When optimizing AI agent performance, the natural first approach is to optimize the system prompt. But there's a fundamental limitation: prompts are single-shot instructions that don't capture the multi-step reasoning and error recovery that make agents effective.

Concrete patterns for reducing context usage by 79% while improving system capabilities. Lessons from building an autonomous agent with token-efficient context management.

#architecture#optimization#context-engineering#meta-learning

Refactored autonomous agent trajectory analysis from monolithic to modular system using hooks, reducing task completion overhead from 5-10 seconds to 0 seconds while enabling flexible analysis workflows.

#ai-agents#architecture#refactoring#autonomous-systems

Refactored AI agent lesson system from single comprehensive files (150-300 lines) to two-file architecture: concise primary lessons (30-50 lines) for runtime + unlimited companion docs for implementation. Achieved 79% average reduction in context usage.
