steering push-vs-point

Steer agents across sessions without overloading the context window. Default: point; push only what must apply every turn.

When

  • Writing or pruning a repo's AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md.
  • A rule fires on the wrong tasks, or a needed rule never fires.
  • Asking whether something must be always-on or reachable on demand.

Context load (two costs)

Anything loaded up front is resent on every model provider request. You pay (1) tokens and (2) attention — extra rules quiet every other rule and nudge toward the dumb zone.

Push vs point

Push Point
What Full rule always in window (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md) Tiny pointer; full text in docs/skill
Cost High every request Minimal most turns
Risk Rules fire on wrong tasks Must be discoverable when needed
