# K-04 — Write – Select – Compress – Isolate
# Category: KEY
# Kapitel: 05 – Context Engineering
# Anker: Lifecycle Write / Select / Compress / Isolate
# Orientierung: 16:9 landscape
# Didaktik: Taxonomy-Namen Write–Select–Compress–Isolate ≠ operative Priorität Select→Write→Compress→Isolate. Compress-first auf Müll ist der Klassikerfehler.
# Caption (DE): Operative Priorität Select → Write → Compress → Isolate (nicht Compress first).

Create a clean four-strategy lifecycle infographic, 16:9 landscape, for a professional practice book on coding-agent context engineering.

TOPIC: Write – Select – Compress – Isolate — find and keep the smallest high-signal token set.

GLOBAL STYLE:
- modern editorial infographic; navy, teal, soft blue, amber, slate purple; off-white cards; flat vector + soft depth
- minimal English labels; print-ready; no brand logos

QUALITY GUARDRAILS:
- every visible word correctly spelled English; max ~12 short labels on cards total if possible (titles count)
- no walls of tool marketing claims; no robot mascots

Title text exactly: "Context engineering lifecycle"
Subtitle: "smallest high-signal token set"

TOP RIBBON (priority order, left → right):
"1 Select → 2 Write → 3 Compress → 4 Isolate"
Small red note near Compress: "not compress trash first"

2×2 CARD GRID:

Card SELECT (teal):
- What: "fetch only now-relevant"
- Means: "grep / read · graph · JIT"
- Risk: "wrong hits"

Card WRITE (blue):
- What: "persist outside window"
- Means: "handoff · progress · AGENTS.md"
- Risk: "stale memory = poison"

Card COMPRESS (amber):
- What: "shrink existing context"
- Means: "mask · compact · cache"
- Risk: "detail loss"

Card ISOLATE (slate-violet):
- What: "split into windows"
- Means: "sub-agents · worktrees"
- Risk: "coordination cost"

BOTTOM MAPPING STRIP:
"handoff+new session = write+isolate · compact = compress · targeted read = select"

MOOD: practical taxonomy, not product splash.
ASPECT: 16:9.
NEGATIVE: no vendor logos, no neon, no fake % savings claims, no watermarks, no mascots.

# Follow-up edit:
# Keep order ribbon Select→Write→Compress→Isolate and the “not compress trash first” warning.
# Four equal cards with What / Means / Risk.
