Context & Memory
Context
How context is gathered, displayed, scoped, and shaped as a design material.
Observed Examples
Flue's harness model treats context as a first-class primitive managed via hooks, analogous to how React manages component state and side-effects.
Graphify converts codebases, docs, SQL schemas, and configs into a structured knowledge graph that agents query for context instead of relying on vector similarity search.
The tool ingests and maintains awareness of the full codebase as persistent context for ongoing agent actions.
Skills as discrete units require context-passing conventions to function correctly across different agent harnesses.
The core thesis is that every token in the orchestrator's context competes for its attention, making context protection the primary justification for subagent use.
