HOW THIS WORKSPACE FITS YOUR DAY

Bring the task. Make something useful.

01

Divide the context

Put instructions, source material and output requirements into named segments. Add or rearrange segments as needed.

02

Choose your budget

Select the encoding documented by your provider, enter its context capacity, and reserve space for the reply and message overhead.

03

Inspect the allocation

See token counts for every segment and the remaining budget. Export JSON or CSV to keep the assumptions beside the result.

Before you begin

Is this the exact number an API will bill?

The text counts are exact for the selected bundled encoding and separately counted segments. Message formatting, tool definitions, images and provider processing can change actual API usage.

Which encodings are available?

cl100k_base and o200k_base run locally in a browser worker. Choose the encoding your provider documents; the app does not guess a model mapping.

What happens if I exceed the budget?

The workspace shows the overage. Invalid capacity or reserve settings block export until they are corrected. A valid but over-capacity report remains useful for planning reductions.

Where is my project saved?
