Shows where your AI context budget is going, scores tab relevance, compares per-turn cost across models, and syncs to the active Copilot model automatically, so you always know how much room you have left. The Problem AI coding assistants have finite context windows. When you have 30 tabs open, your assistant's attention is diluted across irrelevant files, and you can't see what's happening. Context rot sets in silently: the model's performance degrades as conversation turns accumulate stale context. Tokalator makes this visible. Real BPE tokenizers (not guesses), per-file breakdowns, measured per-turn growth, and automatic cleanup. Features 1. Token Budget Dashboard Sidebar panel showing your context usage at a glance: - Budget level: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH with token counts - Budget breakdown: files, system prompt, instructions, conversation, output reserve - Files ranked by relevance to your current task - One-click tab cleanup - Per-turn context growth chart - Session summary on activation (last model, turns, peak usage) - High Contrast theme support 2. Context Engineering Stats A dedicated panel that quantifies context rot from your actual session: - Context-window percentage used - Turns-to-rot estimate - Measured tokens/turn growth (from real turn history, not defaults) - Estimated turns left before the rot threshold 3. API Cost Simulation + Price Compare - Next-turn cost estimate before you send, computed from in","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/vfaraji89","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/vfaraji89/tokalator/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
