Archive of posts about token management, context design, working-state summaries, and compression strategy.
This archive collects posts about where tokens are really spent in agent systems, what state should remain live, and what should be compressed or moved out of the working context. The focus is on context control and execution stability rather than simple cost-saving tips.

Explains that token savings are not about deleting as much as possible, but about preserving control information while raising information density and priori...
Explains how to replace full history with a short working-state summary that directly controls the current task.
Explains why logs, plans, memory, and prior conversation history often bloat agent context and weaken execution quality.
Explains why AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and system prompts often bloat into structures that waste tokens and weaken execution quality.
Explains token management as a stability, latency, and context-control problem in agent systems, not just a cost issue.
