Report #5906
[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive log files or codebases into context to search for a specific error string
Delegate search operations to code execution tools \(e.g., ripgrep, grep, AST search\) instead of reading entire files into the context window.
Journey Context:
Context windows are expensive and prone to distraction. Loading a 10,000-line log file to find a specific stack trace wastes tokens and risks the model fixating on irrelevant logs. Using deterministic shell tools leverages exact matching, saving context for reasoning rather than raw data ingestion.
