Fortress Token Optimizer for VS Code

Cut your AI token costs by 10-20% without changing your workflow.

Fortress Token Optimizer runs in the background, automatically optimizing prompts before they reach GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or any LLM — saving you money on every request.

How It Works

You write prompts normally in VS Code
Fortress intercepts and compresses them (removes filler, deduplicates, tightens phrasing)
The optimized prompt goes to your LLM — same meaning, fewer tokens
You see the savings in real-time on the dashboard

Quick Start

Install from VS Code Marketplace
Press Cmd+Shift+P → "Fortress: Configure API Keys"
Enter your API key (get one free at fortress-optimizer.com)
Done — optimization starts automatically

Features

Optimization

Semantic duplicate detection — removes redundant sentences

Provider-specific rules for OpenAI, Anthropic, and others
Three levels: Conservative (~5%), Balanced (~15%), Aggressive (~20%)

Dashboard

Real-time savings tracker (tokens saved, cost reduction)
7-day and 30-day trend analysis

Security

API keys stored securely using VS Code's secrets API
No prompts stored or sent to unknown servers
Telemetry is opt-in and can be disabled
