Context-ReAct: Elastic Context Orchestration for Long-Horizon Search Agents

other · 2026-05-07

A recent study presents Context-ReAct, a framework designed for flexible context orchestration in long-horizon search agents. This method tackles the issue of handling the rapidly expanding working contexts as agents reason, utilize tools, and gather information. Context-ReAct combines reasoning, context management, and tool usage into a cohesive loop, offering five fundamental operations: Skip, Compress, Rollback, Snippet, and Delete. These operations enable agents to adapt their working context dynamically by retaining crucial evidence, summarizing resolved data, eliminating unproductive branches, and managing context size. The research demonstrates that the Compress operator preserves semantic integrity. This work is available on arXiv with the identifier 2605.05191.
