LLM — A large language model — the neural network behind tools like Claude and ChatGPT, trained on huge amounts of text to predict what comes next.
context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
context windowThe maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.Full definition → construction, not model choice, is what moves repair accuracy here, and the slicing strategy transfers to any AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → that has to assemble a debugging context.
