Word Count

Count words, characters, and sentences in supplied text

Installation

Start in a ChatJS app with chat.config.ts and components.json. No additional credentials are required.

npx @chat-js/cli@latest add word-count

The command installs the server tool, renderer, and registration descriptor under tools/chatjs/word-count/, along with required dependencies and shared renderer helpers. It then regenerates the app’s tool registrations.

Usage

Ask your chat model: “Count the words and characters in: Hello world.” Use a model that supports tool calling.

The tool accepts a text string and returns words, characters, charactersNoSpaces, and sentences. The example text produces two words, 12 characters, 11 characters without whitespace, and one sentence.

Behavior and limitations

Words are split on whitespace and sentences on ., !, or ?. These are simple counts rather than language-aware tokenization.

Customize

Edit the installed tool.ts and renderer.tsx to change behavior or presentation. See Installation for updates and sync, and Authoring Tools to publish your own item.
