token-budget-advisor
Offer a choice of response depth (25%/50%/75%/100%) with token estimates before answering, then answer at that level. Use when the user asks to control response length or token budget, such as 'token budget', 'short version', 'brief answer', 'respuesta corta vs larga', 'cuántos tokens', 'ahorrar tokens', 'responde al 50%', 'dame la versión corta', 'quiero controlar cuánto usas'. Skip if depth is already set this session or 'token' means an auth/payment token.

Intercept the response flow to offer the user a choice about response depth before Claude answers. User wants to control how long or detailed a response is User mentions tokens, budget, depth, or response length User says "short version", "tldr", "brief", "al 25%", "exhaustive", etc. Any time the user wants to choose depth/detail level upfront Do not trigger when: user already set a level this session (maintain it silently), or the answer is trivially one line. Use the repository's canonical context-budget heuristics to estimate the prompt's token count mentally. Use the same calibration guidance as context-budget: prose: words × 1.3 code-heavy or mixed/code blocks: chars / 4 For mixed content, use the dominant content type and keep the estimate heuristic. Classify the prompt, then apply the multiplier range to get the full response window: | Complexity | Multiplier range | Example prompts | |--------------|------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Simple | 3× – 8× | "What is X?", yes/no, single fact | | Medium | 8× – 20× | "How does X work?" | | Medium-High | 10× – 25× | Code request with context | | Complex | 15× – 40× | Multi-part analysis, com
