#88 · /context, see what fills your model's context window, by category, with the free space left

· Memory & context · CLI / Desktop / Gateway

your Hermes Agent's context window holds more than your messages: the system prompt, the tool definitions, your memory, any project rules and the conversation so far.

how much room does each one take?

type this in the chat:

/context

you get a breakdown of the window by what fills it, with the free space that is left.

useful before a long session, or when you want to see how close a chat is to compressing!
