FastContext-1.0 is a lightweight repository-exploration subagent for LLM coding agents. Instead of letting a single model both explore the repository and solve the task, FastContext separates these two roles: it is invoked on demand by a main coding agent, issues parallel read-only tool calls (READ, GLOB, GREP), and returns compact file paths and line ranges as focused context.
Repository exploration is a major bottleneck in modern coding agents — locating relevant code consumes a large share of the token budget and pollutes the solver's context with irrelevant snippets. FastContext moves this work into a dedicated subagent so the main agent receives clean, grounded evidence rather than the long trail of exploratory reads and searches.
The model family spans 4B–30B parameters, bootstrapped from strong reference-model trajectories via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and refined with task-grounded reinforcement learning (RL) for broad first-turn search, multi-turn evidence gathering, and precise citation generation.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when you need to process or generate natural language text, when prompting can solve the problem, and when occasional errors are acceptable with validation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when perfect accuracy is required, when real-time information is needed, for mission-critical decisions without human oversight, or when costs would exceed value delivered.
