# Context Hygiene

Context Hygiene: what it does, its label on each agent, what it misses, and examples.

Catalog policy context-hygiene, version 0.0.3, labelled advisory on Claude Code.

> Ask the user before running any command on this page: each one changes how their agent or repository behaves.

## What it does

Trigger: context bloat, stale observations, resolved content inlined, noisy exploration. avoid: context rot and lost-in-the-middle failures.
