed (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) in sandboxed repo copies; scoreboard of who passed, how long they took, what it cost.
• ruleherd (npx ruleherd) - audits CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules and friends for contradictions, dead file references, and copy-pasted rules that drifted apart. Also in Rust: ruleherd-rs.
• mcp-tax (npx mcp-tax-cli) - how many tokens your MCP servers burn before you type a word. Also in Rust: mcp-tax-rs.
• mcp-bouncer (npx mcp-bouncer) - policy-enforcement proxy for stdio MCP servers: tool allowlists, method gating, path traversal and SSRF blocking, rate limits, JSONL audit logs.
• canimcp (npx canimcp) - preflight checker for MCP servers: which clients silently drop or mangle your tools, checked against a versioned quirks corpus (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Zed, Continue).

• coldstart (npx coldstart-cli) - replays your README's install instructions in a clean clone and reports the exact step where a new user hits a wall.
• readmeroast (npx readmeroast you/yourrepo) - scores any GitHub README out of 100 and roasts what it's missing.
• slopsieve (npx slopsieve) - score a diff or PR for 15 AI-slop review signals: test weakening, secret leaks, phantom imports, debug leftovers, dead exports. Also in Rust: slopsieve-rs.
• dep-census - who actually maintains the code inside your node_modules.

• MaintainerOS - command center for open-source maintainers: repo health, stale backlog, security readiness, issue triage, PR review, Actions reports. Live at maintaineros.prince.sh.
• Quantiti - live trading journal with real Zerodha Kite order routing.
• Day job: built and still operate the full stack for Bigg Bounce, a 30,000 sq ft entertainment park in Bengaluru - ticketing site, self-service kiosks, POS, QR turnstiles, Razorpay UPI reconciliation, rain-day transfers. Rs 80 lakh+ recorded across 2,900+ paid bookings and 6,500+ POS orders in its first 20 days, backed by 46 Postgres migrations and a five-node Linux fleet.
