Agent Context Budget Doctor

An agent's context window is a fixed budget, and most setups spend it like they haven't looked at the bill: a memory file that grew by accretion, a dozen always-loaded skills, MCP servers whose tool definitions cost tens of thousands of tokens before the first request, hooks that log every event — and then the actual work arrives to find the room half full. The symptoms are familiar: instructions ignored mid-session, quality that degrades as the conversation grows, surprise costs, and compaction that eats the plan. Agent Context Budget Doctor treats it like a clinician. Give it your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, your skill list, MCP config, and hooks, plus the symptoms, and it produces a token-budget breakdown with the hogs flagged, a diagnosis mapping each symptom to its cause, and prescriptions ordered by payoff — including the rewritten memory file when trimming is the fix, a durable-state pattern that makes compaction a non-event, and the relapse-prevention habits that keep the setup lean. The download includes three reference files: the context-budget worksheet, the symptom-to-diagnosis guide, and the trimming playbook. It audits what you provide; it does not execute your agent or measure live sessions, and token figures are estimates. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and any SKILL.md agent.
