Protect agent context capacity by delegating bulk processing and retaining concise summaries.
Apply when context is filling up: large outputs, long files, repeated reads, fan-out planning. Route bulk to subagents; keep summaries in the main thread, not raw payloads.
Understand the trade-offs.

Original instructions from the publisher’s SKILL.md
# Guard the Context Window The context window is finite and non-renewable within a session. Every token should be worth its cost. **Why:** Context overflow degrades reasoning quality, creates compression artifacts, and halts progress. **Pattern:** - **Isolate large payloads.** Route verbose outputs, screenshots, and large documents to subagents. The main context gets summaries, not raw data. - **Keep frequently used content inline.** Templates and references used on every invocation belong in the skill file, not in separate files that cost a read each time. - **Size phases and cap scope.** Limit files per phase, set turn budgets, account for mechanism costs.
