What is the size/length of context that GameDev Assistant can handle for scripts?

While actual values depend on whether you're using the non-reasoning or reasoning model - and other factors such as other content you're sending - the estimated cut-off for context is about 75,000 characters. Once this limit is reached, any script content sent after will automatically truncate - meaning the LLMs won't get the full context of the script(s).

We highly recommend the following:
  1. When using the @OpenScripts context tag, make sure to only have the scripts open that are necessary for the tool to resolve your query.
  2. Follow SOLID principles when coding in general.
  3. Try to limit each chat log to one specific feature or task. There is no limit on the number of chats you can create.
