paleo-trim-context

Keep context small. Drop stale, keep task state.

Rules

  • Summarize old tool output into 1-2 lines; keep only the result that matters.
  • Drop: resolved errors, obsolete file reads, duplicate logs.
  • Keep: current plan, open TODO, key IDs/paths, last decision.
  • Use session_search / notes for history instead of re-pasting.
  • Prefer code/script over long prose explanations in context.
  • Pre-thinking compression (biggest savings): BEFORE the model reasons, compress retrieved docs / RAG context / long file dumps into key facts + a source pointer. Drop full-doc dumps.
  • Effort pinning: trivial task -> signal low effort, no over-think. Reuse a prior conclusion instead of re-reasoning the same thing.

Scope boundary (don't collide with siblings)

  • Context hygiene + effort pinning + pre-thinking compression = THIS skill (runs automatically during the session).
  • paleo-converse = explicit conversation-turn compression + dedup (on-demand, when the user points at history or context is heavy).
  • paleo-summary = one bulky artifact (log / diff / dump / stdout) -> tight intisari.
  • Hand off to those when the target is a specific turn-block or a single artifact; don't re-implement them here.
