Less Context Makes AI Smarter

Context Engineering

The instinct is to give the AI everything. All your docs, all your integrations, all your history. More information, better answers. But that's wrong. Language models have a fixed attention budget. When you dump 200 pages of context into a session, the model spends attention on things that don't matter, follows irrelevant threads, and conflates concepts from unrelated domains. The agent gets dumber the more you give it.

Curation beats accumulation. A focused agent with three relevant modules loaded outperforms one drowning in twenty. The architecture should make it trivially easy to control what's in scope, so users naturally keep the context tight. Modules in, noise out.
