⚠️ I. TOKEN USAGE PROBLEMS
Current Issues
// ❌ PROBLEM 1: Sending entire file every time
const messages = [
{
role: 'system',
content: LONG_SYSTEM_PROMPT // 5,000 tokens every request!
},
{
role: 'user',
content: `Edit this file:\n${entireFileContent}` // 10,000+ tokens
}
];
// Cost: ~15,000 tokens x $0.01/1K = $0.15 per request
// With 1000 requests/day = $150/day = $4,500/month! 💸
// ❌ PROBLEM 2: No caching
// Same question asked 100 times = 100x API calls
await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // No cache
// ❌ PROBLEM 3: Full conversation history
const history = messages.slice(0, 50); // Last 50 messages
// Each message ~500 tokens = 25,000 tokens just for context!
// ❌ PROBLEM 4: Redundant tool descriptions
tools: [
{ name: 'write', description: '500 tokens...' },
{ name: 'read', description: '400 tokens...' },
// ... 10 tools = 5,000 tokens
];
Target Improvements
Current: 15,000 tokens/request
Target: 2,000 tokens/request
Savings: 87% reduction ✅
Cost reduction:
$4,500/month → $600/month
Savings: $3,900/month! 💰
🎯 II. MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM
Architecture
/**

* Mỗi agent có:
* - Smaller context window

* - Fewer tools
* - Lower cost per operation

🎯 V. PROMPT OPTIMIZATION
Compressed Prompts
// ❌ BAD: Long, verbose prompt (5,000 tokens)
const verbosePrompt = `
You are Lovable, an expert AI assistant and exceptional senior software developer...
[5000 tokens of detailed instructions]
`;
// ✅ GOOD: Compressed prompt (500 tokens)
const compressedPrompt = `You're a React/TS code generator.
Rules:
- Use Tailwind CSS
- TypeScript strict
- Semantic HTML
- Design system tokens
- No hardcoded colors
Output: Complete code only.`;
// Token savings: 90%! 🎉
File: src/lib/ai/prompt-templates.ts
export const PROMPT_TEMPLATES = {
// Minimal system prompts
code: `React/TS generator. Tailwind CSS. Design tokens. Concise code.`,
design: `UI expert. Tailwind variants. Semantic tokens. Beautiful designs.`,
debug: `Fix TS/runtime errors. Minimal targeted fixes.`,
// Task-specific templates with placeholders
component: `Generate {componentType} component: {description}
Props: {props}
Design: {designTokens}
Output: Code only.`,
edit: `Edit {filePath} at lines {startLine}-{endLine}.
Change: {description}
Output: Modified code only.`,
fix: `Fix error in {filePath}:
Error: {errorMessage}
Stack: {stack}
Output: Fix only.`
};
/**
* Build minimal prompt from template
*/
export function buildPrompt(
template: string,
vars: Record<string, any>
): string {
let prompt = PROMPT_TEMPLATES[template];
// Replace variables
Object.entries(vars).forEach(([key, value]) => {
const placeholder = `{${key}}`;
prompt = prompt.replace(
new RegExp(placeholder, 'g'),
String(value)
);
});
return prompt;
}
// Usage
const prompt = buildPrompt('component', {
componentType: 'Button',
description: 'Primary action button',
props: 'children, onClick, variant',
designTokens: JSON.stringify(theme)
});
// Result: ~200 tokens vs 5,000 tokens
// Savings: 96%! 🎉
🛠️ VI. TOOL USE OPTIMIZATION
Problem
Mỗi lần gọi AI với tools, bạn phải send toàn bộ tool definitions:
// ❌ BAD: Sending all 15 tool definitions mỗi request
const tools = [
{
name: 'read_file',
description: 'Read the contents of a file from the project filesystem. This tool allows you to access any file in the current project directory and its subdirectories. Use this when you need to examine existing code, configuration files, or any other text-based files...',
parameters: { /* ... 50 lines ... */ }
},
{
name: 'write_file',
description: 'Write or create a new file in the project filesystem. This tool creates a new file or overwrites an existing file with the provided content. Use this when you need to generate new code files, configuration files, or any other text-based files...',
parameters: { /* ... 50 lines ... */ }
},
// ... 13 more tools
];
// Total: ~8,000 tokens just for tool definitions! 😱
Cost Impact:
- 15 tools × ~500 tokens each = 7,500 tokens
- Sent in EVERY request
- At 10,000 requests/day = 75M tokens/day = $112.50/day = $3,375/month
Solution 1: Lazy Tool Loading
Chỉ load tools khi cần thiết dựa vào intent
File: src/lib/ai/tool-loader.ts
export type ToolCategory = 'file' | 'project' | 'search' | 'git' | 'terminal';
export class ToolLoader {
private toolRegistry: Map<string, AgentTool> = new Map();
constructor() {
this.registerAllTools();
}
/**
* Get only relevant tools for current task
*/
getToolsForIntent(intent: string, context?: string): AgentTool[] {
const relevantCategories = this.categorizeIntent(intent);
const tools: AgentTool[] = [];
for (const category of relevantCategories) {
tools.push(...this.getToolsByCategory(category));
}
return tools;
}
private categorizeIntent(intent: string): ToolCategory[] {
const lower = intent.toLowerCase();
// Code generation → only file tools
if (lower.includes('create') || lower.includes('generate')) {
return ['file'];
}
// Debugging → file + search tools
if (lower.includes('fix') || lower.includes('debug') || lower.includes('error')) {
return ['file', 'search'];
}
// Refactoring → file + search + git
if (lower.includes('refactor') || lower.includes('rename')) {
return ['file', 'search', 'git'];
}
// Project setup → all tools
if (lower.includes('setup') || lower.includes('scaffold')) {
return ['file', 'project', 'git', 'terminal'];
}
// Default: minimal set
return ['file'];
}
private getToolsByCategory(category: ToolCategory): AgentTool[] {
const categoryMap: Record<ToolCategory, string[]> = {
file: ['read_file', 'write_file', 'edit_file', 'delete_file'],
project: ['list_files', 'get_project_structure'],
search: ['search_files', 'grep_content'],
git: ['git_status', 'git_diff', 'git_commit'],
terminal: ['execute_command']
};
const toolNames = categoryMap[category] || [];
return toolNames
.map(name => this.toolRegistry.get(name))
.filter(Boolean) as AgentTool[];
}
}
// Usage in Agent
const toolLoader = new ToolLoader();
async function handleRequest(message: string) {
// Only load relevant tools
const tools = toolLoader.getToolsForIntent(message);
// Instead of 15 tools (7,500 tokens)
// Now only 3-4 tools (1,500 tokens)
// Savings: 80%! 🎉
const response = await llm.generate(message, { tools });
return response;
}
Token Savings:
- Before: 15 tools = 7,500 tokens
- After: 3 tools = 1,500 tokens
- Savings: 80% (6,000 tokens per request)
Solution 2: Compressed Tool Definitions
Rút gọn tool descriptions xuống minimum
File: src/lib/ai/tools-compressed.ts
export const TOOLS_COMPRESSED = [
// ❌ BEFORE (500 tokens)
{
name: 'read_file',
description: 'Read the contents of a file from the project filesystem. This tool allows you to access any file in the current project directory and its subdirectories. Use this when you need to examine existing code, configuration files, or any other text-based files. The file path should be relative to the project root. Returns the full content of the file as a string. If the file does not exist or cannot be read, an error will be returned.',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
path: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The relative path to the file from the project root. Examples: "src/App.tsx", "package.json", "README.md". The path must be within the project directory.'
}
},
required: ['path']
}
},
// ✅ AFTER (100 tokens)
{
name: 'read_file',
description: 'Read file content',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
path: { type: 'string', description: 'File path' }
},
required: ['path']
}
}
];
// Savings per tool: 80%
// For 15 tools: 7,500 → 1,500 tokens
// Savings: 6,000 tokens! 🎉
Solution 3: Function Calling Cache
Cache tool results để reuse
File: src/lib/ai/tool-cache.ts
import { createHash } from 'crypto';

🚀 IX. INTEGRATION GUIDE
Step-by-Step Implementation
Step 1: Install Dependencies
npm install openai pgvector
npm install --save-dev @types/node
Step 2: Run Database Migrations
# Create semantic cache table
psql $DATABASE_URL -f migrations/semantic_cache.sql
# Create usage tracking table
psql $DATABASE_URL -f migrations/usage_tracking.sql
Step 3: Update Environment Variables
# Add to .env.local
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL=text-embedding-3-small
# Optional: Claude
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
Step 4: Replace Existing Agent
Before (src/lib/ai/agent.ts):
// ❌ OLD: Single agent
export async function chatWithAI(message: string) {
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4-turbo-preview',
messages: [
{ role: 'system', content: LONG_SYSTEM_PROMPT },
...conversationHistory,
{ role: 'user', content: message }
],
tools: ALL_15_TOOLS
});
return response;
}
After (src/lib/ai/agent-optimized.ts):
// ✅ NEW: Multi-agent with optimization
import { AgentOrchestrator } from './agent-orchestrator';
import { SemanticCache } from './semantic-cache';
import { UsageTracker } from './usage-tracker';
const orchestrator = new AgentOrchestrator();
const cache = new SemanticCache();
const tracker = new UsageTracker();
export async function chatWithAI(
message: string,
context: AgentContext,
userId: string
) {
// 1. Check semantic cache
const cached = await cache.getSimilar(message, 0.85);
if (cached) {
// Track cache hit (0 tokens)

cache_hit: false
});
// 4. Save to cache for future use
await cache.save(

}
Step 5: Update API Route
File: src/app/api/chat/route.ts

} catch (error: any) {
// Handle quota exceeded
if (error.message?.includes('quota exceeded')) {

const { data: project } = await supabase
.from('projects')
.select('*, project_files(*)')
.eq('id', projectId)
.single();
return {
projectId,
fileTree: project.file_tree,
designSystem: project.design_system,
recentFiles: project.project_files.slice(0, 5), // Only recent files
conversationHistory: [] // Managed by context manager
};
}
Step 6: Add Usage Dashboard
// src/app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { UsageStatsCard } from '@/components/dashboard/usage-stats';
export default function DashboardPage() {
return (
<div className="container mx-auto py-8">
<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Dashboard</h1>
{/* Usage Statistics */}
<UsageStatsCard />
{/* ... rest of dashboard */}
</div>
);
}
Step 7: Test Optimizations
// test-optimization.ts
import { chatWithAI } from '@/lib/ai/agent-optimized';
async function testOptimizations() {
console.log('🧪 Testing AI Optimizations\n');
// Test 1: First request (cache miss)
console.log('Test 1: Cache Miss');
const start1 = Date.now();
const response1 = await chatWithAI(
'Create a Button component',
mockContext,
'test-user-id'
);
const time1 = Date.now() - start1;
console.log(` Time: ${time1}ms`);
console.log(` Tokens: ${response1.usage?.totalTokens}`);
console.log(` Cost: $${response1.usage?.cost.toFixed(4)}`);
console.log(` Cached: ${response1.cached}\n`);
// Test 2: Similar request (cache hit expected)
console.log('Test 2: Cache Hit (Similar Request)');
const start2 = Date.now();
const response2 = await chatWithAI(
'Create a button component with variants',
mockContext,
'test-user-id'
);
const time2 = Date.now() - start2;
console.log(` Time: ${time2}ms (${Math.round((1 - time2/time1) * 100)}% faster)`);
console.log(` Tokens: ${response2.usage?.totalTokens || 0}`);
console.log(` Cost: $${(response2.usage?.cost || 0).toFixed(4)}`);
console.log(` Cached: ${response2.cached}\n`);
// Test 3: Different intent (different agent)
console.log('Test 3: Multi-Agent Routing');
const start3 = Date.now();
const response3 = await chatWithAI(
'Fix the TypeScript error in App.tsx',
mockContext,
'test-user-id'
);
const time3 = Date.now() - start3;
console.log(` Time: ${time3}ms`);
console.log(` Agent: ${response3.agent}`);
console.log(` Tokens: ${response3.usage?.totalTokens}`);
console.log(` Cost: $${response3.usage?.cost.toFixed(4)}\n`);
console.log('✅ All tests completed!');
}
testOptimizations().catch(console.error);
