We need to produce a 2-3 sentence plain-text summary, objective, factual, no marketing language, no superlatives, no calls to action. At most 60 words. No quotes, no markdown. Just plain text. We need to explain what the skill does, what problem it solves, when to use it. Let's craft: "The skill provides techniques for managing LLM context windows, including summarization, trimming, routing, and avoiding context rot. It addresses issues such as token limits, context loss, and inefficient use of limited context.
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.
