Why your AI agent re-reads everything (and what it costs you)

A date-extraction task needs the source text and its assignment. It usually does not need every earlier brainstorming answer. A reviewer may need much more. Match the context to the job.

Removing context can remove a crucial constraint. Keep source facts, required dependencies and the original goal available. Check the result before trusting a shorter prompt.

Foreman saves completed jobs under a project name. Its planner selects relevant earlier results for each workstream. Workers receive selected project records and required dependency outputs.

The receipt records selected context size and actual prompt tokens for calls. A character count is not a savings percentage. To measure savings, compare the same job and model with and without selection, and check answer quality too.
