Token Window Management
- Definition
- The art of optimally using an LLM's limited context. Includes: Token budget allocation (how much for system prompt, tools, conversation?), context compression, selective retrieval, and sliding window strategies. More important with 200K-token models than 8K – more space leads to "Context Rot" without management.
