CPF: Compact Prompt Format — 30-50% Fewer Tokens, Zero Loss
· 9 min read
LLM prompts are full of repeated English grammar. Every "If a module exists, then recommend it. Do NOT reinvent the wheel." burns tokens on words the model already understands. I built CPF (Compact Prompt Format) to replace that grammar with operators and abbreviations that LLMs decode natively — cutting token costs by 30-50% with zero runtime dependencies.
