Use Case
Context Budgeting is a powerful AI agent skill that extends your assistant with new capabilities. Manage and optimize OpenClaw context window usage via partitioning, pre-compression checkpointing, and information lifecycle management. Use when the session context is near its limit (>80%), when the agent experiences "memory loss" after compaction, or when aiming to reduce token costs and latency for long-running tasks. This guide walks you through installing Context Budgeting, configuring it for your setup, and running your first commands β so you can start getting value in minutes.
