ContextPilot is a proactive context‑management framework designed to improve long‑horizon agentic reasoning with large language models. It expands the toolset to include planning, long‑term memory, and soft context offloading, and introduces a reinforcement‑learning strategy that focuses on critical editing decisions and assigns action‑level advantages. Experiments on long‑context QA and deep search tasks demonstrate that ContextPilot achieves stronger performance with a more compact working context, outperforming existing baselines across various base models and benchmarks.

The paper introduces the Weighted Memory Tree (WMT), a hierarchical memory system for large language model agents that organizes execution histories into tasks, subtasks, and actions while assigning each memory a dynamic retention score. Event-based updates and selection-based decay allow WMT to preserve useful information, fold completed trajectories, suppress low-utility content, and retain access to folded context. Experiments on GAIA-Text with Qwen3-8B, Gemma 4 E4B, and Llama-3.1-8B show that WMT improves accuracy by an average of 9.97 percentage points and reduces prompt-token usage by 32.8%, while also limiting the persistence of unreliable information.
