context engine for your AI agents



Most agent failures don't come from weak models. They come from weak context. The model can sound capable and still miss the one note, decision, or preference that actually matters. That's not a model problem. It's a retrieval problem. I built added a "knowledgeFolder" into my OpenClaw plugin "contexto" to fix this. The agent can now search a real folder of documents at prompt-build time instead of relying only on chat memory. The retrieval is powered by qmd — a hybrid pipeline that runs BM25 full-text search and vector search in parallel, then reranks the strongest candidates before injecting them into the prompt. Why hybrid? Because real queries are messy. Sometimes you remember the exact term. Sometimes you only remember the idea. Sometimes the answer is buried in a paragraph with different wording. One method alone misses too much. BM25 handles exact matches, names, and identifiers well. Vector search handles semantic similarity when the wording changes. Reranking decides which results are actually worth showing the model. Pair it with Obsidian sync and your notes stay in the vault you already use. contexto watches for changes and keeps the index fresh in the background. The use case that makes it click: a founder asking "what should we prioritize next quarter?" Without this, the model gives generic product advice. With it, it surfaces your actual user feedback, roadmap drafts, and strategy notes from the synced vault. The model doesn't become smarter in general. It becomes grounded in the actual working context of the person using it. That's a much more useful improvement. Full writeup: raunaqness.medium.com/i-added-qmd-to…






OpenClaw suffers from bad context management most users maintain a single, indefinite session, on Telegram, where - context windows become cluttered with irrelevant facts - this increases token usage and costs - causes compaction at critical moments, like during tool calls we are building Contexto to solve these issues. after multiple user interviews, we see this is valid pain point, now we are accelerating!
