Source Summary
Introduces a "context budget": rank material by decision-relevance, evict anything that does not change the next action. Includes a worked example on a real repo.
Practical Implication
Practical, tool-agnostic, testable. Apply the budget per session instead of dumping everything into the window.
Agent-Ready Context
Treat context as a budget, not a dump. Rank material by decision-relevance; evict anything that does not change the next action. Works across Cursor, Claude Code, Codex.
Context Map
Uncertainty
Framework is presenter’s own; not yet independently benchmarked.
