Developers can now estimate and manage the token count of their codebases to fit within large language model context windows. A new tool, ctxpack, offers an offline method to calculate token estimates by averaging character count and word/symbol run counts, providing a result within 5-10% accuracy of actual tokenizers. This allows developers to determine if a codebase will fit a target model's context window and, if not, to strategically trim the largest file bodies while retaining the file index, ensuring the model is aware of all project components.
