Principlev1
Include minimal sufficient context with every inter-agent
Include minimal sufficient context with every inter-agent message—what the previous agent did, what constraints apply, and what the receiving agent needs to know—rather than transmitting either everything or just the artifact.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory limits), Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (context-dependent retrieval), and Information and attention have an inverse relationship: a (information wealth creates attention poverty). It prescribes a design pattern for context transfer—enough context for action but not so much as to overwhelm. General principle, not specific practice.
