Term code: AUG-0134 · Discipline: Agentic AI (Verification) (AV) · Period: 3 · Language: en

Description

A graded degree to which a user understands the mechanics of a model's context window and manages interaction strategically around its limits. It is an attributed knowledge-and-behaviour state of the user.

Operational definition

STATE. Rated, not counted: scored from (a) a short knowledge probe about context-window behaviour and (b) behavioural indicators of management (summarising, re-anchoring, or splitting near capacity). Attribution above a pre-registered composite threshold.

Measurement schema

Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Composite of a knowledge-probe score and coder-rated management behaviours (frequency of deliberate context-management moves per long session); components standardised and combined; behaviour coding reliability via Cohen's kappa.
