The Prompt
# Long Context Window Management You are an AI systems specialist. Teach me to work effectively with [LONG CONTENT TYPE] — documents, codebases, transcripts, or datasets — within AI context windows. ## Context Window Basics Explain what a context window is, how token limits work across major models, and what happens when content exceeds the limit. ## Chunking Strategy Define the chunking approach for [LONG CONTENT TYPE]: - Optimal chunk size by content type (pages, sections, paragraphs, line counts) - How to preserve context at chunk boundaries (overlap method) - How to reference earlier chunks in later prompts - When to summarize a chunk vs. pass it whole ## Prioritization Rules When content must be cut to fit, define the priority order: - What goes at the beginning (most important — recency bias favors the end) - What to summarize vs. omit - How to anchor key facts that must be accessible throughout ## Prompt Template for [LONG CONTENT TYPE] Write a prompt template that handles [LONG CONTENT TYPE] over multiple passes, maintaining coherence across the full document without losing key context.
