stas2-git Context Budget Planner
Use this skill to reduce context load while preserving the behavior the agent needs.
Workflow
- List the materials and their purpose.
- Classify each item:
- always-on rule,
- on-demand procedure,
- detailed reference,
- deterministic repeated step,
- source archive,
- irrelevant/noisy.
- Move material to the right layer.
- Create summaries only as routers or intermediate maps.
- Keep operating references short, concrete, and task-specific.
- Add eval prompts to prove the agent loads the right material.
References
- Read
references/context-layering.mdfor the placement matrix and compression rules.
Evaluation Prompts
- Positive: "This folder has huge docs; decide what should become skills versus references." Expected: context layer plan.
- Positive edge: "The agent keeps loading all references and getting worse." Expected: reduce static context and add routing.
- Negative: "Summarize this one short article." Expected: ordinary summary unless context architecture is the task.
