Vibecoding 21: what an agent keeps
A chat of 10 messages in a window of 6: which messages the agent still sees, which it has lost, and what a file in the project keeps. Lesson 21 of the Vibecoding from zero course.
The window slides
- Messages 0 to 5 fit
- Message 6 arrives: 0 falls out
- At 10 the window holds 4 to 9
- Notes in a project file are read again
| Messages in the chat | Kept | Forgotten |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4 | 0 |
| 6 | 6 | 0 |
| 10 | 6 | 4 |
Write what must last into a file; the chat is not a notebook.
