I have rule files that guides the agent towards my coding standards, code style, house rules etc. They alone cost 60-80k tokens, and they are the backbone of my system that prevents slop. Pre 1M context, I had to build complicated tooling to re-include the relevant docs to the context upon compaction, which relied on unstable transcription file format, which was a pain to maintain. With 1M context I deleted all of those. Nowadays most of my sessions uses 300-450k context.
Another thing that's preventing me from trying Codex. (the other is @ referencing files not auto including them to the context)
1M should be table stakes for frontier models at this point for programming.
