What context-engineering-advisor does

This skill runs an interactive consultation lasting 15 to 20 minutes to audit struggling AI pipelines. It targets setups where models hallucinate, misroute requests, or depend on repeated retries. Instead of dumping massive raw files into the prompt, the advisor identifies why excessive token volume harms outputs and points out missing structural boundaries between agents.

Attention is treated as a finite asset. When prompt size passes 32k tokens, reasoning accuracy drops sharply because models overlook intermediate details amid background clutter. The advisor suggests replacing full-document persistence with focused retrieval, compact information density, and a clear separation between immediate session state and persistent vector storage. Passing unstructured context across chained agents without strict boundaries guarantees compounding errors.

What it helps with

  • isolate prompt bloat in multi-agent pipelines
  • set up two-layer memory dividing session history from vector storage
  • stop accuracy degradation in prompts exceeding 32k tokens
  • define context boundaries between chained agents

Example prompts for the agent

  • Diagnose my setup: our triage agent gets the complete policy document per request and still misroutes edge cases.
  • Help me design context boundaries for a multi-step agent pipeline.
