Our GitHub Copilot Integration guide provides detailed strategies for combining these tools effectively.

How do I handle context window limitations?

To manage context window limitations effectively:

• Create a centralized documentation repository
• Use focused prompts rather than general questions
• Implement information compression techniques
• Reference specific documentation files rather than pasting entire contents

Our Managing Context Window guide provides detailed strategies for working within token limits.

Which web access method should I use: WebFetch or Tavily?

Choose the appropriate method based on your needs:

• WebFetch: Best for accessing specific web pages with direct content needs
• Tavily: Ideal for broader research queries that require synthesis across multiple sources

Our WebFetch vs. Tavily comparison provides detailed scenarios for when to use each approach.
