Prompt Token Minifier
A zero-dependency Python micro-tool to shrink your LLM prompts before sending them to the API. It saves tokens and reduces costs by:
- Minifying JSON schemas and examples inside Markdown blocks.
- Stripping comments (
//,#,/* */) from code blocks. - Collapsing redundant whitespaces and newlines.
Installation
pip install prompt-token-minifier
Usage
from prompt_token_minifier import minify_prompt
raw_prompt = """

return a + b
print(minify_prompt(raw_prompt))
Output: (Saves ~40% tokens depending on formatting)
