What is observation masking in AI agents?

Observation masking replaces large, low-value tool outputs with compact summaries or references. This prevents 'context bloat' from raw data while keeping essential facts available for reasoning.

Does this skill help with response latency?

Yes. Techniques like KV-cache optimization and reducing total token counts lead to faster processing times and lower time-to-first-token in production environments.

How does context optimization reduce API costs?

By summarizing history and masking verbose tool outputs, the system sends fewer tokens to the model per request, which directly lowers your API billing and token usage.

When should I trigger context compaction?

It is best practice to trigger compaction when context utilization reaches 70-80% of the model's limit, or when you notice performance degradation in long conversations.

Is context partitioning useful for multi-agent systems?

Absolutely. Partitioning allows sub-agents to operate in isolated, clean contexts, preventing the primary agent's context from being overwhelmed by specialized sub-task data.

소개

This skill empowers Claude to manage and extend its effective context capacity by implementing advanced techniques like compaction, observation masking, and KV-cache optimization. It is essential for developers building long-running agentic systems, processing massive documents, or aiming to reduce API latency and costs without sacrificing reasoning quality. By strategically preserving 'signal' and discarding 'noise,' this skill allows agents to maintain high performance even as conversations grow increasingly complex, effectively doubling or tripling usable capacity.
