Agent Instructions in Dust and Context Window Clarity

·May 23, 2025 09:48 AM·

Hi! Could you confirm whether the agent instructions defined in Dust are preserved even when the conversation exceeds the context window? In other words, are they treated as part of a persistent system prompt rather than being trimmed like regular messages?

Yes the instructions are always preserved. If the conversation is too big we will remove the oldest messages in the conversation.
