v0.0.4 — Optimize Pilot
First Marketplace release of Optimize Pilot — compress your Copilot Chat prompts to save tokens before they reach the selected model.
Install: `code --install-extension thavionai.optimize-pilot` or search Optimize Pilot in the Extensions view.
Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=thavionai.optimize-pilot
Highlights
- `@optimize` chat participant: optimizes your prompt, shows before/after token counts, then forwards the slimmed prompt to the model you selected.
- ~60 local, deterministic rules (verbose-phrase reductions, filler/politeness removal, first-person framing removal, whitespace) — zero token cost, code blocks preserved.
- Configurable via `promptOptimizer.*` settings.
- Requires VS Code 1.96.0+ and a language-model provider (GitHub Copilot Chat).
The attached `.vsix` can be installed directly via "Install from VSIX…".
