Most wasted context comes from opening the wrong cluster. Before reading anything, classify the user's intent into one of four postures, then jump straight to the entry node for that job. One good entry beats scanning three MOCs.

The four postures

Posture	The user wants…	Output shape
Build	UI produced or changed	Code, using the cluster's values
Judge	Existing work assessed	A table or list — never unsolicited edits
Decide	A call made before building	A yes/no or a pick, with the trade named
Name	The precise word for a thing	The term, one line, stop

Judge-posture outputs are read-only: return the review-format table or a deletion list, don't rewrite the code unless asked. Decide-posture nodes (like animation-decision-framework) must be consulted before writing code, not cited after. Name-posture lookups (design-vocabulary) answer and stop — no implementation.

Rules

Route before reading. Classify posture, pick the entry node, open it. Only widen to the MOC when the entry node's outbound links don't cover the question.
One entry node per question. If you find yourself opening four nodes up front, you skipped classification.
Judge posture never writes. A review request gets a table; a fix request gets code. Don't convert one into the other silently.
Always end with the overrides. Whatever the route, load gotchas and pov before producing output — installer taste wins over canonical defaults.

Gotcha

The router is for entry, not coverage. Landing on easing-curves doesn't exempt you from prefers-reduced-motion — follow the entry node's own outbound links for the mandatory companions.
