# Token Budget Report Template

## Current goal

- What question must be answered next?

## Keep loaded

- Which 3-6 surfaces are authoritative enough to stay in active context?

## Reuse instead of reread

- Which runtime artifacts, prior summaries, or task docs already cover the needed context?

## Compact and drop

- Which broad notes, repeated chat summaries, or low-authority reads can be collapsed into one sentence and removed from active context?

## New evidence still required

- Which focused files or commands still need to be read or run?

## Risk notes

- What important detail would be dangerous to over-compress?
