What is context engineering?

Context engineering is the process of curating the smallest possible set of high-signal tokens for an LLM task to maximize reasoning quality while minimizing costs.

How does this skill help reduce AI costs?

It provides strategies for context compaction and caching that target a 50-70% reduction in token usage with less than 5% loss in output quality.

When should I implement compaction triggers?

According to the skill guidelines, you should start warning at 70% token utilization and trigger active optimization or compaction at 80%.

What are the core principles of this skill?

The core principles include favoring context quality over quantity, using progressive disclosure, isolating work across sub-agents to prevent degradation, and measuring performance before optimizing.
