 "title": "Measure how many prompt tokens selection saves",
 "page_title": "How to measure how many prompt tokens selection saves with Schemagate",
 "summary": "Compare the DDL a model gets with and without Schemagate for one question on the bundled schema.",
 "who": "A team lead estimating the token cost of a text-to-SQL agent before rolling it out on a large schema.",
 "problem": "Pasting the whole schema into every prompt costs more as the schema grows, and the cost is hard to estimate without seeing the actual prompt.",
 "outcome": "You see the reduced DDL for one question, with a token count compared against the full schema.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `pip install schemagate` to install the library.",
  "Run `schemagate demo \"late shipments by carrier\" --prompt` to print the DDL the model would receive.",
  "Run `schemagate demo \"which customers owe us money\"` and note the objects count and approximate token figure shown.",
  "Repeat with your own questions and compare against the full schema size."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install schemagate, then run `schemagate demo \"late shipments by carrier\" --prompt` and `schemagate demo \"which customers owe us money\"`. Report the number of selected objects and the approximate prompt token count for each, and state the total object count of the bundled schema.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The savings figures in the README come from the test schemas and a built-in estimator, so your own schema and tokenizer will give different numbers.",
