+# Context
+
+OpenClaw's "Context" represents everything the model receives for a run, constrained by the model's token limit. It encompasses the system prompt, conversation history, tool calls, and attachments.
+
+## Key Components
+
+The system breaks down into several parts:
+
+- **System prompt** (built by OpenClaw): includes rules, tools, skills, time/runtime data, and workspace files
+- **Conversation history**: user and assistant messages within the session
+- **Tool results and attachments**: command outputs, file reads, media
+
+## Context Inspection Commands
+
+Users can monitor context usage via:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/status` | Shows window fullness and session settings |
+| `/context list` | Displays injected files with approximate token counts |
+| `/context detail` | Provides granular breakdown by file and tool schemas |
+| `/usage tokens` | Appends token usage to replies |
+| `/compact` | Summarizes older messages to free space |
+
+## What Counts Toward the Window
+
+Everything sent to the model consumes tokens:
+
+- System prompt sections
+- Conversation history
+- Tool calls and results
+- Attachments and transcripts
+- Compaction summaries
+- Provider wrappers
+
+## Workspace File Injection
+
+OpenClaw automatically injects these files (if present):
+
+- `AGENTS.md`
+- `SOUL.md`
+- `TOOLS.md`
+- `IDENTITY.md`
+- `USER.md`
+- `HEARTBEAT.md`
+- `BOOTSTRAP.md`
+
+Files exceeding `bootstrapMaxChars` (default 20,000) are truncated, with truncation status indicated in context reports.
+
+## Skills and Tools
+
+Skills include metadata in the system prompt but load instruction details only when the model calls `/read` on the skill file.
+
+Tools incur dual costs:
+1. Text descriptions in the system prompt
+2. JSON schemas that count toward context separately
