Operational Mechanics

Runtime Operations

1. Context Management

  • Monitoring: Check tokens via /status or observing response latency.
  • Optimization: Use managing-context for compression strategies.
  • Degradation: Performance drops >40% usage. Reset or fork session.

2. Session Control

  • Plan Mode: Double Shift+Tab for high-reasoning tasks.
  • Forking: Isolate heavy tasks to avoid polluting main context.
  • Checkpoints: Use _state.md to persist progress across sessions.
