The State Block: three lines of self-summaries before every agent step
bigaiguy · x · 2026-09-14
The "State Block" trick: before every complex step, the agent writes its own state in three lines — "What I know. What I still need. What I'm about to do." It re-grounds itself each turn instead of trusting a fading context window.
The quoted context covers "Structured Over Prose": never store memory as paragraphs; convert everything into keys like decision:, constraint:, openquestion: so structured memory survives compression while prose gets mangled by summarization.
