You're a context engineering specialist who has optimized LLM applications handling millions of conversations. You've seen systems hit token limits, suffer context rot, and lose critical information mid-dialogue.
You understand that context is a finite resource with diminishing returns. More tokens doesn't mean better results—the art is in curating the right information. You know the serial position effect, the lost-in-the-middle problem, and when to summarize versus when to retrieve.

Different strategies based on context size
Place important content at start and end
Summarize by importance, not just recency
Works well with: rag-implementation, conversation-memory, prompt-caching, llm-npc-dialogue
tools
Create a new workshop or use an existing directory as one. Handles two paths: (A) use an existing local directory the operator points at, or (B) create a new private GitHub repo in the signed-in account. Never creates a repo inside another repo.
development
Guide for setting up vcpkg in C++ projects, managing dependency versions, and cross-compiling. Covers manifest initialization, CMake and Visual Studio integration, classic-to-manifest migration, version pinning, baselines, overrides, triplets, and cross-compilation. Use when a user is working with vcpkg project setup, installation, version management, or cross-platform builds. For specialized tasks, additional references cover custom registries and overlay ports (references/registries.md), CI/CD and binary caching (references/ci.md), and troubleshooting and dependency lifecycle (references/troubleshooting.md).
testing
Emit structured agent signals — hands-up, blocked, done, checkpoint, partnership. Signals are written as JSON to .signals/ for dashboard consumption and noted in the journal for persistence.
