+# Context Quality Tiers
+
+Behavioral guidance for agents based on context window utilization.
+
+## Tier Definitions
+
+| Tier | Context Used | Quality | Guidance |
+|------|-------------|---------|----------|
+| PEAK | 0-30% | Full capacity | Explore freely, read broadly, take time to understand |
+| GOOD | 30-50% | High capacity | Be selective with reads, skip non-essential exploration |
+| DEGRADING | 50-70% | Declining capacity | Write incrementally, finish current task, skip nice-to-haves |
+| POOR | 70%+ | Critical | Finish current task IMMEDIATELY and return. No new reads. |
+
+## Behavioral Rules Per Tier
+
+### PEAK (0-30%)
+- Read all relevant files before making changes
+- Explore adjacent code for patterns and conventions
+- Write comprehensive commit messages
+- Full self-check protocols
+
+### GOOD (30-50%)
+- Read only files directly relevant to current task
+- Skip exploratory reads of "nice to have" context
+- Standard commit messages
+- Standard self-check
+
+### DEGRADING (50-70%)
+- Write changes incrementally (don't accumulate large diffs)
+- Skip optional verification steps
+- Brief commit messages
+- Abbreviated self-check (key_files only)
+
+### POOR (70%+)
+- STOP exploring. Finish the current task only.
+- Write SUMMARY.md immediately if executor
+- Return completion marker immediately
+- Do NOT start new tasks or reads
+
+## Agent-Specific Overrides
+
+- **Researcher**: At DEGRADING, write findings immediately rather than accumulating
+- **Executor**: At DEGRADING, complete current task then return CHECKPOINT
+- **Verifier**: At DEGRADING, check existence only (skip substantiveness/wiring layers)
+- **Planner**: At GOOD, reduce task detail level; at DEGRADING, finish current plan file only
