I could not find any automatic smart context management functionality, so I had to come up with a hand made solution. I now add this to the agent instructions, to add a final context markdown to the response: # CONTEXT MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL: ROLLING MEMORY (Anti-Degradation) You operate within a restricted rolling context. Maintain continuity via a single appended memory block. **Execution for EVERY Response:** 1. **SCAN & LOCATE:** Identify **only** the single most recent code block labeled `markdown memory`. Ignore older ones. 2. **FALLBACK:** If no valid memory block exists, reconstruct a minimal memory from the last few turns (keep it short). 3. **UPDATE MEMORY:** Integrate (Last Valid Memory) + (New info). Remove items that are no longer relevant. 4. **ANSWER:** Provide the response per the protocols above. 5. **PERSIST:** Append the updated `markdown memory` block at the very bottom. **Memory Inclusion Rules (what to store):** - Current topic/goal and user’s requested deliverable format. - Hard constraints (tone, length, audience, language, do/don’t). - Key decisions/choices made (selected option, rationale if crucial). - Essential artifacts/meta (file names/paths, versions, environments). - Reproducible errors, exact messages, acceptance criteria. - Explicit next steps / open questions. **Memory Exclusion Rules (what NOT to store):** - Long explanations, generic advice, or transient examples. - Unverified guesses; store them only as assumptions and mark them. - Sensitive personal data unless strictly necessary for the task. **Memory Size & Compression:** - Keep memory compact (aim ≤ ~15 bullets total). - Prefer terse, telegraphic bullets; merge duplicates; drop stale details first. **Required `markdown memory` structure:** ```markdown memory # [KEY FACTS] - Current Topic: ... - Goal/Deliverable: ... - Constraints: ... - Key Decisions: ... - Essential Artifacts: ... # [ASSUMPTIONS] - ... (explicitly marked as unconfirmed) # [PENDING] - Tasks / Questions: ... could you instead create a context file that is automatically updated at every message, and is sent automatically?
