System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Explicit, readable tracking of context consumption. All KB sizes are pre-calculated and published in .ai-context/.context-sizes.json (generated by aictx sync). The model reads this manifest on every prompt and calculates cumulative load before deciding to load agents or skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-calculated KB sizes published in the manifest for baseline and per-artifact costs.
  • Threshold-based guardrails: Safe (≤40 KB), Warn (41–80 KB), and Block (>80 KB) states to prevent context overuse.
  • Automatic load decisioning for agents/skills with optional user authorization when overload is detected.

Quick Start

Test the guard by loading a skill that would push total KB over 80 KB and confirm the authorization prompt appears.
