+# Combo Context Requirements Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+The Context Requirements feature allows combo configurations to filter and sort targets based on their context window size. This is useful for use cases requiring large context windows like:
+
+- Long document processing (100k+ tokens)
+- Large codebase analysis
+- Extensive conversation histories
+- Multi-file code reviews
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Schema
+
+Add `contextRequirements` to your combo's runtime config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "contextRequirements": {
+    "minContextWindow": 128000,
+    "preferLargeContext": true,
+    "contextFilterMode": "strict"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Fields
+
+#### `minContextWindow` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: `number` (0 to 10,000,000)
+- **Default**: `undefined` (no filtering)
+- **Description**: Filters out models with context windows below this threshold
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- `32000` - Filter out models with <32K context
+- `128000` - Require 128K+ context (GPT-4 Turbo, Claude 3)
+- `200000` - Require 200K+ context (Claude 3 Opus)
+- `1000000` - Require 1M+ context (Gemini 1.5 Pro)
+
+#### `preferLargeContext` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: `boolean`
+- **Default**: `false`
+- **Description**: When `true`, sorts remaining targets by context size (descending). Large context models are tried first.
+
+#### `contextFilterMode` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: `"strict"` | `"lenient"`
+- **Default**: `"lenient"`
+- **Description**: How to handle models with unknown context window limits
+  - `"strict"`: Excludes models with unknown context limits
+  - `"lenient"`: Includes models with unknown context limits
+
+## Behavior
+
+### Filtering Pipeline
+
+Context requirements are applied after `filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility()`:
+
+1. **Request compatibility filtering** - Removes models incompatible with request (tools, vision, structured output)
+2. **Context requirements filtering** - Applies `minContextWindow` and `contextFilterMode`
+3. **Context-based sorting** - If `preferLargeContext` is true, sorts by context size descending
+
+### Filter Mode Logic
+
+When `minContextWindow` is set:
+
+**Lenient mode** (default):
+
+- ✅ Includes models with context >= minContextWindow
+- ✅ Includes models with unknown context limits
+- ❌ Excludes models with context < minContextWindow
+
+**Strict mode**:
+
+- ✅ Includes models with context >= minContextWindow
+- ❌ Excludes models with unknown context limits
+- ❌ Excludes models with context < minContextWindow
+
+### Sorting Logic
+
+When `preferLargeContext` is true:
+
+- Models are sorted by context window size (descending)
+- Unknown context models sort to the end
+- Original strategy order is used as a tiebreaker
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Example 1: Long Document Processing
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Document Analysis",
+  "strategy": "fusion",
+  "config": {
+    "contextRequirements": {
+      "minContextWindow": 128000,
+      "preferLargeContext": true,
+      "contextFilterMode": "strict"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- Requires 128K+ context window
+- Prefers larger context models (Gemini 1.5 Pro > Claude 3 Opus > GPT-4 Turbo)
+- Excludes models with unknown context limits
+
+### Example 2: Large Codebase Analysis
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Code Review",
+  "strategy": "auto",
+  "config": {
+    "contextRequirements": {
+      "minContextWindow": 200000,
+      "preferLargeContext": true,
+      "contextFilterMode": "lenient"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- Requires 200K+ context window
+- Prefers larger context models
+- Includes models with unknown limits (lenient)
+
+### Example 3: Prefer Large Context Without Strict Requirements
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Flexible Chat",
+  "strategy": "weighted",
+  "config": {
+    "contextRequirements": {
+      "preferLargeContext": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- No minimum requirement (all models eligible)
+- Sorts by context size (largest first)
+- Useful when large context is preferred but not required
+
+## API Response
+
+When context requirements filter targets, the combo logger outputs:
+
+```
+[COMBO] Context requirements: filtered 10 → 3 targets (minContextWindow: 128000, mode: strict)
+[COMBO] Context requirements: kept models gemini-1.5-pro, claude-3-opus-20240229, gpt-4-turbo
+[COMBO] Context requirements: sorted by context size (descending): gemini-1.5-pro(1000000), claude-3-opus-20240229(200000), gpt-4-turbo(128000)
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Backend Module
+
+`open-sse/services/combo/contextRequirements.ts`:
+
+- `applyContextRequirements()` - Main filtering function
+- `getTargetContextWindow()` - Context lookup helper
+- Uses `getModelContextLimit()` from `modelCapabilities.ts`
+
+### Integration Point
+
+`open-sse/services/combo.ts` line 1187:
+
+```typescript
+orderedTargets = filterTargetsByRequestCompatibility(orderedTargets, body, log);
+orderedTargets = applyContextRequirements(orderedTargets, config.contextRequirements, log);
+```
+
+### Schema Definition
+
+`src/shared/validation/schemas/combo.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+contextRequirements: z
+  .object({
+    minContextWindow: z.coerce.number().int().min(0).max(10_000_000).optional(),
+    preferLargeContext: z.boolean().optional(),
+    contextFilterMode: z.enum(["strict", "lenient"]).optional(),
+  })
+  .strict()
+  .optional(),
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests (schema + logic)
+npm test tests/unit/combo-context-requirements.test.ts
+
+# Integration tests (end-to-end)
+npm test tests/unit/combo/context-requirements-integration.test.ts
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+- Schema validation: 6 tests
+- Filtering logic: 6 tests
+- Integration: 5 tests
+- **Total**: 17/17 passing ✅
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### All targets filtered out
+
+**Problem**: All targets removed, combo returns "no compatible models"
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Lower `minContextWindow` threshold
+2. Switch to `"lenient"` mode to include unknown context models
+3. Remove `minContextWindow` and use only `preferLargeContext`
+
+### Unknown context models excluded
+
+**Problem**: Custom/new models excluded even though they have large context
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Switch to `"lenient"` mode (default)
+2. Add model context limit to `modelCapabilities.ts`
+3. Remove context filtering and rely on strategy order
+
+### Sorting not applied
+
+**Problem**: `preferLargeContext` doesn't change order
+
+**Check**:
+
+1. Verify `preferLargeContext: true` in config
+2. Check if all targets have unknown context (all sort equal)
+3. Verify multiple targets remain after filtering
