Best Practices

Always reserve tokens for model responses:
Prioritize context elements:
Choose appropriate optimization:

Troubleshooting

Token Limit Exceeded

If hitting token limits:
  • Enable aggressive optimization
  • Reduce context items
  • Use summarization
  • Switch to larger context model

Context Loss

If losing important context:
  • Adjust priority weights
  • Increase overlap in chunking
  • Use hierarchical management
  • Enable context compression

Effective context window management is crucial for handling large documents, maintaining conversation history, and optimizing token usage. The system automatically adapts to different models and use cases while preserving the most important information.

Control what context is assembled and passed into each agent turn.

Look up per-model context limits before tuning window management.
