# Context Optimization Techniques

Fit more into the same window without dumbing down the answers

## What this does

An assistant that reads too much costs more and starts to wander. This helps you decide what it keeps in front of it and what it drops, so the same window carries more. Reach for it when runs are getting expensive, or when you keep hitting the limit of how much the agent can hold.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Cut the token cost of a run
- Decide what an agent is allowed to keep in view
- Narrow what gets retrieved

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Context Optimization Techniques

Every run has a fixed amount of room, and most of it gets spent without anyone deciding how. This covers the deciding: budgeting what goes into context, masking observations you do not need to keep, and scoping retrieval so less comes back.

It also covers the cost side - reducing tokens spent, partitioning what is held where, and prefix or cache strategy - with the constraint that answer quality does not drop in exchange.

## Questions

### Is Context Optimization Techniques safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Context Optimization Techniques and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit c578e85e40fe, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/context-optimization.

### How do I install Context Optimization Techniques?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/context-optimization on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up.
