+# Contributing to llm-token-surgeon
+
+First off — thank you. Every star, issue, and PR helps developers save money on LLM APIs.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ashish/llm-token-surgeon
+cd llm-token-surgeon
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+pytest
+```
+
+## What we need help with
+
+- **New optimization techniques** — found a pattern that wastes tokens? Open a PR.
+- **Provider support** — Mistral, Ollama, Cohere, Together AI.
+- **Benchmarks** — run against your real prompts and share results.
+- **VS Code extension** — tracked in #12.
+- **Bug reports** — include the prompt (redact sensitive info) and the token counts.
+
+## Adding a new optimization pass
+
+1. Add a method to `Surgeon` named `_your_technique_name`
+2. Return `(modified_text, ["technique_name"])` — empty list if no change
+3. Call it in `Surgeon.optimize()` in the right order
+4. Add a test in `tests/test_surgeon.py`
+5. Add a row to the techniques table in README
+
+## Code style
+
+We use `ruff`. Run `ruff check --fix .` before committing.
+
+## PR checklist
+
+- [ ] Tests pass (`pytest`)
+- [ ] Linter passes (`ruff check .`)
+- [ ] README updated if adding a feature
+- [ ] Added entry to CHANGELOG.md
+
+## Reporting bugs
+
+Open an issue with:
+- Python version
+- `pip show llm-token-surgeon`
+- Minimal reproduction (anonymize your prompt if needed)

+## The problem
+
+You're burning money on LLM APIs. Here's why:
+
+- 🗑️ **Redundant context** — sending the same instructions 1000x a day
+- 📝 **Bloated system prompts** — 800 tokens doing a 200-token job
+- 🔁 **Repetitive message history** — carrying dead conversation weight
+- 💬 **Verbose user messages** — not compressed before hitting the API
+
+**Most teams waste 40–70% of their token budget without knowing it.**
+
+---
+
+## The fix — 60 seconds to savings
+
+```bash
+# Analyze your prompts
+llm-surgeon analyze --file prompts.py
+
+# Auto-optimize and preview changes
+llm-surgeon optimize --file prompts.py --preview
+
+# Apply optimizations
+llm-surgeon optimize --file prompts.py --apply
+```
+
+**Real output:**
+
+```
+📊 Token Analysis Report
+========================
+File: prompts.py
+
+  system_prompt         847 tokens  →  231 tokens   (-73%)  💰 $0.31/1000 calls saved

+  conversation_history  1,204 tokens → 680 tokens   (-44%)  💰 $0.42/1000 calls saved
+
+  TOTAL SAVINGS: 54% reduction · $0.82 per 1,000 calls · $820/month at 1M calls/day

+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install llm-token-surgeon
+```
+
+Or with uv (faster):
+
+```bash
+uv add llm-token-surgeon
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+# Analyze a single file
+llm-surgeon analyze --file my_prompts.py
+
+# Analyze an entire project
+llm-surgeon analyze --dir ./src --recursive
+
+# Optimize with dry-run
+llm-surgeon optimize --file my_prompts.py --preview
+
+# Optimize and write changes
+llm-surgeon optimize --file my_prompts.py --apply
+
+# Get a cost report (set your pricing)
+llm-surgeon report --file my_prompts.py --model gpt-4o --calls-per-day 10000
+```
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+from llm_token_surgeon import Surgeon
+
+surgeon = Surgeon(model="gpt-4o")
+
+original_prompt = """
+You are a helpful assistant. Your job is to help users with their questions.
+Please be polite, concise, and accurate in your responses. Always greet the user
+first before answering. Make sure to ask clarifying questions if needed.
+"""
+
+result = surgeon.optimize(original_prompt)
+
+print(result.original_tokens)   # 58
+print(result.optimized_tokens)  # 19
+print(result.savings_pct)       # 67.2
+print(result.optimized_text)    # "Helpful, accurate assistant. Ask clarifiers if needed."
+print(result.monthly_savings_usd(calls_per_day=50000))  # $142.80
+```
+
+### Middleware (drop-in wrapper)
+
+```python
+from llm_token_surgeon import SurgeonMiddleware
+import openai
+
+client = openai.OpenAI()
+
+# Wrap your client — all calls auto-optimized
+client = SurgeonMiddleware(client, aggressiveness="balanced")
+
+# Use exactly as before — nothing else changes
+response = client.chat.completions.create(
+    model="gpt-4o",
+    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain transformers"}]
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Optimization techniques
+
+| Technique | What it does | Typical saving |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Redundancy removal** | Strips repeated instructions | 20–40% |
+| **Semantic compression** | Rewrites verbose prompts concisely | 30–60% |
+| **History pruning** | Removes low-value conversation turns | 15–45% |
+| **Whitespace normalization** | Collapses unnecessary formatting | 5–15% |
+| **Instruction deduplication** | Merges repeated directives | 10–30% |
+
