Token Budget Aware Context Assembly

via “context budget management and token accounting”

from vibe coding to agentic engineering - practice makes claude perfect

Unique: Implements multi-level context budgets (per-agent, per-command, per-session) with real-time token accounting and hard-stop enforcement, providing visibility into token consumption across the entire agent execution tree. Unlike simple token limits in other frameworks, this system tracks consumption at granular levels and enables per-project budget customization.

vs others: More comprehensive than basic token limits because it provides hierarchical budgeting and detailed consumption reporting; more practical than soft warnings because hard-stop enforcement prevents cost overruns, though at the cost of potential task incompleteness.
