Context window management

Lifecycle

PhaseAction
BootstrapLoad spec, constraints, key paths only—not whole repo
During taskAppend deltas; replace full file reads with summaries after use
Before compactionWrite Session state block (objective, done, open, paths)
Session endDrop tool noise; keep decisions and verification evidence

Strategy order

  1. Do not load — use search/read targeted files only.
  2. Reference — pointers (paths, line ranges) instead of full paste.
  3. Summarize — compress completed work; keep decisions and open items.
  4. Drop — remove obsolete tool output and duplicated content.

What to keep in active context

  • Current objective and acceptance criteria
  • Constraints (env, versions, "do not touch")
  • Recent errors and fixes
  • Open questions

What to offload

  • Full file contents already summarized
  • Long command outputs (keep exit code + last N lines)
  • Exploratory branches that did not ship

Compaction pattern

## Session state (compacted)
Objective: ...
Done: ...
Open: ...
Key paths: ...
Do not repeat: [list already-established facts]

Multi-file work

  • Load one module at a time when possible.
  • Prefer ripgrep/semantic search over dumping trees.
  • For RAG: retrieve only top-k relevant chunks.

Anti-patterns

  • Pasting entire repos or logs into chat.
  • Re-explaining architecture every turn without delta.
  • Keeping failed attempts at full length after resolution.

Session setup (context engineering)

Before long tasks, establish a minimal working set:

  1. Objective block — one paragraph: goal, non-goals, done-when
  2. Constraint block — versions, env, files off-limits
  3. Reference map — paths to spec, ADR, or ticket; load on demand
  4. Tool policy — which tools/skills apply; avoid loading unused skill bodies

Refresh the objective block after major pivots; do not re-paste full history.

Pairing

Use with rag-systems for external knowledge; clarify-underspecified when scope grows mid-session; interview-me before loading large specs.
