Context management refers to the practice of tracking, organizing, and maintaining relevant background information—whether in software systems, AI applications, or general project work—so that decisions and outputs remain coherent and informed over time. In AI/LLM applications specifically, it involves curating what information stays in or is removed from a model's working memory to optimize performance and cost.
