LLM Tokenization: Encode Text Without Losing Context
Design text preparation around the chosen tokenizer, context budget, Unicode handling, and explicit truncation rules.

Prepare the input. Constrain the plan.
AI encoding can mean preparing model input or using a model to propose a media workflow. This collection keeps those responsibilities separate. Tokenization concerns the representation and selection of text; prompt planning concerns converting a brief into choices your application is prepared to validate and execute.
A useful reading path
Read the tokenization guide when designing context budgets, truncation, batching, or chat formatting. Choose the prompt-planning guide when a natural-language instruction needs to become a structured media job. Both articles place application policy outside the model response and make configuration changes reviewable.
Put the ideas to work
Build a compact reference set containing clear, ambiguous, and unsupported requests. Inspect the prepared input or proposed plan rather than relying only on a successful response. The aim is understandable behavior at the boundary between source content, application instructions, and downstream execution.

Turn natural-language media briefs into constrained, reviewable configuration without giving a model unrestricted execution.
