Individual skill
agent-context-budget
Use when launching parallel or background subagents, or when a handoff, log, or result would be more than a short summary (roughly 2 KB). Caps return sizes (summary in the reply, detail by path), picks a cheap model tier for mechanical lanes, records durable decisions as proposals, and checkpoints or primes a fresh session before context runs out.

# agent-context-budget
Keep the primary session small while lanes do the reading and writing. There
is no second budget source: native mode follows the host's limits and the caps
written into each brief; harness mode takes every number from the policy
referenced by the current `TaskCheckpoint`. The "roughly 2 KB" in the
description says when to use this skill; it is not a limit.
Do not use this skill to summarize away unresolved failures, human decisions,
raw scientific evidence, or security findings.
## Before launching lanes
- Put a return cap in every brief: status, short summary, files changed,
