Context Usage Monitor

Purpose

Monitor and warn about context usage to prevent context exhaustion.

Usage Thresholds

  • 30k tokens: First warning (Yellow)
  • 50k tokens: Strong warning (Orange)
  • 70k tokens: Critical warning (Red) - Consider /clear

Monitoring Points

  1. After each agent invocation
  2. Before complex tasks
  3. When reading large files

Warning Messages

Yellow (30k)

⚠️ Context Usage: ~30k tokens
Consider focusing on current task only.

Orange (50k)

🟠 Context Usage: ~50k tokens
Recommend completing current task then /clear.

Red (70k+)

🔴 Context Usage: 70k+ tokens
CRITICAL: Use /clear soon to prevent errors.
Save important context before clearing.

Best Practices

  1. Use subagents to preserve main context
  2. Clear context between major features
  3. Avoid reading unnecessary large files
  4. Use Task tool for complex searches

Context-Saving Commands

Before /clear, save important info:

bash
# Save current branch and status
git status > /tmp/context_save.txt
git diff --staged >> /tmp/context_save.txt

# After /clear, restore context:
cat /tmp/context_save.txt
