context-engineering
Engineer the full context a model sees — system prompts, retrieved knowledge, tool definitions, state, and history as one designed artifact. Use when moving beyond prompt tweaks to systematic context design.

# Context Engineering
Prompt engineering optimizes the words; context engineering designs everything the model sees —
instructions, knowledge, tools, memory, state, and history — as one coherent, budgeted artifact.
It's the discipline behind reliable agents.
## Overview
Every model call receives a context: system instructions, user input, retrieved documents, tool
schemas, conversation history, working state. Each component competes for attention and tokens.
Context engineering treats this as a design problem: what goes in, in what order, in what form,
with what budget — and how it evolves across turns. The output is a context architecture:
specified, measured, and iterated like any system design.
