Know how much comment context you are passing along
Before a discussion goes into another AI step, get a token count for the comment text and make prompt-size decisions with more confidence.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Count Tokens (Gemini)
Counts the number of tokens in text using gemini tokenization. useful for estimating costs, checking input limits, and optimizing prompts before making api calls.
Why this helps
Long comments can bloat an AI handoff, increasing cost and crowding out the issue details that matter.
- Estimate prompt input size before a downstream AI call.
- Spot unusually long comments for possible summarization.
- Make context choices with a clearer view of prompt volume.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gemini to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to make one.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to count tokens in each new comment's text and report the estimate for a downstream AI handoff.
- 4Pick the Linear Comment Received trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one short comment and one longer comment to compare estimates.
Questions about this workflow
Does token count equal cost?
No. It estimates text tokenization; actual cost depends on the model and other request details.
Can this count the entire issue thread?
Ask for the specific available text you want estimated. The comment event alone does not guarantee the full thread is supplied.
