Context Hygiene for Coding Agents: Murder, Lobotomy, or Diary
A million-token context window doesn’t mean you should fill it.
Every piece of information you keep in a coding agent’s active context has a cost. Not just in tokens and dollars, but in the model’s attention.
In this episode, we explore context hygiene for coding agents: how to decide what deserves to stay in active context, what to move elsewhere, and when to throw context away entirely.
