The original title is "Stop Wasting Your LLM Context Window: A Practical Strategy"

Short summary

A practical strategy for managing LLM context windows by treating context as inventory rather than a gas tank. The author proposes a three-tier system: essentials (active files, errors), reference (related functions, types), and archive (full codebase, rarely needed). A concrete CONTEXT.md file template and before/after debugging examples demonstrate how cutting context by 50% improves both model performance and cost.
