[ AI ][ TOOLS ][ MEMORY ]
Deliberately splitting an agent's context into smaller, separately managed pieces so each part stays within a manageable size instead of one giant context window doing everything.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"We started context sharding once the project got too big for one window to hold."
LORE & ORIGIN
'Sharding' borrowed directly from database-scaling vocabulary, applied to agent context management as context windows became a real bottleneck.
