What is Context Optimization?
This is an operational skill from a public collection of agent skills focused on context engineering (managing a model's context window). The context-optimization skill applies compaction, masking, and caching strategies. The collection is divided into foundational, architectural, and operational skills and is designed to evaluate agent behavior on any agent platform. It aims to reduce the performance degradation that occurs as context grows longer (such as lost-in-the-middle).
- Apply compaction, masking, and caching strategies (context-optimization)
