Context Engineering
Context engineering is the practice of deciding what a model sees before it answers: which sources, which slices of them, joined how, and in what order. Prompt engineering shapes the instruction; context engineering shapes the evidence. As systems move from single prompts to agents running unattended, it is the part that determines whether the output is grounded.
