Report #4549
[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly reads the same configuration or schema files for every step, wasting tokens
Establish a 'pinned context' or 'working memory' block. When a file like a DB schema or API spec is identified as critical, load it once, mark it as pinned, and protect it from summarization or eviction until the task phase changes.
Journey Context:
Agents often re-read package.json or schema.prisma before every file edit to ensure compliance. This burns tokens. By explicitly managing a pinned section in the context window, the agent avoids redundant tool calls while maintaining strict adherence to the schema.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
