The entire thread is about managing token consumption and context window pollution through architectural isolation patterns.

The agent started losing context mid-run. It would correctly identify an anomaly in step 3, then forget it existed by step 7 when it needed that finding to make a final decision. The context window wa

Specialized knowledge for each capability doesn't fit comfortably in a single prompt. If context windows were infinite and latency was zero, you could include all relevant information upfront. In prac

As the session context crosses 85% of the model's available window, Deep Agents will truncate older tool calls, replacing them with a pointer to the file on disk and reducing the size of the active co

All of the information pulled together from the long-term or stored in local memory is called short-term or working memory. Compiling all of it into a prompt will produce the prompt to be passed to th

MCP servers may have up to 50+ tools and take up a large amount of context... Tool Search allows Claude Code to dynamically load tools into context when MCP tools would otherwise take up a lot of cont

The agent accumulates text after each tool call and passes it to the LLM again, so I need a way to handle this accumulation efficiently to optimize latency and token usage." — Article presents a real

Subagents tackle a fundamental problem in agent engineering: context bloat. This is when an agent's context window becomes close to full as it works on a task." — The article identifies context bloat

Without orchestration, agents duplicate effort, contradict each other, and lose context at every handoff. With it, you get systems that resolve customer tickets, process insurance claims, and manage s
