Context Budget
Overview
Context windows are finite resources. This skill provides strategies for managing context budget effectively — ensuring critical information is always available while staying within limits.
When to Use
- Session context is growing large
- Agent starts losing track of earlier instructions
- Working with large codebases or long files
- Before starting a complex multi-step task
Context Budget Tiers
| Tier | Context Used | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Green | 0-50% | Normal operation |
| Yellow | 50-75% | Start compressing, remove stale context |
