The repo would be more helpful if it had, or linked to, any kind of quantified data on how this affects the LLM output quality or task completion.

> Why

> System prompts are 50-200k tokens. …

1. Are system prompts really the primary purpose for this?

2. As of five months ago, Claude’s prompt was 12-65k tokens depending on enabled tools [1]. Does “50-“ refer to 50K? The repo should link their source for the 50-200K range.

curious how it handles tool call schemas, those can be surprisingly token-heavy, sometimes dwarfing the actual prompt content.
