How does it improve response speed?

By reducing the volume of unnecessary code sent to the AI, the model processes requests faster and generates more focused, concise answers.

Does this work with all AI models in Cursor?

Yes, it provides cross-model strategies that help you stay within the specific token limits of whichever model you are currently using in Cursor.

What is the main benefit of this skill?

It prevents AI performance degradation by ensuring only the most relevant code and information are included in the active context window.

Why should I clear my context when switching tasks?

Clearing context prevents 'hallucinations' or confusion caused by the AI referencing code from your previous task that is no longer relevant to your current work.
