  • Context Compaction Routine (memory-and-context, developing): Treat the context window as a finite attention budget: compact deliberately at task boundaries with notes, persistent artifacts, and subagent isolation, and prefer a clean restart over grinding thr…
  • Corpus Ingestion Flow (best-practices, developing): A new system prompt export enters this vault only through .raw: save it under a dated name, record its sha256 in (path) parse and diff it with (path) then file findings as wiki notes with line-refe…

  • Multi-Agent Fan-Out Research Flow (best-practices, developing): Fan out parallel worker agents from a lead orchestrator only for breadth-first research worth roughly 15x chat token spend; Anthropic’s own orchestrator-worker Research system “outperformed single-…
  • Prompt Engineering Workflow for Fable 5 (best-practices, developing): Prompt work on Fable 5 is empirical: define success criteria and tests before tuning, write clear instructions with their motivation, structure with XML, control depth with the effort parameter ins…
