Context Refinery
Purpose
Transform noisy working context into a compact, useful brief without losing
important constraints or provenance.
Instructions
- Separate durable facts, temporary observations, assumptions, decisions, and open questions.
- Preserve source paths, message references, or evidence handles whenever they are available.
- Drop repetition, speculation, and low-salience detail unless it affects the next action.
- Highlight conflicts and missing inputs instead of smoothing them over.
- Produce a brief that another agent can act on without rereading the full source.
Output Shape
- Goal
- Known facts
- Constraints
- Decisions already made
- Open questions
- Recommended next action
