Chain-of-Thought: Token Usage Optimization

Optimize token usage for this RAG pipeline systematically.

Current Pipeline:
{{pipeline_description}}

Token Consumption:
{{token_metrics}}

Cost Constraints:
{{budget_limits}}

Step 1: Audit current token usage per component
Step 2: Identify highest token consumers
Step 3: Analyze prompt templates for redundancy
Step 4: Evaluate context window utilization efficiency
Step 5: Design compression strategies for each stage
Step 6: Calculate expected savings per optimization
Step 7: Prioritize optimizations by ROI

Provide implementation plan with expected token reduction percentages.
