This skill should be used when agent work needs file-backed context: durable scratchpads, tool-output offloading, just-in-time discovery, cross-agent handoff files, filesystem memory, or cleanup policies for context stored outside the prompt.

# Filesystem-Based Context Engineering

Use the filesystem as the primary overflow layer for agent context because context windows are limited while tasks often require more information than fits in a single window. Files let agents store, retrieve, and update an effectively unlimited amount of context through a single interface.

Prefer dynamic context discovery -- pulling relevant context on demand -- over static inclusion, because static context consumes tokens regardless of relevance and crowds out space for task-specific information.

## When to Activate

Activate this skill when:
- Tool outputs are bloating the context window
- Agents need to persist state across long trajectories
- Sub-agents must share information without direct message passing
- Tasks require more context than fits in the window
- Building agents that learn and update their own instructions
