Context Management
The Context Window
Models have a limited memory span (Context Window).
What fills it up?
- System Prompt: Instructions (2k tokens)
- History: Recent chats (5k+ tokens)
- Files: Read files (
context.read) (Infinite potential)
Compaction
When context gets full (e.g., >100k tokens), Moltbot triggers Compaction. It summarizes the oldest messages into MEMORY.md and deletes the raw logs to free up space.
