prompt construction

Smarter Context, Not More Context, Unlocks Smarter Coding Agents

Most coding agents drown in the very context meant to help them. They gather more files, add more data, and hope the model sorts it out. It doesn't work. Irrelevant code competes for attention, and when the window fills, agents compress their own memory mid-task. That's not forgetting; that's degraded context. Treat prompt construction like a compiler, deciding what to keep, reduce, or discard. It's a practical, human-centered fix.
