Products that do what Context Surgeon – Let AI agents edit their own context window does
AI agents accumulate stale tool results — file reads, web fetches, bash outputs — in their context window. Every one sits there for the entire conversation, consuming tokens and degrading quality. The standard fix is auto-compaction: wait until full, then drop content indiscriminately. Context Surgeon gives the agent three operations — evict, replace, and restore — so it can manage its own context. It works as a transparent local proxy that intercepts API requests, assigns IDs to content blocks, and applies eviction directives before forwarding. The agent calls the tools via bash. The proxy…

agents. Not a custom truncation strategy, not a sliding window, not dropping old messages and hoping for the best. The failure mode is well-understood: your context window fills up, you truncate from the top, and the agent loses the thread. It forgets the task it was working on, the file path it just wrote to, the UUID it needs to reference. The conversation breaks. The problem is everyone keeps solving it by throwing away information instead. Truncation is fast to implement and quietly wrong. The agent appears to work until it doesn't, and debugging context loss in a long-running session is…

Hello HN, I’ve been building AI agents lately and ran into a common "Context Bloat" problem. When an agent has 20+ skills, stuffing every system prompt, reference doc, and tool definition into a single request quickly hits token limits and degrades model performance (the "lost in the middle" problem). To solve this, I built OpenSkills, an open-source SDK that implements a Progressive Disclosure Architecture for agent skills. The Core Concept: Instead of loading everything upfront, OpenSkills splits a skill into three layers: Layer 1 (Metadata): Light-weight tags and triggers (always loaded…

Hi HN, Zidan here. I’ve been experimenting with AI-assisted debugging and noticed a recurring gap: most tools optimize for agent-led exploration (ex: giving claude code a browser to click around and try to reproduce an issue). But in many cases, I've already found the bug myself. What I actually want is a way to hand the agent the exact context I just saw - without retyping steps, copying logs, or hoping it can reproduce the behavior. So we built FlowLens, an open-source MCP server + Chrome extension that captures browser context and lets coding agents inspect it as structured, queryable…
