Context Trimmer
===============

[](#context-trimmer)

**A tokenizer-agnostic text preprocessor for trimming context in LLM applications.**

*Requires PHP 8.2 or higher.*

This library provides functions to process, trim, and optimize text for large language model (LLM) context windows. It includes options for removing short words, stripping extraneous punctuation, and compressing whitespace.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require codechap/context-trimmer:"dev-master"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a file (for example, `run.php`) with the following code to see the ContextTrimmer in action:

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use codechap\ContextTrimmer\ContextTrimmer;

// Load your context from a file
$input = file_get_contents('context.txt');

// Configure and trim the input text using chained setters
$result = new ContextTrimmer()
    ->set('removeShortWords', true)
    ->set('minWordLength', 2)
    ->set('removeExtraneous', true)
    ->set('maxTokens', 50)
    ->trim($input);

// Output the trimmed text segments as JSON
echo json_encode($result, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
```

In this example, the `ContextTrimmer` is configured to remove short words, strip extraneous punctuation, and limit tokens per segment (50 tokens in this case). The resulting trimmed output is returned as an array of text segments.

Running Tests
