Context Summarizer
Summarize long conversations to fit within token windows.
When to use
- Conversation history exceeds 50% of the available token window
- Starting a new context window after a long agent session
- Preparing context for handoff between agents
- Reducing token usage to improve response latency
Summarization strategy
-
Priority system: Keep these items at full fidelity:
- User's current request
- Active file paths and code changes
- Unresolved errors or warnings
- Current task status (from progress-tracker)
-
Compression rules:
- Previous successful steps → one-line summary each
- Debug output → discard (unless relevant to current issue)
- Error traces → keep only the key error message (strip full backtrace)
- Code diffs → keep only the summary line (file changed + +/- stats)
-
Output format:
## Context Summary
- **Task**: {current objective}
- **Files changed**: {list of files}
- **Progress**: {N/M steps completed}
- **Active issues**: {error descriptions}
- **History**: {2-3 sentence summary of what was done}
