Context Window Management

Proactive summarization:

• At natural breakpoints, summarize key decisions and state into a compact form.
• Keep the active context focused on the current task; move resolved context to a summary.

Prioritization:

• Most important: current task description, constraints, and already-confirmed decisions.
• Less important: verbose tool outputs that have been processed; intermediate reasoning.

File-based memory: For long-running sessions, write important state to a file rather than keeping it all in the conversation.

Avoid: Repeatedly re-reading large files you already have in context; re-running expensive searches for information already retrieved.
