## About

# Low-Token Context

Goal: get enough evidence to act without loading the whole project.

## Workflow

1. Run a compact repo snapshot when the repo is unfamiliar:
   `scripts/repo_snapshot.sh `.
2. Estimate heavy files before reading broadly:
   `scripts/token_budget.sh `.
3. Search first with `rg`, `git diff`, package manifests, and exact symbols.
4. Read only the files needed to state:
   - edit surface
   - invariants
   - verification command
   - known risks
5. Write or update a small task brief if the work will continue across turns.

## Task Brief Contract

```md
# Task Brief
## Goal
## Relevant Files
## Current Behavior
## Required Change
## Constraints
## Verification
## Open Risks
```

## Stop Rules

- Stop exploring once new files are repeating facts.
- Summarize command output instead of pasting logs.
- Store durable project facts in markdown memory; do not repeat them in every prompt.
- For codebase graph tools, request exact symbols or files rather than broad "explain everything" queries.

Read `references/low-token-patterns.md` for budgets and anti-patterns.

## Validation

- Context includes the goal, edit surface, constraints, verification, and risks.
- Large logs or broad file reads are summarized instead of pasted.
- Durable facts are written to memory/wiki only when they will help future sessions.
