- •50k tokens: Strong warning (Orange)
- •70k tokens: Critical warning (Red) - Consider /clear
Monitoring Points
- •After each agent invocation
- •Before complex tasks
- •When reading large files
Warning Messages

Best Practices
- •Use subagents to preserve main context
- •Clear context between major features
- •Avoid reading unnecessary large files
- •Use Task tool for complex searches
Context-Saving Commands
Before /clear, save important info:
bash
# Save current branch and status git status > /tmp/context_save.txt git diff --staged >> /tmp/context_save.txt # After /clear, restore context: cat /tmp/context_save.txt
