I definitely agree with the need for this. There's just too much to put into the agents file to keep from killing your context window right off the bat. Knowledge compression is going to be key.

I saw this a couple of days ago and I've been working on figuring out what the right workflows will be with it.

It's a useful idea: the agents.md torrent of info gets replaced with a thinner shim that tells the agent how to get more data about the system, as well as how to update that.

I suspect there's ways to shrink that context even more.

Yeah, I'm experimenting with some ideas on that, like adding `lat agent` command to act as a subagent to search through lat and summarize related knowledge without polluting the parent's agent context.
