Prompt
I have the following context sources available for an AI task:\n\n{{context_sources_list}}\n\nThe task is: {{task_description}}\nThe context window limit is: {{token_limit}} tokens\n\nRank each context source by:\n1. Relevance to the task (High/Medium/Low)\n2. Estimated token cost\n3. Information density (unique info per token)\n\nThen recommend which sources to include, in what order, and what to cut if the total exceeds the budget. Explain the trade-offs of each cut.

Variables to customize

{{context_sources_list}}{{task_description}}{{token_limit}}
