Context window budget

See how system prompt, tools, history and documents fill a context window, and what compaction buys you.

Sizes are rough and adjustable; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer.

171k of 200k

  • System prompt 3.0k
  • Tool definitions 24.0k
  • Conversation 120k
  • Retrieved documents 16.0k
  • Reserved for the answer 8.0k

29.0k left. Still, less noise in the window usually means better tool choices.
