How a 30-word prompt becomes 12, step by step

A few people asked what the extension actually does to a prompt, so here's the pipeline on a real example.

Input (~47 tokens):

"Could you please analyze this information and provide me with a detailed summary of the most important points, but please make sure that you focus specifically on the things that could potentially impact our marketing strategy going forward?"

1. Protect anything literal: code blocks, URLs, quoted text, e-mails. Never touched.

Which site should TokenTrim support next?

Today it works on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Each site needs its own adapter for the prompt box, so I'm adding them one at a time.

What does TokenTrim remove that it shouldn't?

I built TokenTrim to trim the padding from AI prompts ("Could you please ", "make sure that you ", repeated instructions) before they reach ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. It cut my own token usage by about 40%.

The rewriter is rule-based and runs locally, so it's fast and private, but rules can be wrong. If you try it, I'd love to know one thing: paste a prompt where it cut something you actually needed, and what mode you were in (Light / Balanced / Max).

Every example here goes straight into the next version's rules.
