Context window

Overview The context window is the model’s working space for a request. It is measured in tokens: pieces of text or other model-encoded information. Relevant instructions, conversation content and tool results take space; the model also needs capacity for its response and, depending on the model, reasoning. It is different from your saved conversation, workspace storage and credit balance. A file can be stored in Projects without its entire contents being available to the model on every turn. In Ideatura
  1. Identify the current model and route.
  2. Supply the information needed for the current task.
  3. Keep the intended result and constraints explicit.
  4. Use the documented capacity or indicator for that route when available.
Check the result You distinguish working context, saved material, usage tokens and credits.

​
Choose context

Overview In Ideatura, task context can come from your prompt, Guidelines, selected skills, attached files, pinned references and information read through a connected application or tool. Be explicit about which source establishes which fact. Attach the relevant drawing page or detail, name the target view or elements and state dimensions or units. A whole project upload does not establish that every page has been read. In Ideatura
  1. List the facts needed for this task.
  2. Attach the relevant sources and identify their roles.
  3. Specify the model, document, view and scope.
  4. Ask the assistant to identify unresolved information before making a large change.
Check the result The request contains enough evidence without burying the task in unrelated material.

​
Long conversations

Overview Long conversations accumulate instructions, revisions and tool output. When the task changes substantially, preserve a short handover: objective, current file/revision, completed changes, unresolved issues and the next bounded step. Before continuing in a fresh conversation, reopen the saved result and attach the handover and required references. Starting a new chat does not automatically transfer the old conversation’s working context. In Ideatura
  1. Save and inspect the current result.
  2. Write a short handover with the authoritative file and decisions.
  3. Start a focused continuation when useful.
  4. Confirm the new conversation has the needed sources and constraints.
Check the result The next step starts from the correct result without silently losing decisions.
