Context Sculpting (perceptiontheory.bearblog.dev) AI

In a “vibe research” demo, the author tests “context sculpting,” where a larger outer agent can rewrite a smaller inner agent’s working context between turns; in an initial conservative setup the harness increased cost ~14x without rewriting, but after making the outer prompts and tasks more intervention-heavy it produced active context edits, reducing noisy history via inject and compact rewrites and improving clarity, though a coding repair case shows the approach can also substantially increase turns and time.
