Filesystem as Context (Context Offloading)(FSC)
Treat the agent's own file tools plus the operating-system filesystem as unbounded, persistent, agent-operable external memory. Token-heavy tool outputs such as search results, page dumps, and large files are written to disk and replaced in the message history by a short reference (a path plus a one-line summary); the agent re-reads or greps the file on demand. This keeps the live context window small and the KV-cache prefix stable while preserving full recoverability, unlike lossy summarization. Distinct from `context-write-patterns` (which teaches memory abstractions like buffers and vector stores rather than the agent reading and writing its own scratch files) and from `plan-todo-recitation`, which is only the todo.md-recitation slice of this larger idea.
