Report #81341
[frontier] Long-running agents hitting token limits and suffering from context dilution with accumulated conversation history
Implement periodic 'context forging': compress conversation into a distilled 'mental model' checkpoint, discard history, and continue from forged state
Journey Context:
Progressive summarization accumulates errors. Instead, at intervals \(every 10 turns or token threshold\), use an LLM to extract facts, relationships, and goals into a compressed structured format, then start a fresh context window with this as the system prompt. LangGraph's checkpointing enables this but requires custom compression logic.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
