MetaClaw context-window-management
Use this skill in long conversations or multi-turn agentic sessions where context may be lost or the conversation is approaching token limits. Summarize, prioritize, and compact context proactively before it becomes a problem.

Context Window Management
Proactive summarization:
- At natural breakpoints, summarize key decisions and state into a compact form.
- Keep the active context focused on the current task; move resolved context to a summary.
Prioritization:
- Most important: current task description, constraints, and already-confirmed decisions.
- Less important: verbose tool outputs that have been processed; intermediate reasoning.
File-based memory: For long-running sessions, write important state to a file rather than keeping it all in the conversation.
Avoid: Repeatedly re-reading large files you already have in context; re-running expensive searches for information already retrieved.
