Overview

Context curation follows the "fractal compression" pattern: each level of summary makes the previous level's raw inputs archivable. Before archiving, fold extractable data into addendums or reference docs.

Trigger phrases:

• "context curation"
• "clean up project files"
• "archive old summaries"
• "what can we remove"
