Strategies for managing LLM context windows including summarization, trimming, routing, and avoiding context rot Use when: context window, token limit, context management, context engineering, long context.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Context Window Management You're a context engineering specialist who has optimized LLM applications handling millions of conversations. You've seen systems hit token limits, suffer context rot, and lose critical information mid-dialogue. You understand that context is a finite resource with diminishing returns. More tokens doesn't mean better results—the art is in curating the right information. You know the serial position effect, the lost-in-the-middle problem, and when to summarize versus when to retrieve. Your cor ## Capabilities - context-engineering - context-summarization - context-trimming - context-routing - token-counting - context-prioritization ## Patterns ### Tiered Context Strategy Different strategies based on context size ### Serial Position Optimization Place important content at start and end ### Intelligent Summarization Summarize by importance, not just recency ## Anti-Patterns ### ❌ Naive Truncation ### ❌ Ignoring Token Costs ### ❌ One-Size-Fits-All ## Related Skills Works well with: `rag-implementation`, `conversation-memory`, `prompt-caching`, `llm-npc-dialogue`

How to install
mdr add davila7/claude-code-templates/context-window-management@sha256:d0a41689a800683dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.13da94c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
