SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents users from getting responses that are too long or too shallow by letting them select the desired depth upfront, especially when the user is trying to manage token usage or answer length.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Token-budget guided depth selection: Estimates input and response size using heuristic context-budget rules, then presents actionable depth tiers (25/50/75/100%).
  • Session-aware behavior: Avoids re-asking when the user has already set a depth level in the current session.
  • Clear triggers and exclusions: Activates when users explicitly request response length/depth control, and avoids triggering for one-word requests or unrelated uses of the word “token.”
  • Use case: When you ask for “short version” or “exhaustive answer,” the skill helps you choose an appropriate depth tier before the model generates content.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant for a controlled response length, such as “Give me the short version first—then I’ll choose a deeper level.”

Frequently Asked Questions about token-budget-advisor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I control response length and depth before the AI generates an answer?▼

To control response length, you can request a specific answer depth upfront, prompting the system to estimate token counts and present selectable output tiers before generating the final response.

Can I set a token budget for prompt engineering to avoid overly long answers?▼

Yes, you can set a token budget by explicitly mentioning token count or response length limits, which triggers heuristic estimation and maps your prompt complexity to tiered output options.

Does the depth selection menu appear every time I ask a question?▼

The depth selection menu does not appear if you already set a depth level in the current session or if your request is trivially short, ensuring session-aware behavior and avoiding repetitive prompts.

What is the best way to get a brief versus exhaustive answer across different languages?▼

To get a brief versus exhaustive answer, ask for a short version or exhaustive detail; the system applies multilingual token estimation to offer appropriate response depth tiers before answering.

Why does the token budget menu not trigger when I use the word token in a normal question?▼

The token budget menu avoids triggering for unrelated uses of the word token or one-word requests, activating only when you explicitly request response length, depth, or detail level control.

What response depth tiers are available when managing answer length?▼

Available response depth tiers typically include 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent, allowing you to choose the exact level of detail and token consumption for your generated answer.
