Sliding Window Management(SWM)
Dynamic window management with recency bias, relevance scoring, and intelligent token retention strategies
Complexity: mediumContext Management
🎯 30-Second Overview
Pattern: Dynamic window management with recency bias, relevance scoring, and intelligent token retention strategies
Why: Optimizes memory usage and conversation coherence by intelligently managing context boundaries in long interactions
Key Insight: Adaptive window sizing with relevance-based retention maintains conversation quality within memory constraints
⚡ Quick Implementation
1Window Sizing:Dynamically adjust window size based on task complexity
2Recency Weighting:Apply decay functions to prioritize recent content
3Relevance Scoring:Score content importance for retention decisions
4Boundary Management:Manage context transitions and coherence
5Performance Tuning:Optimize based on response quality metrics
Example: size_window → weight_recency → score_relevance → manage_boundaries → tune_performance
📋 Do's & Don'ts
✅Implement adaptive window sizing based on conversation complexity
✅Use exponential decay for recency weighting
✅Preserve conversation coherence at window boundaries
✅Monitor and adjust based on performance metrics
✅Cache frequently referenced context segments
❌Use fixed window sizes for all conversation types
❌Drop important context just because it's old
❌Ignore context dependencies across window boundaries
❌Apply uniform relevance scoring to all content types
❌Skip validation of window transitions
🚦 When to Use
Use When
- • Long conversation management
- • Memory-constrained environments
- • Real-time processing requirements
- • Adaptive conversation systems
Avoid When
- • Short-duration interactions
- • Static context requirements
- • High-precision historical references needed
- • Legal/compliance contexts requiring full history
📊 Key Metrics

Coherence Score
Conversation flow continuity rating
Response Quality
Output quality with windowed context
Memory Efficiency
Information density per token
Adaptation Speed
Time to adjust window parameters
Boundary Smoothness
% seamless context transitions
