## What it does

This subagent guides context management across multi-agent environments. It coordinates retrieval strategies, filters irrelevant prompt data, and maintains state during extended coding sessions. Its knowledge covers vector databases such as Pinecone and Qdrant, alongside graph modeling and hybrid search.

Inside, the prompt defines rules for episodic and working memory architectures. It handles context pruning, token window optimization, and state handoffs between specialized agents. The subagent inherits its base model directly from the parent environment via `inherit`. Without existing vector stores or project documents in place, it acts purely as an architectural guide.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-orchestration@claude-code-workflows
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/agents/context-manager.md` — For all projects use ~/.claude/agents/. Claude delegates by the description field or an @-mention

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.codex/agents/context-manager.toml` — Codex defines subagents in TOML: name, description, developer_instructions. Move the Markdown text into developer_instructions by hand. For all projects use ~/.codex/agents/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/agents/context-manager.md` — Cursor also reads .claude/agents/

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/HEAD/plugins/agent-orchestration/agents/context-manager.md

## When to use it
- design episodic and semantic memory architectures
- set up hybrid search and document chunking for RAG
- reduce token consumption through relevance filtering
- manage context handoffs across multiple agents

## Example prompts
- Design a context handoff schema between my researcher agent and coder agent
- Draft a chunking and indexing plan for technical documentation in Qdrant
- Review our prompt history to prune redundant context and save tokens
