Token Optimization Techniques for AI-Assisted Development

As AI-assisted development becomes a core part of engineering workflows, token usage is becoming an important cost consideration. This session will explore practical ways to reduce token consumption without compromising AI response quality, covering lean context management, prompt compression, output control, workflow optimization, model selection, and cache protection.

Through hands-on examples with GitHub Copilot and VS Code, you’ll learn how to identify common sources of token waste and apply simple techniques to make AI-assisted development more efficient. We’ll also introduce an open-source Token Efficiency Toolkit with practical tools you can use across AI coding assistants and agentic development workflows.

Key Takeaways

1. Shifting from Reactive Costing to Strategic Token Hygiene

2. Learn practical techniques that can be used in daily workflows where AI token usage matters.
