Curated Context Window

Problem

Dumping "everything" into context introduces noise; irrelevant files bias the agent.

Solution

Keep the primary agent's context sterile: only high-signal files plus the task spec. Spawn helper agents (e.g., search agent) whose noisy exploration never pollutes the main window.

Example

sequenceDiagram Main->>SearchAgent: "Find User model usages" SearchAgent->>Repo: ripgrep User SearchAgent-->>Main: summary list of 8 files Main->>Files: open top-ranked matches Main->>Tool: edit_file
