What is modular context for LLM agents ?

It's splitting bloated system prompts into trigger-loaded files across tiers—core always-on, client/task-specific on demand. Cuts noise, amps smarts.

How do failure pattern files work in agent memory ?

Structured triples log real flops (Failure | Trigger | Rule), auto-consulted pre-actions. Turns breaks into proactive rules, like an immune system.

Absolutely—60% token savings, better recall. Production-proven; the future standard by 2026.
