CONTEXT ROT AND CONTEXT BLOAT

PRACTICE LAB CONNECTION Run a needle-in-a-haystack test against the Resume Review Agent lab once it processes a large batch of resumes in Chapter 66. For instance, plant a distinctive fact, such as "Certified in underwater welding," inside one resume in a batch of many, and then ask the agent to find every candidate with that certification. Try batches of different sizes and different positions of the planted resume. Record your results in a simple table, then test the prompts below against those results. This exercise shows you directly how your own agent behaves, which is worth more than any published number.
