Strict Token-Bounded Summarization Protocol (50-Token Budget Guard)
Overview
When asked for a progress update, PR review summary, or bug fix report ("Summarize the database migration changes"), default LLM models emit 300 to 500 words of conversational prose:
- Paragraph 1: Re-stating the initial problem and history
- Paragraph 2: Generic explanations of what SQL tables do
- Paragraph 3: Conversational sign-off
Generating 400-word summaries burns 500+ output tokens per report, slows down interactive terminal velocity, and clutters pull request comment threads.
The Strict Token-Bounded Summarization Protocol enforces a 50-token structural formula ([ACTION] -> [CHANGE] -> [STATUS]), paired with a hard API ceiling (max_tokens: 60).
