context-budget
From the author
Use when a long-horizon task is filling the context window and you must decide what to keep, offload, drop, or hand off to a fresh window — when to compact, what the summary must preserve, and whether to isolate a read-heavy subtask in a subagent. NOT dollar spend or caps (that is cost-tracking), NOT finding context via embeddings (that is rag).
