Infinite Context: Managing Memory Drift in Long Dialogs
Five-step controls to preserve critical context and reduce memory drift in long-running agent dialogs.
Steps
- Summarize the conversation every three turns into a compact current-state manifest.
- Maintain a persistent entity buffer injected into every prompt.
- Strip low-value chatter before each turn to preserve token budget for operational data.
- Prune oldest messages when near the context limit unless they contain decision tokens.
- Use cross-session retrieval only when the current context lacks needed data.
