[agent\_craft] Loading massive files into the LLM context window for parsing or filtering

Delegate filtering, parsing, and aggregation of large data structures to code execution \(e.g., Python REPL/tool\), only passing the result back into the LLM context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are bad at scanning thousands of lines of structured data and it wastes tokens. Agents often try to cat a file and read it, leading to context overflow. Writing a quick Python script to extract the needed 5 lines and returning those 5 lines is vastly more token-efficient and reliable than hoping the LLM spots the needle in a 10k-line haystack.
