filesystem-context

SKILL.md

The filesystem provides a single interface through which agents can flexibly store, retrieve, and update an effectively unlimited amount of context. This pattern addresses the fundamental constraint that context windows are limited while tasks often require more information than fits in a single window.

The core insight is that files enable dynamic context discovery: agents pull relevant context on demand rather than carrying everything in the context window. This contrasts with static context, which is always included regardless of relevance.

Context engineering can fail in four predictable ways. First, when the context an agent needs is not in the total available context. Second, when retrieved context fails to encapsulate needed context. Third, when retrieved context far exceeds needed context, wasting tokens and degrading performance. Fourth, when agents cannot discover niche information buried in many files.
