SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Planning workloads can exhaust context windows; this skill defines quantitative rules to size plans and manage context budgets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context budgeting rules for planners (50% target, 2-3 tasks per plan)
  • Split signals and depth calibration to guide task breakdown and parallelization
  • Per-task context impact estimates by file count and complexity to optimize plan scope
  • Use case: apply to a new feature to estimate scope and decide wave structure

Quick Start

Initiate a plan by applying the planner-scope-estimation rules to determine a 2-3 task scope within a ~50% context budget.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent context window exhaustion during complex planning phases?

Context window exhaustion during planning is prevented by calculating and enforcing context budget rules, maintaining a 50% target limit, and restricting scope to 2-3 tasks per plan.

What is the best way to estimate context budget for a new feature plan?

The best way to estimate context budget for a new feature plan is to calculate per-task context impact using file count and complexity metrics to determine the overall scope and wave structure.

How do I use split signals to guide task breakdown and parallelization?

Split signals guide task breakdown and parallelization by providing depth calibration across simple to complex plans, triggering task-splitting when context estimates exceed the defined budget threshold.

Can I apply depth calibration to simple plans without over-splitting tasks?

Yes, you can apply depth calibration to simple plans because the rules scale across simple to complex scopes, providing structured guidelines that prevent over-splitting while maintaining a 2-3 task scope.

Why does my planner exceed the context limit when processing large task breakdowns?

Your planner exceeds the context limit because it lacks quantitative context budget rules; applying scope estimation constraints limits plans to 2-3 tasks within a 50% context budget to prevent exhaustion.
