Report #71035

[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive file contents into context to search for specific code or errors

Delegate search and filtering to deterministic execution tools \(e.g., ripgrep, grep, awk\). Only load the extracted results into the context window.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to 'read' files to understand them, but LLMs are bad at linear scanning of massive texts and it wastes context. Code execution environments are deterministic and fast for regex/search. The context window should be reserved for reasoning over the extracted signal, not acting as a database query engine.
