Report #15836
[agent\_craft] Agent gets overwhelmed by deep implementation details while trying to plan the next steps, or lacks architectural context while writing detailed code
Separate the planning and execution loops. Use a high-level, summarized context for the planner to decide the next goal. Pass only the specific, detailed context needed for that single step to the executor.
Journey Context:
A single context window cannot effectively hold both the 10,000-foot architectural view and the line-by-line implementation details. If the planner sees too much detail, it gets lost in the weeds. If the executor sees too little, it lacks local coherence. Decoupling them allows each sub-agent to operate with an optimal context density.
