Token Budget Advisor

Intercepts Claude's response flow to let you pick how deep an answer you want before it starts writing. Triggers when you mention token budget, response length, or ask for a "short version" versus "exhaustive answer." Uses heuristic token estimation (no real tokenizer, roughly 85-90% accurate) to show you four depth levels with projected token counts, then responds accordingly. The 25% level gives you 2-4 sentences max, 100% holds nothing back. Honestly useful if you're token-conscious or just want control over verbosity without rephrasing your question. Maintains your choice across follow-ups in the same session. Supports Spanish variants too.
