Context window management
Lifecycle
| Phase | Action |
|---|---|
| Bootstrap | Load spec, constraints, key paths only—not whole repo |
| During task | Append deltas; replace full file reads with summaries after use |
| Before compaction | Write Session state block (objective, done, open, paths) |
| Session end | Drop tool noise; keep decisions and verification evidence |
Strategy order
- Do not load — use search/read targeted files only.
- Reference — pointers (paths, line ranges) instead of full paste.
- Summarize — compress completed work; keep decisions and open items.
- Drop — remove obsolete tool output and duplicated content.
