- For
- Developers managing agent context and prompt files
- Worth noticing
- Each file is independent, with no repository configuration required; intentional budget changes need re-signing, while content edits need only a check.
Field notes
The format assigns budgets to named elements, so a document can give a whole context file and individual workflows separate limits. The CLI treats budget changes as signature changes that require re-signing, while ordinary content edits only need a check. The Rust interface uses the same document primitive and supports template interpolation; the project leaves roles and usage accounting to the calling application.
