context-budgetlisted

## Overview slipstream tracks an approximate context budget from the bytes pulled into context and converts it to a token estimate against the model window. This is honest guidance, not a guaranteed counter, but it lets you compact early rather than discovering the limit the hard way. ## Steps 1. Estimate the bytes you have read this session (file reads, slices, command output). A rough figure is fine. 2. Run `npx slipstream status . --bytes <bytes>` to see the budget level (`ok`, `warn` or `compact`) and its advice, alongside the project mind map. 3. Act on the level: at `ok` keep working; at `warn` switch firmly to scoped reads and start writing durable findings to memory; at `compact` run the `compact-and-offload` skill. ## Verify Confirm the status output reports a budget level and that you have taken the recommended action for that level.
